The Quick Fixx

After going to this restaurant once, I declare The Quick Fixx (1511 South Street) a gem. The establishment was cute and small with about 3-4 tables inside and about 4 tables set up outside.  While I was there, I experienced excellent customer service and excellent food. Since it was my first time there, I was not familiar with how things work at the restaurant. It was actually more a self serve place. One of the employees kindly came up to me and asked if I needed help when I sat down to wait for my friend. While I was telling her I was waiting for a friend, she explained to me how to order and she also bought me a pitcher of water and 2 plastic cups. Once my friend came, I explained to her we had to order and pay up front and then they bring us the food. This place was kind of unique in that you can customize your own pasta or flatbread but of course, you can order from a set menu too.

Fun Guy Flatbread
When my friend's pasta came out, the server apologized to me and told me that she accidentally dropped my flatbread on the floor. They were going to make me a new one. I was grateful for her honesty and also thankfully they are making me a new flatbread instead of giving me the one that dropped on the floor. I got the Fun Guy Flatbread (truffled Kennett Square mushrooms, rosemary dough, fontina, and baby arugula). It came out on a fancy wooden board. The flatbread was delicious and tasted better than I thought it was going to be. Everything on the flatbread went so well together. The bitterness of the arugula complemented the cheese and tender mushrooms. The flatbread itself was thin and somewhat crispy. My friend also enjoyed her pasta alot. We both completely devour our plates. After we ate, the server took our plates and told us that we can stay as long as we want which I very kind gesture.

Tiramisu Frozen
Tiramisu Melted
Since we still engaged in our conversation, we decided to stay longer and get dessert. To the right of the register, on the counter is a small freezer with a glass door. Inside the freezer were assorted homemade dessert cakes (red velvet, tiramisu, etc.) wrapped in saran wrap. We went for the tiramisu. After paying the cashier got us a plate and two plastic spoons. I find it interesting that they froze their dessert. Maybe it is to preserve them longer. Needless to say it was hard to eat the cake when it was frozen. After some time, the cake did melt a little and became easier to eat. I thought the tiramisu was some what creamy and good. It wasn't overly sweet and tasted more like eggy vanilla cake than tiramisu. I still liked it though.

I would love to come back to this place and try everything....other veggie options on the set menu, customized flatbread and pasta, salads, appetizer, brunch, and other desserts. Besides having great customer and great food, another plus side is the food were very reasonable priced.
