OK. I have to admit I was a little nervous when I went inside and saw the bad faux paint on the walls, not to mention the tacky pseudo-Italian Kirkland’s wall decorations. My apprehension was compounded further when the waitress said they were out of burgers. How does a place that specializes in burgers and sandwiches for lunch run out of burgers? With none of their many burger choices available, I went for the Blackened Mahi sandwich with Cajun aioli. WOW, I’m glad they were out of burgers. I overheard the Chef say to the waitress when he handed the plate to her thru the pass-thru, “Now that’s a good looking sandwich”. He was right, it was nice looking. A nice thick piece of mahi, with lettuce, tomato and the aioli all on grilled bread, cut across the grain. My spirits were lifted further when I took that first bite. The spice, the moistness of the fish and the aioli blend to make a great first impression on your tongue. As you continue to eat the sandwich, the heat builds and in my case started to clear out my sinus. Not overwhelming heat, but a nice amount. At $14.95 it might be a bit pricy for some, but I found it worth the money.
