aXcan Grill - Forest Park

Very average restaurant, probably not going back. they can easily find better food for the same price somewhere else.

The good: eating was delicious with decent value for the money, the service was ok. not super attentive to the water fillings, but friendly enough. the bad: dirty menus, teller left on tables as part of the table in an outdoor dining area were dusty and not clean. the table was not clean. the ugly: the outdoor dining area is beautiful, but it is completely ruined by a cigar lounge two filials in the west. they have floor-length open windows in the cigar lounge and when we first sat the cigar smell was very weak, no problem. but as the evening progressed, the cigar smoke increased to an unbearable level. really offensive and unbelievable that this cigarlounge gets the other companies to dirty on this wise. the restaurant must install some exhaust fans or perhaps the village to force the cigar lounge to close the windows. the food was good enough to go back, but perhaps inside the seats would be best to avoid the cigar pollution.

The service was very fast and helpful, although not intrusive. we had a sampler dish, a wonderful creamy potato and pure spinate, and garnelen tacos. the tacos were excellent, but we noticed a similarity to the 4 appetizers and the tacos, all fried with little flavor differentiation, with taking the garnels themselves. the cadillac margarita was one of the best I ever had. will return happily, but will try to stretch the taste area between the curses a bit more.

Last minute day dinner with the children. the food was good (beautiful options for children like a Mexican burger, chicken catches, queensadillas, etc., the margaritas were fresh, and the service was good. we sat on the front terrace opposite the madison street and it was not too loud that we enjoyed the fresh air. we order the delivery from here much and already knew that we liked the tacos and enchiladas. my man had the cochinita pibil (his fave and said it was good. I will have to eat next time (but I wait for the winter! .

Made a reservation on Sunday for Brunch. Ricky greeted us as the first customers to arrive. The service was great. The food was so good. Not your typical brunch dishes and we loved them. Can't wait to come back and try the tacos and margaritas. If the rest of the menu is as good as the brunch, we will be making a lot more trips to Axcan!
