| - This is my first 2-star review, and it pains me to give it to a local place that has a lovely location/reputation and that I otherwise would have loved if not for a few things.
1) THE MUSIC. The only place to sit, unfortunately, was inside, right in the corner beneath a speaker. My husband was sitting 2 feet away and I could not hear him speak. I also had a hard time hearing our server. The music was mostly rap. It had the feeling of being next to a booming bass at a frat party.
2) I suppose it was tied to the music, but the ambience was more akin to an alehouse than a real restaurant.
3) Service was spotty and not very professional. After telling our waitress we needed more time to think about what to order, we waited 10 full minutes before we saw her again, and I had pretty much decided right after she left what I had wanted. Any longer and I think we would have left.
Again, I love and support all local Phoenix places, but I was highly dissapointed. The redeeming things, that would push me more towards a 2.5-star review if possible, were that our sandwiches were good (the griddled cheese and the acapulco) , and the patio looked much nicer to sit on. However, we won't be back to find out if it is or not.
