I want to LOVE Mindful so badly but am having a hard time getting there. I have grown to really like the atmosphere and I always enjoy my time there. Also, Service has been good both times I have been here. However, the food just keeps falling short for me.
To start, the beers are pretty good. I had Chin music IPA which was good but still not hoppy enough for me. I also had the session IPA which I did not care for.
For an appetizer I tried the pirogies this time. They were SO SALTY. The filling and onions were good, but I am not a fan of salty food so this was way too much for me.
For a meal I had the fried chicken sandwich. The chicken was very good, but the sandwich itself was too dry. The ranch dressing here is amazing though! We also had the Buffalo chicken pizza. I want to like their pizza, the ingredients are so fresh and the dough so good. Except each pizzas toppings for me are too blan. If they could kick it up one more notch then we'd be talking!
I'll keep coming back for the atmosphere and the fact I do really enjoy how fresh the food is and their menu. I just want Mindful to do a little more so I can become a regular!
PS. Happy Hour has some great specials.
