| - I came here with my boyfriend for a date night. We had a really nice time!
Good: atmosphere- it is cozy and comfortable. It feels like you are walking into someone's house. Service- very friendly. Shake- we shared the "chocolate milkshake" made with almond milk and avocado- super yummy!
To start we ordered the Nacho platter. It was good-fresh and not too heavy.
For our mains my boyfriend ordered the Pad Thai and I ordered the special- a vegan "meatloaf" with BBQ sauce. I felt that the Pad Thai, while looking beautiful, lacked the flavour punch that I was expecting ( I was envisioning more of the "tangled Thai" salad from Fresh, which is so tasty). We were arguing about who should order it at first ,since we both wanted to, but I wanted to sample as much as I could, so instead opted for the special and I was glad that I did. As for the meatloaf, it was tasty (mostly due to the BBQ sauce), but I was surprised to see that my plate was 75% salad. Luckily, the salad was delicious (the ginger-date dressing is awesome) so I was happy.
For dessert, we had the brownie and the raspberry cheesecake. The brownie was the winner hands down- it had a coconut vanilla frosting that was rich and creamy. The cheesecake however was pretty disappointing and bland (they have an awesome vegan raw raspberry cheesecake at The Beet down the street that I am partial to I suppose).
Overall, I like the feeling of this place. It is pricey however, which I am fine with, due to the high quality of ingredients, but the food itself was hit and miss. Perhaps by patronizing Rawlicious a few times we can figure out what the clear winners are stick to those- that way when the bill comes it won't hurt as much.
