| - I was super excited when I saw a new restaurant was opening in my desperate-for-dining-options neighborhood of Seville. I was less than thrilled to see that it was yet another casual, un-unique (is that a word?) establishment. I mean, do we really need another pizza & salad option around here? What my friends and I are really dying for is a something a little more fancy, like a wine bar. But I digress, of course with limited options and our fondness for Blue 32, my family gave this a shot tonight.
What I like:
- family-friendly. Every table had kids, yet I noticed there were no crayons or any extras to entertain your kids. Nice kid meal for $5.
- The pizza and salad were great! They had a couple options that were more creative than what you may get at big sister Blue32. Like the "Baller" we had tonight with pesto, sausage and ricotta.
What was lacking:
- Service. I get it, they just opened, but 1 salad, 1 pizza and a kids pizza took over 35 minutes. Waaay too long when you're with a 2 year old.
- Lunch prices. I work out near Local Eats and notice it's dead for lunch. I think this is because it's expensive for a lunch crowd. I had hoped to be able to pick up a lunch-portion salad or sandwich to go, but I'm not paying over $10 for lunch.
- Creativity. They are new, but I hope to see some changes in the menu so we don't get bored going there. There were 2-3 non-standard pizza's or sandwiches on the menu, one with an egg and chipotle sauce one with fig & prosciutto , etc., but other than that it's your standard, wedge, Caesar, pepperoni pizza and the like.
Good potential for what it is. I'm thankful for another dining option.
