| - YUM.
It bugs me these days when people are scared of Vegetarian restaurants, saying it's not Hearty enough, or not enough sustenance, or say that they don't want to pay $10 bucks for just a salad. a) depends what you order b) there is so much more to Veggie food than just leaves
That being said, Fresh is one of those places that you can get full up and waddle out of the restaurant without feeling like a greaseball.
We came on a Wednesday night. They don't take reservations, and for out table of 6 we were told to wait an hour. 5 mins later, that became half and hour. 10 mins later, we were seated. how nice! Don't be deterred by all the people in the hallway or on the benches. Most are just waiting for takeout.
The menu has tons of variety. Salads, Wraps, Sandwiches, Bowls of rice or noodles, burgers, and plenty of starters. For those with allergies, ask for the gluten free menu - it lists out all the ingredients for everything in a dish in detail, and offers substitutions.
Things to order:
QUINOA BATTERED ONION RINGS ($5). I've never had a crunchier onion ring, I don't know how they do it.
SWEET POTATO FRIES ($5) good to share and comes with a choice of dipping sauce
THAI BURGER A friend of mine loves this veggie burger, but perhaps an acquired taste because another friend said she wasn't fond of the texture
FRESH BOWLS I think these are the only reason I come here. Most are $11-15 for a regular size. Today I had the Energy Bowl with rice - chickpea stew, thai curry + other veggies and things. It was quite yummy. I tend to lean towards the one with the sauce in it, as I was afraid that without it, it would be too dry. My boyfriend got the Jerusalem bowl, which didn't have any type of sauce except tahini, and it not dry at all! It was quite yummy, and very 'fresh' and 'clean' tasting.
I don't know why it's so hard to convince people to come here, but I'll be back for sure.
