![]() ![]() ![]() Here is where we fell in love with the food and frankly (again!) the restaurant as a whole. Nothing crazy or mind-blowing about them. The guacamole was a little heavy on taco seasoning and we both felt the Romano and truffle fries could use a little more Romano. They were just ‘fries’. Service was fast and prompt (always one of the most important things!), but our main courses came so quickly that we hadn’t fully enjoyed the appetizers. We decided either we ordered the wrong apps or we just didn’t have enough time to enjoy them. But the rest of our meal was so much better. Our appetizers were the least exciting part of our experience. So we both ordered one and enjoyed the light-bodied profile and grapefruit agave flavor. It sounded good and quite frankly (pun intended), the price was just as appetizing. She informed us its a rotating/seasonal pick, which was Sierra Nevada Orta Vez at this time. We asked our server what “Frank’s Pick” was on the beer menu. ![]() If you don’t enjoy this hidden gem, we’ll either put some gas back into your tank … or seriously re-evaluate our friendship with you.
