| - Absolutely terrible experience, and very sad because I really wanted another veg/vegan option in the area.
Things were off to a rocky start from the get go. The first three items I'd asked for weren't available, 7PM on a Saturday night. No big deal. We ended up ordering a sandwich and a bowl.
The restaurant is fairly busy and smells good, great, we're excited. However 40 minutes after we'd placed our order a table walks out because they haven't received their food and its been awhile (how long I didn't hear). My wife is concerned. Oh well, we've been here for 40 minutes, we can wait it out.
An hour in we're getting ansy and I begin to watch the food being prepared. There is a girl cutting peppers into her hand, i.e. holding the vegetable in her palm with the knife facing her and cutting. This is beyond being a 'trained' cook/chef and goes to just basic knife skills.
Shortly after that our food arrives, they've run out of cutlery so we get dessert forks (sorta goes with the flow of the evening I guess). My wife overhears the other chef tell the woman who brings the food that they ran out of guac, tell the customer. Unfortunately that was sort of one of the key flavours/draws of my wifes dish. The waitress doesn't tell us. My sandwich was ok, it felt like it was missing something flavour-wise (I couldn't taste the fake bacony bits, they may have been missing). My side 'waffle' was a little burnt which detracted from it, but it was definitely the highlight. My wife's bowl was really a lot of quinoa and not a lot of flavour. B.Good in Oakville makes a dish almost identical to her bowl, in 5 minutes, and is muuuch better spiced (also they don't just run out of guac and not say anything ahead of time...)
The fruit smoothies were nice flavour combinations, but they were just frozen fruit. For $9 each I really would have hoped for better..
All and all, the two dishes and two smoothies were $55 + tip. Pretty steep for the food quality, regardless of the wait. We tipped and left, never to return again. I really REALLY wanted to like this place. The combinations are all things I really enjoy, but the executed product doesn't taste great. As mentioned earlier, B.Good in Oakville does similar quinoa bowls (and can make them veg/vegan) and they're much better spiced.
Sorry Vegebitez, definitely not a great night out. An apology for the wait, mentioning or apologizing for the missed ingredients, might have made me want to try again.
