Enjoy

One reason urbanites don’t visit the ‘burbs is the oft-quoted “there is no there there.” Except for the zoo, Apple Valley could be Anywheretown USA: rows of town houses flanked by rows of big homes on cul de sacs, with chain restaurants occupying every intersection. But Apple Valley folks aren’t as complacent as their surroundings might suggest. The proof: They’re packing Enjoy, a new, independent, and quite huge restaurant that opened in early July. Since then the wait, without reservations, has averaged forty-five minutes – but to avoid another Applebees “skillet sensation,” who’s counting? Our seared scallops were crusted with just enough seasoning to be delicious without overwhelming their delicate taste. A chopped salad featured perfectly grilled chicken set off nicely by crunchy wontons. And our burger was a tasty bargain at $6.95.
