| - Although this may be the most infamous restaurant in the Valley, our experience could not have been better. The owners, Samy and Amy, were extremely nice and it was great to meet them. My only concern is that because they are now doing everything themselves, they are going to burn out very quickly.
For dinner we started with Amy's famous flatbread and the artichoke dip which is so filling and delicious it could be a meal in itself. We followed that up with panini sandwiches. I had the provolone and muenster with prosciutto and Lauren had the spicy salami with peppers. Both of our sandwiches were excellent, although as good as the flatbread was, I wish they still served pizzas :-)
Finally, we finished off our meal by splitting a flourless chocolate cake (I don't recall the official name) that was the perfect mix of decadent flavors and moist chocolate cake.
If you're planning on eating dinner, I highly recommend making reservations because now that Amy, Samy, and one dishwasher / busser make up the entirety of the staff they are having to turn away potential customers once they reach a certain number of customers in the restaurant. While some walk-up customers may not like this, it certainly means that the quality of service is ensured for the customers who are already seated.
However, if you just want to stop in for dessert, you can easily do that without a reservation and you will still have a great time.
The night we dined, there was a good crowd and many appeared to be regulars. We will definitely be returning and its a good reminder that there is generally nothing real about "reality TV".
The moral of the story, don't let your preconceptions stop you from trying this place or you'll miss out on an excellent meal!
