I work upstairs and they stay open late for lunch, so I decided this place was perfect for me for lunch the other day. I sat outside so can't comment much on the decor inside, though definitely a huge change from the La Paz days.
Service from hostess to server to busser to food runner was all very nice. The bread is excellent, I think it was my favorite part of the meal! It was so warm and fresh, a nice crustiness to it. Its served with a sun dried tomato spread and I actually liked it, not being a huge SDT fan.
I got a salad and a pizza for lunch. Here is where I am annoyed. I asked is that too much food, the server assures me not at all. Lie!! The salad was entree size and I ate less than half. Look I get that it pads his check, but I respect you more for your honesty and that's what makes me a repeat customer. The salad wasn't great though, it was a chopped salad and it was drowned it dressing and some of the lettuce was sad and limp. And not really chopped, I expected smaller pieces for a chopped salad, but that's me being nit picky I guess.
My entree was the vegetarian pizza. I was excited for this. And then I was pissed. They covered it in red pepper flakes. I didn't request this, it wasn't on the menu and I have 0 tolerance for spicy food. So I sat there trying to pick the pieces out while my lips and mouth burned and I seethed. I of course said nothing because it was already getting late and my hour for lunch was quickly ending so I just took it as a lesson learned, next time I will explicitly tell them to not add anything other than that which is stated on the menu!
I gave 3 stars because I am not ready to write them off yet. They are convenient for me for lunch so I want them to succeed. But maybe a little more time to get all the kinks worked out before I try again.
