So happy that this place is here. The concept of the restaurant is great. The staff is friendly and very helpful.
Unfortunately, the food at best, is hangover food. Hangover food gone so wrong. Fried, greasy and salty with an absence of flavour and inspiration.
Fresh vegetables are not as plentiful as one would imagine. Why??? Tell me.
I had the chicken club. It was a fried mass of flash frozen tasteless protein. Hard to the bite. Filling. Like day old bread. The collard greens tasted like they had been soaked in canola with a snifter of Sunlight detergent. Maybe a bit of dish soap. I guess whoever made this has chosen to ignore the tradition of southern style collard greens.
There were two slabs on my plate of what I think might have been turkey? Greige in colour. These pieces resembled a flattened Penis with a hint of chemically conjured turkey aroma. Painful.
Please chef: wake up. Get inspired. Get excited about your food. Get rid of flash frozen foods and tasteless slabs of 'chicken fingers'. Make it yourself.
I love that you are doing comfort food. Try and do the comfort food with house made pickles, mayonnaise, burgers and sauces. Stop using the plastic cheese that Vegans can buy at a supermarket. Make your own. And please get a better recipient for collard greens. More fresh vegetables. Better wine list.
If you can do all of the above, I have no doubt that your place will become a treasure.
