I wanted to try this new Restaurant that opened somewhere in Metro Phoenix about three months back. They currently (October 2018) have a 4.5 star average on a popular review site called Yelp…..I thought they might be pretty good. I thought after being open about three months most of the bugs might be worked out. I didn’t mention the name of this restaurant because it’s not in my interest to put them in a poor light since they are a new business.
Between me and my husband we tried three of the four meatballs they have on the menu and two of the eight sauces they offer.
Here are Vegan Meatballs made with Cauliflower, Mushrooms HARD Carrots, White Beans, Brown Rice, Panko, Herbs and Spices. The Vegan Balls are very mushy and are studded with Crunchy Carrots.

The Marinara Sauce is one note, acidic and very bitter and also studded with crunchy carrots.

Up above is undressed Penne Pasta topped with Bolognese, two Beef and one Spicy Pork Meatballs. There isn’t Parmesan or Romano to top the pasta. Pretty much everything is one note or flat and both meatballs are dry.
I think most people know that pasta should be lightly dressed like in the picture below.

On the bright side I noticed that beer is very inexpensive here. They had some sort of beer special where the beers were priced at something like FOUR Beers for $8.00.
This restaurant in October 2018 has a 4.5 star average on Yelp. I also noticed that this particular restaurant is a paid Yelp Advertiser. I can’t say if that has anything to do with anything….because there IS a disclaimer posted on Yelp that advertisers with Yelp don’t get any special treatment.
After Four Beers maybe it just doesn’t matter what the food taste like?
****UPDATE since CLOSED for business
