| - I was eager to try this restaurant when I saw it would be opening. Unfortunately, after trying it tonight, I have to report that it was simply not that good. I ordered a spicy avocado and lime bowl, which costs $13 if chicken is added. The avocado, though prominently featured first in the name of the menu item, was small--about 1/4 of an avocado. What's worse, significant portions of it were brown/black, not fresh or green at all. So after cutting out the dark parts, there was hardly any avocado left. Besides the avocado, the bowl itself was surprisingly small with very sparse amounts of each of the ingredients. The contents are placed in a large flat bowl (to make it look large, I suppose), but it had very little depth. Both my date (who also ordered a bowl) and I left hungry. When 2 people pay $30 for a simple fast casual meal and leave hungry, it is not acceptable. Perhaps that would have been more palatable if the food were excellent, but the flavor was not to my liking. Compared to somewhere like Chopt, Yafo, or even Freshii (all of which would have been less money for more food), it was sadly lacking.
I guess it should have been a clue when we walked in at 7pm on a Saturday and the place was completely empty. The servers were nice, but that doesn't salvage the unappealing food. Not to mention the long community tables were very uncomfortable, and the cloth cushions were stained and looked filthy. I really wanted to like this place, but it was definitely a fail.
