"1"^^ . "2"^^ . . . "I am usually a person who sticks to Old Town or Arcadia/Biltmore when it comes to going out to eat due to where all my friends and I live. I had to go north to run some errands, and a friend and I decided to check out the McCormick Ranch plaza. I have to say it's changed a lot, since I've last been here. There's Butters breakfast spot, busters, Zipps, and I think Jade Palace got replaced by TCBY.\n\nMy friend already ate at Busters, so we decided to go to Spotted Donkey. I was amazed by the decor when I first stepped in. It felt like the first time I walked into Modern Steak or J & G Steakhouse. It was different, modern, yet had a nice casual vibe to it. A modern latin decor with hints of burnt orange surrounded the area. We decided to sit at the bar and was greeted by a pleasant bartender.\n\nWe had a couple of beers and tried out the ceviche which was fresh and vibrant. We also split the nachos which was not the kind I was expecting. The nachos had a lot of flavor on large tortilla chips. I wish it had a more spicy kick to it, but I usually lean towards spicy than others. The beers were around $6, but they were giant size.\n\nWe had a great time sitting around and catching up with some other friends who joined later. I really like the service, scenery, and food. I'll definitely do another followup review when I come back to try out the dinner entrees."^^ . "4"^^ . "3"^^ . . "2011-10-26T00:00:00"^^ .
