Well folks, I thought I would do something a little different and put my review of the food I've eaten at the Arts Festival so far. With all the hype on Tom & Jerry's being at the Arts Festival this year, as well as my past personal delight with their food, I thought I would give it a shot. I had the Beef Empanada and the Espresso Chocolate Mousse with berries. The beef empanada ($4.50) was fair at best. Something I'd expect to order from Taco Bueno for $1.29. The salsa accompaning it was your average .99 cent jar of salsa at Wal-Mart. I liked the idea of the chocolatte mousse ($4.00), but again it failed my expectations. The mousse was lumpy, a common occurance in creating this delicate treat. The flavor was okay however I could not taste any espresso in it. I don't recommend trying these overpriced items, however I highly recommend eating at the restaurant. It is a little on the high end but the food and service is impeccable to say the least. And they are also one of the metro's few tapas bars. Booth at the festival I give a 5 out of 10, the restaurant an 11 out of 10.

Please feel free to post your food experiences at the festival, and if your not doing anything tonight, come to the Festi-Friday party. Admission is $5 and includes heavy hors d' voures from the metro's top restaurants.
