I love this restaurant and go here frequently, but I can't give it 5 stars only because too many times service has been painfully slow. We are usually okay with the slow service because it gives me time to enjoy my two favorite things. But, sometimes it will test my patience.
On to my favorites:
First, the appetizer, which in my case is always the Crudites. It is basically a massive bowl of raw vegetables served over ice. It does not sound exciting but it is the most gorgeous bowl of raw vegetables that you will ever see! The veggies are seasonal, so they vary, and often they will include something unrecognizable, yet vibrantly purple, and it's just not often enough in life that I get to think, "Hmm, what is this purple thing I am putting in my mouth?"
My second favorite thing is some fabulous drink called the Skinny Cucumber Citrus Margarita. Since it is "skinny" and since there is plenty of time before the food arrives, you can drink two of these drinks. Or three, if you are a little crazy and not driving. It is muddled cucumber, oranges and mint (heck, this makes it almost healthy!) and topped with a little carbonation. It is just so good, I wish I was drinking one right now.
My husband always gets a beer, feels a little disappointed when it comes out of a can, but then likes it and orders a second, too.
The food is good and the menu is seasonal. The kids' pizza is HUGE but all the adult servings are normal. The kale salad that comes with the burgers is best if it is taken in the same bite as the sweet potato hash (that also comes on the side). The sweetness helps cut the bitterness.
The waiters are cute and I recommend sitting outside!
