After hearing that this was the first place meant for the millennial/Gen Y group, we had to try it. A kind of funky looking skateboard decor and a server who was mostly busy chatting with other staff didn't start things off great, but, hey,it's new. Menu is kind of girly, "tween" with X'es and O's and kisses. The real shocker was the prices. Maybe this is what she charges in SF, but for a casual meal, it went way over $100. Had a burger-OK, but not fabulous, but definitely drippy-$12 bucks and the spagetti and meat balls, which were huge and kind of dry and that was $12 or $13 dollars. Tried one of their cocktails each before we sat down ($9 per!)Had a side of veggies, another $9. Wine with dinner was really expensive and not much to choose from. Server suggested a Homewood wine, which was heavy and not very interesting and was $30 bucks. we split a dessert which was pretty good. But we can find a lot better meals at those prices. Too bad, could be fun to hang out, but don't have the dough to do it.

On the one hand I applaud Emmy for having the moxie to open up another spaghetti joint in a small town already dominated by Mary's. On the other hand, even if your aiming to draw upon the social crowd who spend on drinks, the food still needs to be the draw and be at least comparable, if not better, than the competition. This food is so mediocre that it is a bit insulting; dry, stale foccacia, uninspired spaghetti and balls, stringent lemonade, all with prices that demand better cooking skills. It is strange how Jeff's experience could be so at odds with the many customer reviews on Yelp. Let's hope the owner takes all this input to heart and reinvents her menu and prices for the hometown audience.
