Twenty-Five Forty (Old town): Restaurant Revisit Review

Went to Twenty-Five Forty recently with SuperBoy (it was supposed to be a date but the babysitter couldn't come).

Quick report:
--Service a little slow to start as usual, but they're working hard to make the good food

--Bread basket: just as delicious if not more than usual; SB's eyes lit up when he tasted the corn bread mini-muffins and he kept taking more bread

--Zucchini soup: blander than the soups I've had there before, but ok

--Side salad: not as good as I remembered, ok. 

--Eggplant parmesan ravioli (minus bacon): SO GOOD. They make the best fresh pasta here. Sauce was delicious too. Not a huge portion, but would get again.

--CH got rigatoni and enjoyed it a lot. He also got bratwurst with fresh sauerkraut and he seemed to like that too

--SB's grilled cheese sandwich: a good buy for $10 (since it's not only for kids). He got cheddar only. Was grilled on a delicious baguette/panini roll, with good cheddar; fresh steakhouse fries on the side; and some spring mix.

--Shoyu cosmo. Very tasty. Couldn't tell the difference between that and a real vodka cosmo.

So a couple of missteps tonight, whereas I never had anything less than superlative here before. But we would still come again.

Sprinkles (La Jolla)

Tried Sprinkles one other time, wasn't that excited about the flavors CH brought.

Today, Super Boy and I tried the following ccs:
--Chocolate marshmellow for him
--Coconut for me

My coconut: super-delicious vanilla cake, fabulous coconut cream cheese frosting

His chocolate marshmellow: very tasty dark chocolate ganache (not fluffy but smooth), with a tasty dark chocolate cupcake and a marshmellow filling down the middle

He loved his - I liked it but wouldn't choose it as my own. I'd love to try more (mmmm....had to bypass the peanut butter chip), but would certainly love to have the coconut again.
