...Is in the Eye of the Beholder

We finally went to CiCi's!!! Jay can quit dropping them into the hat every day of the week.

Well, there wasn't much said at the table as far as opinions go, so I'm coming into this pretty unbiased from the outside. You guys might know me by now, and some might not. Most would think I would be over-critical and nit-pick every little flaw in the place. You guys are wrong. I went into the fine eating establishment with the purpose to divide and conquer. Pizza, salad, breadsticks, dessert, $3.99. You don't go to Fazoli's looking for Bocci's lasagna, or even Benito's delicious Italian Lasagna. I didn't go in there expecting lobster.

I went in to mass consume pizza and salad. Bottom-line. The result, mediocre pizza that was delicious, salad (wasted space at a pizza buffet) which was lovely. It was cheap and I enjoyed myself. It's not the same crowd you will run into at Brixx, but it's the people on vacation that want a quick, cheap relief from the beach, or those moms with multiple kids who just need a break from cooking lunch for the rugrats. All-in-all, it was what I expected, and I am all about setting expectations to be met or surpassed. I wasn't surprised or let down. So... happy guy for a $4 lunch.

Time: I was ready after about 9 minutes. I was focused.
Price: $4... love it...
Atmosphere: what you would expect
Facilities: being renovated, not bad. No tile in bathroom just scored concrete
Highs: umm... not sure, maybe being the only person to know they keep marinara in hot plates behind the counter.
Lows: not seeing fresh brownies the whole trip.
Advice: For a cheap lunch, it's good. Lower your expectations, and you won't be disappointed... (there's a saying for you!)
