Went there as a foodie adventure with my wife after the Eclipse. The place was kind of busy, mostly outside but plenty of tables inside. We opted for a table just inside one of the open garage doors and ordered two cocktails. The drinks were good - not great. Very sweet and not strong. But for less than 10 each, fair enough.
We ordered the meatball app and a large pepperoni. Food came out at a good pace, not to fast but we didn't wait forever, either. The meatball app was good. Four meatballs in sauce. It's what you would expect - maybe a bit smaller than what I would have hoped, and for $14, was our least-favorite item. Well, until we get to dessert - more on that in a minute.
The pizza was very, very good. All the ingredients tasted top-notch and the pizza had the burn you want. One slice was maybe a bit north of done, but I ate it without any problems. We killed most of the pie.
We went to order dessert, and opted for cannoli's. Our server warned us at this point, she really could not recommend them, but we ordered one, nonetheless, as they are only $3 each. Yeah, she was right. It's a fried tube filled with whipping cream from a can. It's a very poor version. Don't order this.
The service was very good - almost a bit too much, like they were looking for positive feedback at every step. The ambiance was "ok", I guess. I'm not sure what they are going for. They are not building around "Fortunate Son", the song, it's more like Austin funky but the "lite" version for old (new!) Garland. But overall, it's fine. The outdoor eating area looks very enjoyable. There's lots of bar seating as well, and long stand-alone bars. Then a few tables and booths. Lots of different seating options to choose from.
Holding back 1 star because we were not "blown away" enough to award 5 stars. Again, it's very good, a decent but not amazing value for money, and the service was good. The final judgement of a place is "Well, would we go back?" and the answer is "yes". Next time, sticking to the main pizza's vs. the apps.
