A promising ambiance, disappointing food
Beau's Pizza and Pasta的点评
点评:Beaus has a convenient location downtown Cle Elum with ample parking. Decorations are very suitable for a casual lunch or dinner. Many people have reservations but we were immediately seated despite arriving at 5pm on a Saturday. You can be seated by a window. Service is fine. Up to that point everything looks very promising. Then comes the food…
We had spaghetti and meatballs and a margherita pizza with garden and Caesar salads. Garden salad was decent, the ceasar was very good (you have to ask for anchovies, and they only come very salty from a can; nonetheless we were surprised they actually had anchovies).
Their margherita pizza was not good, plain and simple. No red sauce, the balsamic reduction is drowning everything else and is caramelized on the dough. It has an awkward “sweetish” strawberry flavor which does not go well with the rest. It was difficult to tell whether the mozzarella was fresh or from a bag. The pizza dough was chewy, sweetish and raw dough like, more of a roll dough than your typical Italian pizza dough. We would call this pizza “caprese” not margherita. This pizza was just not good.
Spaghetti was swimming in red tinged water. Meatballs were falling apart a bit and vaguely undistinguished. The whole dish was a bit bland.
Maybe we will be more in luck next time. We still enjoyed our time, though the prices charged did not support the culinary experience.
翻译:Beaus 位于 Cle Elum 市中心,位置便利,停车位充足。餐厅的装饰非常适合休闲午餐或晚餐。很多人都有预订,但我们周六下午 5 点才到,就立刻入座了。您可以坐在窗边。服务很好。到目前为止,一切看起来都很有希望。接下来是食物……
我们吃了意大利面和肉丸,还有玛格丽特披萨,配上花园沙拉和凯撒沙拉。花园沙拉不错,凯撒沙拉很好吃(您必须要凤尾鱼,而且罐装的凤尾鱼非常咸;尽管如此,我们还是很惊讶他们居然有凤尾鱼)。
他们的玛格丽特披萨并不好吃,就是这么简单。没有红酱,香醋汁淹没了其他所有东西,并在面团上焦糖化。它有一种尴尬的“甜味”草莓味,与其他食物不相配。很难分辨马苏里拉奶酪是新鲜的还是袋装的。披萨面团有嚼劲,有点甜,像生面团,更像卷状面团,而不是典型的意大利披萨面团。我们会称这种披萨为“卡普雷塞”而不是玛格丽特。这个披萨不好吃。
意大利面条泡在红色的水中。肉丸有点散了,而且很难辨认。整道菜有点淡而无味。
也许下次我们会更幸运。我们仍然很享受这次时光,尽管收取的价格不足以支撑这次烹饪体验。
