![]() The way she talked to me when I ordered wasn't polite, but I guess that's what you get when you're in downtown. She looked spaced out though, so I guess I'm not too bugged by it, but you might. Then she looked at me, told me to wait, and helped some other people who already paid (this part is fine). The lady actually looked at me, then looked over away from me, looked at me again, looked away to ignored me, came back for a second, then took 2 other people's orders before me. Not in a blatant, insulting way, but they ignored me for almost 15 minutes when I was in front, ready to order food. I know that some people care about the experience though, so I'm inclined to mention that the lady and man there were both rather rude. As a disclaimer, I care less about bad service if the food is good. I'm mentioning the price that these items should be worth because I don't want you to waste money like I did.īoth of these average, surprisingly mediocre items totaled to $18. Actually no, maybe $6, it's just slightly above vons carrot cake quality. I'd pay $4 for it, from the quality of ingredients and taste. Why? They're incredibly tiny, you could go to the store and get a bag of the same (or better) stuff for $3Ĭarrot cake wasn't horrible, but it was expensive as hell. However, I feel like they would be priced $2.50 anywhere else ![]() Mini cookies were okay, there's nothing special about them, but they aren't bad. The only way I would return is for the bone marrow.This review is based mainly on food and service The girls order crepes for dessert and I had a bite - they were okay - but I was already full and not being a fan of crepes made it hard for me to take an additional mouthful.Ī pleasant meal even though there were a few hiccups but overall a nice brunch place to hang out as a couple, family or with your girlfriends. I hate it when I am disappointed at the simplest of dishes when eating out. In fact, I make a similar dish at home and it is one of the easiest things to do as long as you have good quality ingredients (I get my sausage from Claro’s Market in Tustin) and you don’t overcook the pasta. Penne with roasted peppers and sausage ($10.95) was under-seasoned and very boring. I’m not sure the caramelized onions or candied pecans did much to enhance the flavors, but the gorgonzola and prosciutto definitely added a much needed saltiness to the pizza. When it arrived, they were dried figs rather than fresh and that immediately changed the flavors on this pizza. The pizza with mission bay figs ($13.95) caught my eye and I should’ve inquired carefully before ordering because I asked the server if they had figs - as it wasn’t in season - and she said yes. Oh well, I still wanted some and decided upon the Mozarella Tasting Plate ($11.95) consisting of burrata, buffalo milk mozarella, Fior de Latte cow’s milk mozarella.Ĭarpaccio and arugula ($11.95) had some parmigiano shavings, capers, extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice and only fared average with me. ![]() They do not, but is acquired from an authentic little place in Little Italy I’m told. I saw that they had a “mozarella bar pantry” and inquired if they made the cheeses in-house. Even so, there was a lot of marrow for the 5 of us. ![]() The marrow hidden within the bone was so gooey and rich and after we lathered it onto the bread with a dollop of the parsley, garlic and caper salsa verde, we bit into it and proclaimed it heavenly! This is a very rich and heavy dish so I highly recommend sharing. Three chunks of bone arrived on a platter with salsa verde, roasted garlic and artisan bread slices. We began with baked Bone Marrow ($12.95). There were 5 of us, and luckily everyone was pretty easy going when it came to menu selection. Cynthia had fond memories of her meal at Chocolat when she visited San Diego on a previous visit and wanted to go back again. When my friend Cynthia visited from Toronto, she managed to gather some of our old school friends together for Sunday brunch. It isn’t always that a bunch of people who haven’t seen each other for about 30 years is able to get together, especially since we all knew one another on another continent.
