re: The Italian Bowl in Downtown Prairieville

Went to this place a few weeks ago. Mixed experience.

I got the Eggplant Parmesan, which was very good for a traditional Italian dish. I enjoyed it. One of the better that I have had in the area. Also, the sensation salad that came with it was notably good and green. Definitely not one of those throwaway side salads that many restaurants give you.

My wife got the Ahi Tuna Salad, which was disappointing for her. The tuna was cooked fine and the dressing was up to par, but the mixed greens it was served on turned out to be primarily composed on iceberg lettuce. No good. She's an ahi tuna snob and this was affront to her taste and decency.

Other comments: The service was kind of clumsy. The decor and ambiance could use a little work. The beer list was shite, but that didn't shock me. I will definitely be back though to try their happy hour on Friday evening, which I believe is half off apps and beers and goes until 7 (which is key).

Overall, if your in the area, I'd recommend trying this place. The pricing is definitely a plus. I think our total bill was around $32 and we each had a drink. Not bad.
