| - I was at this restaurant 2014 and had the caprese salad. The tomatoes were disappointing, it was the middle of summer and I expected them to be more fresh. I decided to give the restaurant another try recently. I met some friends there and order the lentil soup as an appetizer. The lentil soup was vegan and absolutely delicious. The server brought out some bread and it was very lackluster. The bread was your typical white bread, nothing special about it at all, not worth the calories. I ordered the seasonal grilled vegetable platter. I was excited about it as I really love grilled vegetables in the summertime. The best part of our meal was the owner coming out with a pan in his hand with some kind of creamy pasta in it. He came to our table and spooned some pasta on each of our plates. I do not eat cheese so I had to pass but everyone at my table loved it and I really liked the personalized touch. It pains me not to taste the owner's creation to this day... But I digress. I was instantly disappointed when they brought my entrée out, it was pretty much just a bunch of eggplant. I'm not a huge fan of a plan, I guess I should've asked what the veggies were but being that it was July I was expecting awesome kebab like veggies (peppers, mushrooms, onions, etc. 80% of the dish was eggplant with a little tiny bit of zucchini, canned artichokes and a garnish of diced tomatoes. The zucchini was oily and the texture was chewy, it was almost an inedible. For $19 I was extremely disappointed. Everyone else the table seem to enjoy their meal and everything looked good, especially the pesto. I have to say the service was also subpar. On a positive note it's a great place to people watch on a beautiful summer day.
