| - Let me first start out by saying that the service here was just terrific, from the moment we had entered, with the gentleman opening the door, to the manager holding the door open as we left. Also, the degree of service was very consistent, even with the 6 staff members we had encountered. Thank you. And please keep it up.
After work today, I rushed to make it in time for their happy hour, which ends at 6:30pm - and yes, I made it. I basically ordered 4 out of the 5 dishes they had available on the HH menu. The first one was the vegetarian flatbread with penne basil, roasted sweet cherry tomatoes, and parmegiano reggiano (the cheese might negate the vegetarian label, though) - very delicious, to say the least. We also ordered the meatballs, which were quite good; but I wouldn't say they were the best. Their prosciutto wrapped dates with goat cheese were not as sweet as Firefly's, but might rival it both in quality and as an overall side. I wanted to order another plate of it, but got full too quickly. Their oven baked goat cheese dish was very simple, too, with house-made bread and a lightly fried mixture of bacon, goat cheese spread, along with some thinly sliced apricots. The chef also decided to give us the fifth and final happy hour menu item: the Gnocchi, on the house, which has a bit of a lovely spice, along with their sausage. I was very surprised that the chef did that. I guess the chef wanted us to try the whole HH menu, which is a pretty great list.
I did, however, want to try their oxtail soup that I had read about a few weeks ago. Sadly, they had removed it from their HH menu. On a happier note, this led me to check out the other dishes from their regular menu. We ended up getting the Due Forni pizza with the Roman style crust. And I have to just thank them for making an amazing concoction of a pizza. The meat, the sauce, whatever was put in there made it so delicious. And the crust - the crust! It was crispy and light, just how it was intended. After everything I had eaten here, I didn't even feel like disgusting and gross, and regretting what I had eaten. Perhaps I didn't eat as much as I thought I did or maybe the food just wasn't of the greasy type.
Overall, I had a wonderful experience here. I cannot wait to try out the rest of their menu.
