Notes: To us, casual dining does not excuse lazy and inept service (hence the three minus points). The food was ok (prosciutto + goat cheese + asparagus on a pizza worked well, and pineapple on the nachos was a nice touch), but the service was beyond bad. The chocolate milk was clearly haphazardly prepared (we're convinced that it was Nesquik mixed with the expired milk of a rabid kangaroo), and although we mentioned that we were in a bit of a hurry and promised that the food would be ready in 15 minutes (seemed reasonable, given that the restaurant wasn't busy at all), it took closer to 35 and we had to rush through the meal, then practically beg the server to not only bring the bill, but then to come back so that we could pay. We probably would have enjoyed the experience more had the service been better. Instead, just like the milk, our palate is soured toward this joint.
