| - A conflicting 3 stars. I've had 2 or 3 nice experiences here, and 2 or 3 less impressive visits. The couple of times I've had pasta, the dishes were pretty good. Heavy on the sauce, but flavorful. I do like that they utilize some many local resources to craft somewhat creative cuisine. It's terrific to see community support that makes clean, conscious eating possible. Well at least on some parts of the menu.
I'm what you might call a "flexovegan" - though I know true vegans take insult to that term - and I try to be very careful and particular when I choose to flex. My favorite kind of salad is a good ole Nicoise, and they are very hard to do incorrectly so I chose to flex here having been previously appeased by their food. I don't know how clean or conscious my Nicoise was, but it certainly wasn't creative or tasty. Was the tuna poached for from a can? It looked like something that might be served in a sportsbar. Presentation was not appealing, a few tears of butter lettuce, and some huge flavorless olives. Yikes, big miss.
The first wine a tried needed to breathe for another century before being served, but they glady replaced my glass with a delicious Barbera. The service was friendly, but I'm just not sold on whether the food is worth the price. Thank god we had a Groupon.
