| - I really, really want to love this place.
I have been here 5 times. I feel like that qualifies me to have a pretty decent basis to leave a review. I have tried something different each time. The thing that drives me crazy about this place is the menu. It hangs on a wall on tv screens. It's not near the register. So when you walk up to the register and are deciding between two things, you have to ask the cashier questions. I have had a different one every time, all teenagers. They are always nice, but they NEVER KNOW THE MENU. I have been told the steak and blue cheese salad has.... Wait for it.... Blue cheese. But upon receiving it, I find out it actually doesn't have any cheese at all. It's just a dressing. I was also told the chicken, avocado and strawberry salad didn't have any other ingredients. It actually has bacon and walnuts and cucumbers, none f which I am the biggest fan of.
Also, the staff tends to disappear. It's like there is some magical room they go into that has sound proof walls. Today after I got my salad, they gave me this gross citrus dressing and then they went into the panic room, and I stood at the register for 10 minutes saying hello really loud. Finally I heard a door close and the kid was back. The chef also came walking back in the restaurant from the front door. It was bizarro.
Also, the ramen which I have had both as a take out and inside the restaurant never has enough broth. It's always a ton of noodles, like 4 pieces of broccoli and an afterthought of broth. It's ramen people, give us broth!
Otherwise, the food is fresh, which I appreciate. I hope they get their shizz together. These are things that can be fixed. I am hopeful, I love non-chain restaurants. I will continue to support them as my neighborhood restaurant, and I am rooting for them.
Side note, the kid just gave a tweaker a water cop, and he has been sitting at a table across from me staring at me and itching his face like crazy (in between leering and smiling at me while mouthing words). It's creepy. Please, don't water the local drug addicts.
