Oh, the fine line between wanting a whole lot of people to visit an awesome restaurant so it stays in business and wanting to keep a hidden gem to yourself so you can actually get a seat when you go!  Chef Luca has done it again.  The fella and I are big fans of Passion8, and when we heard he was opening another restaurant, we had to go.  \n\nThe hotel itself is old and undergoing a renovation (the parking lot was being repaved while we were there), and there were a few unsavory characters lurking about, but the restaurant is so worth looking past all that.  The ambiance is a little lacking, but they've done the best they can with what they have.  Booths are little close together and most tables seemed to be small two-tops, but the restaurant itself is spacious, and we got an \"ocean view\" according to the hostess, when she seated us next to the window overlooking the pool.  Ha!\n\nOur waitress was so nice and engaging and friendly, I can't say enough good things about her.  And all around us, other waiters/waitresses were chatting with their customers and talking about how the restaurant came to be, what's coming up, thanking them for coming, etc.\n\nOnto the food!  I went the healthy route and got a grilled chicken sandwich with a side of broccoli, the veggie of the day.  The bun was buttery and crispy on the edges, which I love, and the broccoli had some garlic on top.  It was all delicious.  Although the Hot Mess Burger looked awesome, the fella built his own and got extra American cheese and a fried egg.  He said the egg was cooked perfectly - not runny, not too fried - and the burger rivaled some of the better ones he's ever had.  He asked for it medium rare, and it was a little closer to medium, but no biggie.  We also got a glass of Pinot Grigio (their wine delivery hadn't happened as planned, so they only had one type) and a glass of bourbon. \n\nAnd now for the best part... all that came to less than $34.  What??  They really could (and should) charge sooo much more for the quality of food they're serving, but I'll take the low prices!  \n\nAt the end of the meal, Chef Luca came out to say thanks, and when we told him we were interested in trying their breakfast, he emailed me their breakfast menu directly.  Swoon.  :-)  I can't wait to go back for breakfast... and lunch... and dinner again... mmmm.
