I was very glad to see they were opening a new restaurant in Vistancia. I love supporting our neighborhood and 71 will help us do that. I've been twice since opening night and will be back again for sure. Opening night the service was a little rough but that is to be expected. I was a chef and have worked in the food industry and can say opening nights, week even is just to work on all your kinks. The second time I went back was much smoother and our server Marc was much more attentive and knowledgeable than the lady the first night.
For food we all ended up getting the "Build a Burger"s. Very impressive and price is very fair as well. Fries were awesome and the toppings/Ciabatta buns were great. Nice atmosphere as well, had some live singing which wasn't too loud like some places and the patio is going to be great on nice evenings!
They have a rather decent size wine and beer list. All the normal ones you would expect from the Macro-brew companies like Budweiser and Coors and a good size handful of craft beers as well. This is the one are I would like to say wasn't the best. While it was nice to have a large selection, none of the craft brews were that great. I'd say one of the biggest categories of craft brews is the IPA and they didn't have a single one. I recommend a good IPA on the menu and you could even weed out a few of the other options as I don't see them selling well from my past restaurant experience.
Overall we were all very impressed and will be regulars as long as service gets where it needs to be and I am confident it will with people like Marc. Solid food, solid prices, nice atmosphere and local. I really couldn't ask for much more, other than a good IPA please. :)
