| - First of all, I've been here LOTS of times. I first came when they originally opened and I was a vegetarian. The veg meatballs are fantastic and I was thrilled to have a delicious option. The spinach almond pesto was inane good and llthe meatball became the delivery vehicle for this unbelievable sauce. I was also fond of the taziki sauce. Both so fresh, light, and full of flavor. And their rocket salad was always my favorite. This was definitely a 5 star place at this point.
Then this one day, when I decided I was really to lose my vegetarian virginity, I chose the Meatball Joint to do so. The bartender was so excited for me and really helped me do it up ïright. I noticed the spinach almond pesto was no longer on the menu, but there was a basil cream, and I thought that sounded fantastic.
I got 4 beef meatballs, one with basil cream, one with arrabiata, and one with mushroom gravy. They were delicious, but I was also intoxicated.
I have since gone back several times, sober, and I have to say, their sauce options are many, but they are all so thick and heavy and they just don't excite me. I've begged many times to bring the spinach almond pesto back and the manager has said he hears that multiple times a day. So why do you keep this flavorless basil cream?
Additionally, I went with a friend not long ago and he ordered tots with a bbq chicken (flavor of the month) meatball on top. They brought fries with a completely naked ball on top. We asked and they said that when people order that way they leave the sauce off. WTH?!?! That's the whole reason he ordered it in the first place, for the BBQ sauce!!!
Basically, it's not that exciting anymore and in my opinion has gone from a fun, yummy place, to an average place that will fulfill potential future intoxicated needs. That's really not great.
