Tue Nov 16 09:44:50 -0800 2004 0 Nancy 1 1150333 While first disclosing that I know one of the principals, I will say that some good plates of have been had here. The pizzas are as good as they were when it was Risa, and they have added some new ones - Gruyere with Frissee and a soft egg. The Mac & Cheese is outstanding, the Burger a different take than the straight up American Style with Lettuce and Tomato, and some had tasty Ribs with Peach-Habanero Glaze. They are all super friendly and you will enjoy yourself. Tue Nov 16 18:52:33 -0800 2004 1150191 0 EV Andrew 1 1150987 A belated reply to this Q, but just had our first meal here this evening. Very sweet staff, the broiled chicken and the mac and cheese were fine, but this place is *really* noisy. Probably best not to go at 7 on Friday night right before the holidays. This place has quite the raucous post-work bar scene. The bar was packed, but only 3 or 4 tables in back were occupied. I'm sure this will change. We were given dessert gratis because of the slightly flaky service, so no complaints overall. But we'll probably order in next time. Fri Dec 17 21:05:38 -0800 2004 1150191 0 mary c.
