What we had: Smoked chicken pizza (Jen), Apple salad, Mac & Cheese Gratin (me), Carmel Heath Bar Crunch Brownie Sundae
The single-serving pizza was very good--cheesy, the chicken done just right, tasty grilled red onion--and of respectable size for $12; we took half home. The apple salad was similar to the Uva Bar's Manchego salad, though I think it was a different cheese. And my Mac & Cheese Gratin was perfect! Served in a crockery pot, it was more or less a bowl-o-cheese, with Cheddar, Swiss and Parmesan cheeses along with crunchy garlic croutons. It was so incredibly rich that I could not eat more than 1/3, so that came home as well.
Finally, the Carmel Heath Bar Crunch Brownie Sundae. Think about what that must be like, just from the description, and note that it's covered in walnuts and chocolate and caramel sauces. Absolutely decadent, and between us we could not finish it.
Service: A slow start, but otherwise good. We were seated at the window, which looks out onto busy El Camino Real, and at one point watched a traffic stop. Our server came over to see what the flashing lights were all about and told us there are many tickets issued outside this restaurant. Drink refills were just slightly long in coming, but not excessively.
Would we go back: Yes, and we think it's an ideal place to bring friends or family when they're in town.
