Problem: Ok so here's the deal....I really think how much you like this place depends on exactly what you are expecting. I was expecting a sit down restaurant and I really don't think that is what it is. So I was all about bitching at first, but then one of the friends we were with pointed out that its more of a wine bar with awesome snacks, so I changed my bad attitude and turned my frown upside down and loved it! Best part is, it was totally reasonable. I love reasonable! Ok, so here's the breakdown. We walked in and it was empty (Saturday night, 8:30pm, got there early to eat before Tosh's show at the dodge). I couldn't tell if it was open from the outside and felt like a total idiot when we walked in, I for sure get what other people have said about it maybe being more of a locals place with a not real welcoming vibe. Also, we had 2 servers, the first one, not so great, second one (blonde girl with glasses) awesome! We all ordered beer, no orange slices for the Hefe, huh?? We got the cheese plate which was 2 hard cow cheeses and one soft, with almonds and figs and the most amazing warm salty sweet bread ever. SOOO good! We also got the greens with goat cheese, bacon wrapped figs, the grilled cheese with tomato soup, and a sandwich, not sure what it was called but I know there was prosciutto. The greens were simple, not a lot to say there, good goat cheese. The bacon wrapped figs were great, tasted like a sweet potato wrapped in crunchy bacon, really good. The sandwich I only had a bite of, it was good, thick bread, and lots and lots of meat and cheese. I would think it would be super filling. The best thing thing EVER was the grilled cheese and soup. The soup was seriously the best tomato soup I have ever had, they use different tomatos and it is seasoned so well and dipping the grilled cheese in it is pretty much perfect. Made me forget about not feeling so welcomed walking in, made me forget being all stresses over whether ot not the place was open, made me forget about the waitress forgetting out beers. Repeatedly. Hence, the 4 stars, I will go back again and again just for that. There was nothing on the table I wasn't dipping into that soup! And the total for all that yumminess and 2-3 beers each was $90, awesome right?? (there were 4 of us) So, dont go for the service, dont go to feel totally welcomed, and dont go early and expect to sit (theres like 3 tables or something ridiculous. BUT go! Go for that soup and grilled cheese. Totally worth it. Maybe I just need to start going alot so theyll like me and then I'll feel welcome too!!

Problem: I got the Caribbean Jerk Chicken Sandwich and it was pretty good. I liked how they wrapped it. The wait wasn't too bad and it's also open late- maybe even 24/7? Very casual place. :)

Problem: With the string of gorgeous weather recently, I found myself in dire need of a bike to cruise my daughter to the park with and a 29er to hit trail the plethora of desert trails with, and these guys delivered a SMOKING deal on two bikes last week. Thanks a million! In an attempt to avoid buying more cheap shit from China I wanted to buy a few USED bikes, however my craigslist karma cosmically sucks for some reason and I had such trouble locating good used bikes free from deceit and general douche-baggery. These guys are the real deal. Down to earth and straight forward. Great used bikes (and some new) at fair prices, and don't be afraid to haggle a little.

Problem: So much fun for Hawks games, but it's too hot and smokey to even enjoy the game. Food is good but the smoke makes you not want to eat.
