  • I feel that "Nourish" is an apt name for this cozy little restaurant. I remember walking out of there after our meal feeling well-fed but not stuffed and achy. The very next day my body was detoxing, it was lovely! The concept behind Nourish is a simple, yet complex one. The owner opened this restaurant due to her own food allergies and challenges eating out. The result is a colorful menu of highly nutritious foods ranging from gluten free to lactose free to egg free - just to name a few. Getting to the eatery was easy, as free valet parking was offered virtually right outside the restaurant. However, underground parking was also available. It appeared that there was one server, and a bartender who served dual purposes in bringing out the food and manning the register as well. Despite the small size of the restaurant, I was surprised at the small amount of staff present - we certainly had to wait a while until anyone came to the table just to take a drink order. I finally had to get up and approach our server. Staffing issues aside, I really love this menu! Being the kind of person that does not count calories or seeks out healthy alternatives to my dining habits, I was pleasantly surprised. I started with the "Sacred garden iced tea" with white tea, lavender, skullcap, spearmint, and tulsi. According to the menu, this blend is specifically designed to sharpen the mind and promote relaxation. It was served on the rocks, with free refills, and I ordered it with simple syrup - making it complex and sweet and very refreshing! Not to mention relaxing... My partner ordered the "Summer Breeze" with sencha green tea, orange peel, hibiscus, fresh ginger, and peppermint. This said is said to help with digestion, ease tension, and boost immunity. I love that there are unique non-alcoholic options, especially that we can take home our favorite tea blends in a tin (retail purchase option). There are some very unique cocktails offered here as well - such as the Organic Mojito or the Rootbeer Float Martini made with Nourish-made Vanilla infused organic vodka, oogave organic rootbeer, and coconut milk. The wines and beers are either organic, local, gluten-free, or eco-friendly. To get a good sense of the place, we started with the Tapas plate. For $13.50 and a choice of four items, we felt it was a great value. Our selections were Roasted root veggies (sweet potatoes, parsnips, and beets roasted with thyme, salt and pepper), Sweet potato and avocado salad with their divine Asian salad dressing, Roasted spaghetti squash with marjoram, sage, salt, and pepper and olive oil, and air fried sweet potato fries served with apricot chipotle dipping sauce. My partner loves root vegetables, and they were prepared in much the same fashion as he makes them at home. We loved our choices. For us, it was a lot like healthy comfort food. The vegetables were seasoned well, the sweet potatoes wonderfully crispy, the sweet potato and avocado salad incredibly delicious! It came with black beans, and the Asian dressing on the salad gave it a seasoned sweetness. I was also impressed with the generous portions of avocado, knowing that the average cost of an avocado right now is about $1.50. The majority of the menu items are salads and sandwhiches. There are meatless options such as the "Nourish Sweet Teriyaki Burger" a Chickpea and sweet potato burger mixed with almonds and topped with cucumbers and drizzled in a sweet teriyaki sauce. There are also meatier choices such as the Gourmet Beef Burger, which I feasted on. I enjoyed the corn fed burger, which was served on a gluten free bun. The beauty of this was that the bun never got soggy and held its own throughout the entire experience. The meat had a gorgeous charcoal-grilled flavor, and with the bacon and provolone add-ons I was extremely pleased with my selection. I have to make mention here of "Nourish's" incredible salad dressings. There are about a dozen choices, and all of them can be purchased and taken home. I ordered the Lemon-aioli dressing with my side salad and it was by far one of the most delicious dressings I have ever enjoyed on a salad. My partner had the Glazed Roasted 1/2 Chicken Dinner. It was a gorgeous marinated then roasted chicken glazed in Nourish-made apricot chipotle. Served with asparagus and roasted root veggies, it had a juicy and flavorful taste and its sides complemented the entree so well. There were many more options on the menu such as pizzas and quiches, as well as breakfast offerings. The menu itself has very educational information about the nature of the ingredients, as well as why it takes a bit longer for the food to come to the table. Why? The majority of the items on the menu are made to order and made fresh, to accommodate a variety of special food needs. In closing, "truly good food is worth the wait," and I felt that our food was definitely worth waiting for.
