| - First visit today and ordered the special (always do and don't ask what it is on the first visit), the gyro and the cheese burger.
So I believe the special was spinach ravioli with sundried tomato, mushroom, garlic, basil and a butter sauce. First off, it was really quite good. The sauce was spectacular, bravo, chef. The ravioli was al dente, which is good, I think I would pull it just a bit soon though because a little texture would help but that's just me. Seriously, I would order it again, it was good.
The gyro was as it should be and frigging stacked with meat. Tiziki was on point. Red onion added color and a bit of depth that made it just right. Very good job.
The cheese burger was unique, served on baguette and formed to fit perfectly. Somebody put some thought into this dish. One of the better burgers I've had and there are no shortage of burger shops so that's saying something. One of the top 10 in my opinion.
The fries are good. Cooked correctly and seasoned well. For me I would have used celery salt on them as opposed to table salt because when next to the gyro and the burger they came across a little plain, but again that's just me, I'm sure other would disagree.
The decor is fine, lighting is bright, the shop is clean as it can be, the folks are fun and clever with their approach to customer service, I enjoyed them a lot.
So one thing, and I almost hate to say it but kitchen staff should be dressed like kitchen staff. That's important to me, so I was a bit disappointed that they weren't, once again though, that's just one guys opinion and I am equally certain that an informal approach appeals to a lot of people so I am not judging. These guys have been doing this for awhile now and doing it very well so they know what they are about.
I'll be back and I hope the ravioli will be on the menu when I get there.
