| - This restaurant is the absolute epitome of 5 Stars!
While staying at a nearby hotel during a brief overnight layover, I had the privilege of visiting with Ms. Lanny Liu, the owner and head chef of this quaint establishment. To date, they have been open for approx 2 months, so they are just getting started. Thats not so say, however, that Ms. Liu is just getting started. As we spoke, it became evident that the crazy good food was not a mere accident or anomaly. She's been doing this a while and it shows.
When I think of 5 Stars, I don't think of high dollar, fancy, or lobster...I think of fresh ingredients, creative dishes, unique bold flavors, and lastly but perhaps most importantly, it has to be executed with precision. That is EXACTLY what I found at The Mission Eatery. With a variety of meals, from the hearty meaty, to the hearty vegan, there is a fit for everyone. Although I am not a vegan, I was lured into the vegan portobello mushroom and cheddar melt. It was absolutely fantastic. For a small add on price, I got their Mission salad. Perfectly balanced with a variety of ingredients and dressing (again, they nailed it with the dressing...not too dry, but not at all soggy).
For years, I used to avoid getting stuck at this layover during a lunch or dinner meal time. With the addition of this fantastic place, that fear is gone and replaced with the anticipation of returning to try another delicious creation.
VERY WELL DONE!
PS. The service and staff is perhaps the most friendly I have encountered in quite some time.
