For Kim’s birthday bash, I joined the family Klukan at Del’s. The restaurant itself is very nice and spacious. There was a sign saying where you could park for Del’s which included the small adjacent parking lot, a strip of asphalt across the road in a Super market parking lot, and somewhere else that didn’t seem close. In short, I wouldn’t drive here and expect to use their parking if I thought the place would be full.
The atmosphere seemed a little fancy, better then the brick walls of the Spaghetti Warehouse for instance, but not overly so. It is a nice clean place.
I ordered Eggplant Parmigiana with a side of whole wheat pasta and a salad. I’m not one to make issues with a pre dinner salad. I don’t mind iceberg lettuce and some carrots. These carrots were cooked though, that was odd. My main course though I had some issues. For one it was the consistency of mush. It was like the drained the eggplant only to have it suck all the juice out of the sauce. It wasn’t crisp, it was soggy. It tasted ok, but the texture was just off. My whole wheat pasta tasted like spaghetti O’s. I don’t blame the pasta for this, and I’m not saying its really terrible or anything. In fact I just ate my leftover pasta for dinner just before writing this. The sauce on the pasta was just bland, much like spaghetti O’s. I read what I’ve written here, and I feel I am making it seem I hated the place. I didn’t hate it. I liked it, I think I just had high expectations. I am completely willing to go back again and give it another try.
