Eating here for lunch with my friend, Molly, was pleasant but not memorable and a little too expensive for the quality of the food. The service, however, was friendly and efficient.
I ate at this restaurant a lot during Tucson #1 but haven't been back since we've returned to Tucson. It looked the same to me. Its a fairly narrow space towards the front and then widens a bit in the back. They have a nice patio area in front.
I ordered an albacore tuna sandwich with sweet potato fries accompanied by a slightly spicy dip. I was really satisfied with my lunch; the portion of fries was big and the dipping sauce was excellent; the bread was fresh and there was lots of tuna with celery, sprouts and cucumber. It was pretty dry though so i ended up using two sides of mayo. The sweet potato fries were excellent and not greasy.
Molly had a more tortuous route to a satisfactory lunch. She initially ordered a Mojave salad which listed about 9 different vegetables on top of a bed of lettuce with a side of cilantro vinaigrette. However, the big bowl contained 95% lettuce and limp at that. and the few avocado slices i could see had brown spots. She also got a sad and stale looking roll with one of those butter 'cups' that must hold a third of a teaspoon. I've been known to go through a dozen of those to adequately butter a roll or piece of bread.
Molly eventually asked the waitress for a substitute meal because of the inedibility of the salad. This was graciously and promptly done with a vegetarian burrito which was proclaimed good.
I might try this restaurant for breakfast in the future to give them one more try and that's because i liked the atmosphere and the welcoming service.
