| - It's places like this that really, really make a city liveable. Having innovative, delicious restaurants in areas contribute to the health and vitality of a neighborhood and this one surely must lead the pack. It doesn't hurt that it's a farm-to-table restaurant either.
Went in to a beautiful restaurant, dark and gorgeous and really fascinating art hanging everywhere. I was captivated.
Greeted by this really strange girl (sorry, it's the only descriptor I can think of). She seemed almost repulsed by me. It's probably the worst greeting I've ever gotten by someone in a restaurant. Anyway, sat down in the bar area in a nice booth and checked out the delicious menu.
Yelp says it's vegetarian, but it doesn't identify that way. I'm glad Yelp did, though, because that's what drew me in. By the way, the menu DOES have vegetarian items that are worth checking out, and enough of them to keep me and every other vegetarian really happy.
I decided on the tempura battered green beans with a pineapple caramel dipping sauce (they also had a ponzu sauce that didn't like; it was too much salt for me). I also chose the warm 'egg salad.' That's how they have it on the menu. It was called a gruyere-chive soft scramble on an olive oil toasted multi-grain bread and served with a side salad.
This was a lot of food for one person. It may have been really suitable for two. I did not care. I ate it all and I loved it.
The green beans were crispy and just-the-right-salty. The sweetness of the dipping sauce really gave this dish a beautiful balance that just really engaged my taste buds. Mmmm, mmmm good.
But, the best, very best part of this meal were eggs. You don't have to listen to anything I say, but this: you will never, ever, as long as you live, ever taste eggs like this. I can't even describe them except to say that you have to try them. Words could never do them justice.
The side salad was one of the best I've ever had as well. If all salads tasted like this I'd probably eat a lot more of them. They have these down to an art.
Now to service: the first girl was horrendous, but then had a really great dark haired guy that was awesome and a blonde waiter that was okay. I had to ask for stuff, he seemed a little oblivious, but it was okay.
I went to the bar to ask for a refill on my drink and encountered weird girl again. She really needs to work on her customer service. When I asked if she minded getting me a refill she just stared at me. I said 'is that yes' and she almost jumped out of her skin telling me yes. Okay, okay, calm down, geez. Disliked her immensely. Everyone else was fine.
The food is the shining star here. It is divine.
