A: Well who knew there was such a gem of a place like table 274 tucked away in a shopping center so close to me?! They are so friendly here as well! Walking in they opened the door for me and later in the meal they even gave me a few free shots. When someone offers me free shots they've made a new friend! Plenty of parking, and the restaurant has a nice open feeling to it. The food was oh so delicious, and described very nicely by Chad E. The portions were small but they brought out tons of them and there ended up being way more than enough for everyone! The cheese plate had a nice variety of interesting cheeses, my favorite being the mild and super fresh tasting Brie. I was a fan of the pork on pork, but then again anything wrapped in bacon is pretty tasty to me. Not so much a fan of the sweet potato gnocchi because the texture was a bit off putting to me and reminded me of a boiled plantain. The chocolate panna cotta? Contrary to popular belief I only had 2! Those things are so delicious though I could probably have just eaten those the whole time. The drink specials were really popular and tasty. I got to try out every single cocktail at the CMYE and there wasn't one I didn't like. The basil infused tomato martini was savory and earthy, while the cucumber lemon martini was bright and refreshing. The others were supremely fruity and perfect for a hot day. My favorite was the strawberry mojito that Faith recommended. It's like a strawberry starburst for adults! And they even make some of the drinks in shot form as I found out later when I got offered some free shots from the nice people working there! This is a fabulous place that I'm going to have to try out again soon. Also I need more chocolate panna cotta.

Q: negative

A: So, I've enjoyed Mi Cocina before.... but I think my tastes have matured. The salsa was good, but the sauce inside of my taco and chimichanga was a strange ketchup/bbq tasting mixture. Beans were ok, rice, not so much. I probably won't be back. Sorry Mi Cocina.

Q: positive

A: This place was awesome! We had excellent attentive, knowledgeable service. The food was all fantastic and they really let us take our time and enjoy each course slowly, which I enjoyed (they had asked if we had any later commitments, like any shows we were seeing....I assume they would have sped things up if we had said yes, but we enjoyed taking our time here). Fantastic food, great service, but it's definitely pricey! They also gave us a unique chickpea bruschetta (sounds a little funny but it was delicious) compliments of the chef, as well as some nice little dessert bites from the pastry chef. Loved it!

A:
By no means the best Mediterranean food I've had, but definitely not the worst. It was actually very good and the only thing that I think could use some work is the hummus, which I found to be rather flat. I tried the Di Vita Salad and was surprised by the overall size of it, by the ample quantity of nicely grilled chicken that topped it, and the overall quality of the produce, especially the green beans and artichoke hearts. My son had a kids meal. He enjoyed the grilled chicken (nice to not see fried chicken strips on a kids menu for once), but eschewed the side salad and hummus. This didn't surprise me a bit, though. I'm looking forward to my next trip to Pita di Vita.
