| - This review has been a long time coming so kick back and take off your socks.
When I first went here I did not know this was a vegetarian restaurant. Yep, I'm that asshole. I went here on a date and as I flipped through the menu I stuttered...
"Hmmm there's a lot of s s s s salads in the appet t t t t izer section"
*surrounding tables start to look*
As I flip through the menu, I notice there are nothing but meatless entrees, my jaw begins to sag and my date mentions...
"Justin, there isn't any meat here... this is a vegetarian place"
"WHAT?!"
* pin drop *
I was super embarrassed. I managed to hold it together til the cheque came and scored a kiss on the cheek for my bravery.
All in all not a bad night...
ANYWHO -
Since that experience I've always hesitated going back to the place as for some reason I always get anxious about eating there. The idea that I can only eat things that come from trees seems so limiting to me as a carnivore.... That being said, every time I'm forced to go back... whether it be the company I keep or the fact that I ate Korean BBQ for lunch and I need to balance out my diet.... I always come out with a pretty positive experience.
Undeniably - The food is fresh, it's good for you, and its tasty.... it can be rare that you eat at a joint that gets at least two of the three right, so it's reFRESHing ----- har har to stumble upon a place that can do that, even though for me it isn't the dining of choice.
Menu has a large selection of leaf and tree things and the service is really neat.
The only downside is that I hate hippies.... with a passion.... I don't know what it is - the dreads, the mulch hanging out of their pocket, or listening to their stories about how they saved a juniper tree while picking peaches in British Colombia....all while eating a forkfull of leaves. Monsters.
Space out the tables so I don't have green peace sitting next to me and you got a 5 star joint on your hands !
*NOTE Try the BBQ burger, close your eyes, and pretend your eating a hero burger... IT REALLY WORKS! - *
