text: Finally, number 300!!!  I better make this good.  I could not have been more excited to come to this place after coming home from a summer long trip in Washington.  Since we weren't footing the bill, we went all out and pretty much tried everything that sounded good to us.  \n\nOur server was sweet as can be and she was quite helpful.  When we asked what she would pick between two drinks, she didn't give the usual crap line \"oh well, it depends on what mood you're in\" and she told us exactly which one she liked best.  That made our decision for drinks the Watermelon Agua.  It was ridiculously tasty and refreshing.  \n\nFor an appetizer we ordered the Eggplant Bruschetta, and unfortunately I can't quite remember the name of it.  In any event, I have never tried eggplant before and I was feeling adventurous.  I was certainly glad I did because the sweet and sour eggplant combined with the herbed ricotta spread and slightly charred bread made for an absolutely delicious and perfect sized appetizer for 3.\n\nWe decided it would be best to split 2 of the 12 inch pizzas so we would have some leftovers.  We chose the Yukon Potato pizza (gorgonzola, leeks, yukon gold potatoes) and the Pepperoni pizza (um, pepperoni, basil, and red sauce).  Both pizzas were absolutely delicious!  The crust was thin underneath, but at the ends it was nice and substantial and great to eat on its own.  The ingredients on both pizzas were of exceptional quality and tasted great.\n\nFor dessert we went with the special of the day which was an Italian Lemon Pudding dessert served with a ginger cookie.  The pudding was very heavy, almost custard like, but it had the smoothness of regular pudding.  The flavor was intensely lemon and it tasted delicious with the ginger cookie dipped in.  I would recommend this dessert be shared as the flavor is very strong and best shared with another person.\n\nOverall, I was immensely happy with this place.  The interior was cool and modern without being overt.  I loved how their \"centerpiece\" of the southern wall was carried out as a theme.  The take-out box had that motif as well as the border of their menus.  Possibly my favorite part of my visit was when we left and were admiring their garden.  The chef came out to grab some eggplant to use and we had a lovely chat with him and before we left he even offered a garden-fresh eggplant.  That was awesome.\n\nI would recommend this place to anyone and everyone.  I am so glad that we have this awesome new joint in a location I often find myself wandering.  Woohoo!
