Before I could sit down, the bartender was asking for my order. I asked for a drink menu and chose a Kendall Jackson Chardonnay. My friend arrived, and we were seated at a very small booth that may have been too cramped if we were large people. We were in the midst of a conversation, and, right before the punch line, a waitress interrupted us to take our order. The staff training must focus on employees behaving like over eager puppies instead of being intuitive to pragmatic nuances, but, at least they were friendly. My friend ordered a bacon and red onion pizza, which she said was good. I ordered The Southwestern, a black bean veggie burger with cilantro aioli, guacamole, and jalape\u00F1o. I requested no bun, which they honored. The burger was delicious, accented by the accompaniments. The fries were soft and warm, needing no additional seasoning. The music was a mix of the most irritating pop music, the kind that features video game sounds. But, at least it wasn't overwhelmingly loud. My summary: decent food and rapid service in a setting that was slightly elementary. I predict that my friend and I will meet there again as it was a good halfway point for us."^^ . "2"^^ .
