September 9, 2014-Solo

This dinner was special, it was for our year and a half anniversary!

What I ordered: 
Appetizer: Meatballs
Entree: Rigatoni in Marinara
Drink: Pepsi

Appetizer: 4.7/5
I'm used to eating meatballs as a part of my entree but these meatballs were amazing! They were in a lovely marinara sauce and they were falling apart! The way they tasted, them falling apart seemed to fit right it; it didn't really bother me.

Entree: 4.7/5
My rigatoni was great! They were a little on the under-done side because they kept falling apart when I tried to pick them up but it wasn't too bad! The taste of the whole dish made up for it and then some!

Drinks: 4.7/5
You really can never go wrong with Pepsi!

Restaurant Environment: 4.2/5
It was nice enough outside so that we were able to sit outside, which in the area the restaurant is in beautiful. It's right in the middle of the financial district on Camelback and the plaza it's in is very nice! Since it was later at night the plaza was empty!

Staff: 4.6/5
Solo is a family owned and operated business, which is wonderful to me! I love family owned restaurants. There is something about a family running a restaurant together that makes the staff seem so much more friendly. They were very nice and didn't forget us outside!

Speed of Service: 4.8/5
The speed of service was great! It seemed like they made it flow with the appetizer and entree so we weren't just sitting around doing nothing. They were very prompt with bringing out the food and taking the dishes away bringing us the check. It was very professional.

Overall: 4.65/5
Pre-Tip Cost: $59.57

Value: $54.40

Update!

Hi everyone, Lauren here!

So this blog hasn't gone exactly as planned. We've gone to restaurants just have not been able to keep up with posting. Matt has two jobs and I had school (will be starting again) and the past months has been filled with holidays, cleaning and my other blog for me. There are so many drafts just waiting!

Hopefully we will be able to get this back up and running again. I still have all of the receipts and everything. I'm so sorry this has stalled.

Stay tuned, this will pick up soon, I promise!

Happy new year! Have a wonderful 2015!
