| - We took a party of five - 4 adults and a preschooler - for dinner last night, and we had some terrific food. The martini flight is a cute idea, and they have a nice selection of beers.
We loved the bread with sun-dried tomato spread, and the rice balls were a pleasant surprise - I hate fried balls of starch (a la mac and cheese bites), but these were excellent. The ravioli with duck confit and dried cranberries was very good. We thought the meat might be dark-meat turkey, but either way - it was tasty. My brother-in-law enjoyed his enchiladas, and while the stuff under them made for a lovely presentation, they did not offer much in the flavor department. The sweet potato quesadilla was different and good. The bowling alley burger and kids meal were fine. Same deal with the soup and gazpacho.
Our server was delightful. There was a pretty big back-up in the kitchen, and she kept us updated and supplied with bread (and apologized for the wait) . After our food finally arrived, I found that two of the ravioli were empty, and one was nearly so. I told the waitress, who appeared mortified and offered to bring a few more. The kitchen made a new, perfectly composed entree in record time, and we all enjoyed what was now a super-sized order of ravioli. The waitress apologized for the lack of quality multiple times, and she made sure that the issue was corrected to my satisfaction without making me feel like a whiner.
The place doesn't have much wiggle room, but the booths are big enough to keep you from feeling crowded, and we were able to carry on conversations without interference from noise in the restaurant. The bathroom was great - I realize this is a lame criterion to rate, but the moms of the world will understand.
