The other night we visited Sauce. It wasn't my first time here and I honestly had fantastic meals in my two previous visits. This time however, I feel Sauce fell a little short on a meal they should thrive on being their name is Sauce.
When I saw Sauce was on Groupon, I was quick to purchase the deal at $18 for $30 worth of food, after all, I had great meals there. So the other night when we were too lazy to cook, we decided to revisit Sauce in Henderson near the Galleria Mall.
When we arrived we sat at the bar which was completely empty. It was a Thursday night so it was to be expected. The bartender was nowhere to be found but the owner or manager was very quick to attend to us. We ordered their in house beer which at $2 was a fair price. It's right in there with your Bud Lights and Coors Lights of the world.
When it came time to order I realized they had a new, slimmed down menu which looked very nice. My two previous visits I had the open faced meatball sub and their pizza, both yummy! We started with their homemade garlic knots which are just fantastic. And for the main dish, this time I went with their build your own pasta dish which at $16.50 and at an Italian joint, I figured it was going to be rockin'! I ordered the creamy, grilled chicken fettuccine with roasted garlic. Sounds good right? The food came out and the presentation was fantastic. It looked great! The first mouth full, I felt I had to add salt, maybe some more basil? I wasn't exactly sure. The sauce was just bland. I was hungry so I did put a mean dent into the dish but I'm sorry to say, I will not be ordering pasta from there again. Does this mean I will never return? No, I will be back but I will stick to what's safe, open faced meatball and pizza.
