PX This presents THE F&F REVIEW

Hey, sorry we couldn’t make it to "Friends&Family," we were out of town/ had to work/ not invited. We’re really glad we finally managed to come by, though— it’s so nice to see you!
What’s that? You would still like us to take the time to fill out the F&F survey, because you’d love to take advantage of all our vast experience, knowledge, insight, and expertise as long as we’re already here? Because you invited 75 people to F&F, and afterward all you got was 41 "Congrats[es]!" 22 "Awesome[s]!" 3 "Ciao[s]!" and 9 "Best of luck[s]!" ?
Of course, we’d be honored. Oh ha, yesss, we’ll be honest— brutally honest even, ha ha! After all, that’s what friends & family are for!
No no please, don’t send anything more, we’re stuffed, we can’t breathe, you’ll have to roll us out of here, ha ha ha… !

Bareburger Organic

What was your first impression?
I always liked this space. Great outdoor terrace…

Please rate the Bar:
N/A. Dinng room seating only.

Please rate the drinks/ cocktails/ wine:
Cocktails are N/A; beer and wine only, albeit "… all organic." Priced pretty well overall. I opted for a beer "on the lighter side" suggested by the waitress, and— not bad at all.

Please rate the Dining Room:
Fine. A little bright for my taste, but OK. Comfortable enough, simple but sort of creative. The spoon chandeliers are amusing.
And the whole bit with the "recycled tin" and quick-grow "bamboo whose stalk is left intact during harvest" is impressive. Too bad the energy-efficient flourescents cast a somewhat ugly "glow."

Please rate the BOH:
Very good. OMG, a restaurant whose primary intent is to give the customer what they want and make the food taste good? What a concept!

How was the staff?
Better than you might expect. These girls are cute. And I mean like, almost-Indochine-cute! At this earnings-potential price-point, where did they find them?!
Friendly, proficient, and knowledgeable too. (Also: nice uniforms.)

What did you eat?/ How was the food?
Jalapeno Express (with Beef, on a Wheat wrap) : Delicious. Hearty but light.
Western Bacon Bareburger (with Beef, on a Brioche) : Oh man, I’m sold. And oddly enough, after scarfing down this monster, I feel full, but not sluggish or torpid.
Cranberry Blue Baby Spinach Salad : OK seriously, this is one of the best salads I’ve had out in a long while. Why is it so hard to get a decent salad? Lookee here, it’s not hard: Make it fresh and vibrant, and don’t mess with the ingredients too much. And make sure the dressing doesn’t suck. How come so many places have such a hard time with this?

What did you like?
All of it.

What did you dislike?
Well, the ambience is just kind of meh.

What was your last impression?
They deliver! Oh boy! :)

Would you come back?
Sure— when, for some reason, I’m not simply having you deliver…

Thank you, and hope to see you soon!
Thank you, it was a pleasure. Best of luck to you.
