. "0"^^ . . "The Mission in Old Town had been on my list of places to eat in the Valley based on the love of their cocktails and food by so many, I just hadn't had the chance. We walked by the new location in Kierland about a month ago and said: \"Oh, we need to check this out.\"\n\nMy parents were in town on the way home from their yearly vacation by road trip and I decided we needed to check this out. Although we sat at the community table there were no issues with our table mates at all. But I will point out that the largest reservation you can make on Open Table for peak hours is 6, so be prepared to use your phone to call in, I know you don't like people that much, but the interaction will set you up for success. On Saturday morning I received a call confirming my reservation. Upon arrival we were greeted, my only complain is that there is no waiting area where the front desk is. \n\nOur server was extremely attentive and full of spunk. She offered multiple recommendations, know the menu as if she had tasted it all in the hours prior. We got our water often.\n\nThe Chips were delicious, one of the things you may get out of this is the customized guacamole, we had some that was super spicy and one mild. For those that want to feel the heat they also have Ghost Pepper sauce to make you wail for milk.\n\nI shared the Grouper with my girlfriend, although the flavoring was on point I just don't think I'd order it again. The paella reduction just didn't suit me, the fish was excellent though. My mom had the Fried Mahi tacos and chili grits on the site. I'm not much of grits person, they tasted good, but if you don't have shrimp I'm probably not ordering it. The mahi tacos were delicious as well. \n\nA great night out, sadly I was unable to enjoy a libation. A bien tote."^^ . "2017-06-18T00:00:00"^^ . . "2"^^ . "4"^^ . "2"^^ .
