| - I was in town for a friend's wedding and was looking for a good brunch place that would be vegan/vegetarian friendly (for me) and also have gluten-free options (for a friend). My local friend said she had tried Zenith for lunch and that it was awesome! She also said that the brunch was supposed to be even better so the three of us decided to go for Sunday brunch.
What a funky, cool spot! The thrift shop upfront provided more than an eyeful as we grabbed our coffees and waited for a table. We were quickly seated and handed menus. I ordered the barbecue seitan sandwich and both my friends got the roasted portabella plate with mashed sweet potatoes and greens.
Then it was on to the table groaning with all kinds of salads: fruit salads, grain salads, pasta salads, vegetable salads, etc. Wow, what a spread! I chose about five different kinds to try out and returned to my seat. Our main courses quickly joined our overloaded table. Upon taking a bite of my seitan sandwich, I immediately noticed how sweet it was. It had some spice to it, but the overwhelming flavor was sweetness. My friends took bites of their dishes and said the same thing. We then all tried our various salads. Good, but again, too sweet! What was going on here? Did whoever prepared the food have a serious sweet tooth? At least the cakes were good and sweet, as expected.
The food was okay but not nearly as good as I was hoping for. My local friend said lunch was much better and was also confused as to why it was so different this time. Hopefully it was a one-time thing and the food is normally seasoned better. If not, stay away unless you love your sugar.
