Finally, we thought, another spot in Beaverton to add to the Mingo/Typhoon/HallStreet Trio standbys. Too bad our first visit was sooooo disappointing. On a Tuesday night they were out of most items we wanted to order and the steak entree - enticing at their menu price - had jumped to $28 with a cut-substition (it's Beaverton fer gawd sake!). After ordering 3 menu items that were not available, I gave the waiter carte blanche to bring any one of their 5 salads; disappointingly, he brought the caesar. Were they seriously out of their other 4, less boring options? Our appetizer pizza - mozzarella and tomatoes - lacked flavor. The pasta was underdone. The dessert should have been delicious but was instead the tail ends of dried out cake cake with too much whipped cream and not enough rasberries. I'd rather the waiter said they were out of one more thing than eat dry ends of cake!\r
I really hope the Decarli's pull through and make this spot a success. We walked in thinking what a great spot for a party and left disappointed and reluctant to return.
Pros: a decent idea in Beaverton
Cons: sadly, nearly everything
