I wish the food was better, since it's kinda a nice place to go and sit outside and have a beer. I've given it plenty of tries, but always just wish it was better. Had the pulled pork sandwich once - not very good at all. Have had their pizza's more than once and they're okay. If its one of their half price nights its a good deal. Had the cheese plate once - okay.

Really in a great location, walkable part of town, has a patio. Has all that going for it, but the foods just - okay.

Another pleasant spring morning, afternoon, whatever, if I don't feel like getting out of bed before 11 on a Saturday, so what?

There's parking right outside. The liquor store has temporary 15 minute parking signs outside. Whatever, not like they make the bylaws in this city.

There's a large patio and we tie up the Tosa Inu to the fence. The staff love her and she's taking up the scratches with aplomb.

It was sort of a late night, we we're sticking with waters - tap, naturally.

I start with the chicken soup. I'll have to say, it's delicious, with a salty but not overpowering start followed with a punch of cilantro and ginger and finishing with a hint of garlic. I'm into it.

I need a strange sensory stimulation. I want to order off the savory menu, but it's not until later. Instead, I order a buffalo chicken sandwich, yeah, with fries - I am out of control. She goes for the portabello sandwich.

It's really a great setting. Shade, light breeze, friendly staff and patrons. It feeds right into Dallas' New York inferiority complex!

Anyway, the fries are fine. They're dusted with coarse salt, which helps. The sandwich is pretty much breaded chicken with sweet chili sauce. I know, you're thinking, hey, it's just a buffalo chicken sandwich. Look, I wanted to have the sandwich kick my face. This sandwich stopped by, said hi and kept on going.

The portabello sandwich is disappointingly tasteless. I think portabello should be the steak of fungus, but this sandwich was about as robust as the Easter Bunny. The pesto was also tasteless and the vinagrette on the salad had no punch whatsoever.

I really wish the food had been better. I enjoyed my time watching the America's cup with good company. Realistically, we'll be back with expectations and I hope they pull it that time. See you then.

Right off the McKinney Ave craziness, this place has the perfect mix of great food and fun vibe. Please don't go on Mondays -- 1/2 price pizza night - it's already getting too crowded.
