I've been here three times now and I have to say that the food is pretty darn good. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what they are doing in the kitchen, but this last time after waiting 15 minutes for our waitress to acknowledge us and take our order it took another 40 minutes for our food to arrive. If it was dinner, I may not have cared quite so much, but for breakfast it just wasn't fun. Maybe it is because there are just too many menu items (they serve breakfast and lunch all day) that the kitchen isn't equipped to run efficiently.
Pros: Rosemary potatoes
Cons: Kitchen and Service is slow

Overall very good! Excellent location - restaurant wide open - not a romantic cosy place, but a great place to go with firends. The meal was veyr good, especially for the price - not the typical "we are in the Pearl so we charge $100 just for the pleasure of dining here". The menu was eclectic, with not a lot of choices, but what was delivered was excellent. The Ahi Tuna and the Carnitas appetizer were excellent. The bowls were available in a variety of tastes - the noodles with Thai Peanut was good, not too peanuty, but could have used some more heat. The seared beef on the side was done to perfection. The Mexican style chicken was excleent - big portion, and very tasty. Wine list short, and geared toward lower end wines, but the waitresses reccommndation was very good. Service was good, not great. Depending on how you took it, it was either leisurely (which is what we wanted - so hard to tell), or lacking as there were only a few table in use. Overall would go there again, and reccommend you try it as well.
