Jay's Tapas Shuts Down

[Devany]

Carol. you should have called me! I have been there once and it was basically awful. The owner spent all her time talking to her friends. No fryer. Burgers were cold when they got to me and really nothing to shout about. VERY VERY slow service. I had a salad since there were no fries (fryer was out for over three weeks now!) and it was as limp as Mohamad Ali after being beaten in a fight, really bad. Tomato was as pale as the moon. WHY can' they go to the farmer's market and get good tomatoes? I went in for a quick lunch one day and it took 65 minutes, most of it waiting to be served & waiting for my bill. My tea glass was never filled in all of that time either.

Well, speaking of Cronies, my husband always orders their burgers. Never tries anything else and he loves them. I love their wings and nothing else I have ever tried there. At least they have great service at Cronies!

Carol the good news is that Jay is opening another place by the Palace. I hope he stays with tapas and expands his menu to a real tapas menu. It would be great!

Carol, you and I have a lunch date as soon as he opens!

Well, I've tried the new Hilo Burger Joint twice and I have to say I was not impressed. Both times the fryer was out of order, so no fries with the burger, just chips or salad, which they told me only AFTER my order was already in the kitchen. The menu was limited to maybe 12 different burgers, I've tried two different ones, the mushroom cheese burger and something else so unremarkable I can't remember what it was. Neither trip was satisfying, the burgers were tiny, dry, and cold, the tomatoes were anemic, the mushrooms were mostly stem, and without fries I left hungry both times. Plus my drink was really watery, how do you ruin a rum and coke?

I will stick with Cronies when I want a burger, the price is about the same, but the burger is bigger and better.
