| - Back from holiday and had some amazing soups that made me reflect back on my experience here. I have to preface this review with that the owner here is quite lovely and I'm sure has the best intentions, but unfortunately the soup was sorely lacking. As a proponent of organics, I had my hopes way too high. Well, first of all it was a bit confusing if we were to order at the counter from a very smudged, unreadable chalk board or if we were to be seated. The owner appeared from the kitchen and said to have a seat eliminating our initial confusion. To keep this review to the point, we ordered a smoothie, bland. A frittata, very small and actually strange as if it might have been cooked in the microwave, need I say more. Two bowls of soup, one was a bean with kale, unfortunately the beans were not thoroughly cooked and the flavor was not allowed to develop. The other a red pepper concoction, that another diner suggested, was one dimensional and needed copious amounts of help sprinkled with some love.
When paying these boutique prices one expects and should get a better quality, culinary creation. These soups needed proper development and herbal infusions that the kitchen obviously lacks. I would like to offer a suggestion that may help her, so she can spend more time with the soup prep and less time running around the table up front, and that is to consider a different style of service. The place is so small that she could have customers order from the chalkboard, if readable, and then deliver the orders. I wish her the best in her endeavor.
