Q: Call me a cab bitches! It's official! Postino Central is my absolute favorite day drinking spot. I'm in love with all things vino. Some of you know this intimately. (some of you meaning anyone who's ever read any of my reviews) More importantly, I love $5 wine by the glass. Mostly because it ensures that I'm a fairly cheap date, but also because I like to try new things, so even if I hate it...hey, it was only 5 bucks. The place isn't teaming with douchebags, which is fantastic. I think it's a prerequisite that you be easy on the eyes to work there...equally fantastic for both boys and girls, though it seems to be a predominately male crew...so, like I said... The atmosphere is solid. Bright, with an open airy feeling even if you aren't sitting on the patio. There is a Circle K conveniently located across the street, you know, in case you (or someone who shall remain nameless to protect his pretty dignity) are in dire need of a couple of Vitamin Waters and a gigantic box of Sugar Babies because it seems like a REALLY good idea after 3 pitchers of Odell's... until you start looking like a dog chewing peanut butter because you can't get them out of your teeth!!...Fuck!! There goes a filling.. but that's a story for another time. The food is quite tasty and I'm a huge fan of Bruschetta. My favorites including the Warm Artichoke, Roasted Peppers with Goat Cheese, Salami with Pesto and my all time favorite, Tomato Jam with fresh Sheeps Milk Cheese. It sounds a little suspect but I promise you won't regret it. I've enjoyed every Panini I've tried with favorites being Prosciutto with Brie and Autostrada (my soppresatta mistress continues to haunt me) *sigh* I was forced into sharing dessert once, it was some chocolate cake extravaganza that was insanely good, though I don't remember the name. Good wine, good tunes, great atmosphere and delicious food + excellent company and slurred speech = good times had by all! Cheers!

Q: This place has some issues to work out. Walking in the smell of sewage was overwhelming. Everyone I was with decided to just walk out and eat somewhere else. The smell was so bad it made my stomach feel sick. The employees opened the door and made waiving motions trying to get the stench out. Something that smells that bad needs more attention over a open door. The employees were laughing and seemed to find it funny. One of them also had a hat but no hair net and kept tugging at her hair and rubbing her nose.

Q: We were excited to Casablanca for date night, as we loved it when it was the Estate House. We arrived a bit early for our 7:30pm reservations and were led outside, past all of the cozy seats inside. I thought it odd we weren't asked for a preference. But wait--it got worse. We were also taken past all of the cozy couches outside facing the movie playing and seated at this strange area way in the back. Between our two chairs, which overlooked the street, we had a giant heater and small table (in May). So much for date night. (The light-up menus are totally cool, though the selection is small.) But wait--it still gets worse. Apparently our corner was the smoking area (!?), so they actually seated me, a severe asthmatic, in the middle of it. Thanks. We ordered a crab dip, the sliders and the tacos. While waiting, we did get our well-mixed drinks. But then our waiter totally disappeared. After 35 minutes a water guy apologized for our slow food service. After 45 minutes it finally appeared. The two pork dishes were ok--but served totally lukewarm. The tacos were beautifully plated; the limes even had perfect grill marks on them. But couldn't they put that much care into getting me my damn food in a timely manner? While it's still hot? We didn't care for the crab dip, but that could be a personal thing. The plantain chips were yummy. The final rub came with the service. Our waiter literally never came back after taking our order. When we decided we had enough, we actually went inside and stood at the empty bar and asked for our tab. Interestingly, no one thought that was odd. So there we go. Bad service, mediocre food. We won't be back.

Q: Not the best deli I've ever been to! The women at the front are kinda rude and aren't on top of their game when there's a rush. I ordered a sandwich and the 4 people who ordered AFTER me got their food before me. The sandwich ingredients were good quality, but it was literally slapped together so haphazardly that it was impossible to eat. I got one with turkey and salami on it, and half of the sandwich didn't have turkey and half didn't have salami. You could just tell it was put together so carelessly, it didn't make me feel good about spending $17. The toothpicks were stuck in sideways and defeated the purpose of having them there in the first place, and the side of fruit was dried out and gross. Like really, if you're going to only give me one strawberry among my "side of fruit", make sure its at least a good one. They have a wide variety of things to choose from, but the customer service, and the way they prepared their food left me just thinking "Meh. I've experienced better".
