| - I feel bad about updating a review in the negative direction about an old friend (I believe my previous review is saved from their old location), but I figured that honesty is a good policy. Despite loving Legume for many years, the past year or so, I have sometimes felt disappointed with them.
The chocolate truffle cake is still divine. Most of the appetizers are also incredible. But they have simply not been hitting it out of the ballpark in terms of the entrees. I've been several times now where I've 1) not been particularly excited about the options available, and 2) thought the entrees were simply OK, but not stellar. The fish entrees, for example, are fine, but not wow. So goes for the vegetarian options too. And, because Legume sources their meat locally, I feel licensed to eat meat there when I go. The last time I was there, they were serving Jamison lamb, which I know is very high quality. The server warned me that they did not trim the meat, so that I would have to deal with gristle and such, but woah. That leg was nigh inedible. I don't usually have a problem with having to work for my food, but the amount of work I had to put in, for the payoff, was not proportionate.
Don't get me wrong - I'll keep on coming back to Legume, but it will probably not be the first option that comes to mind from now on.
