  • LYFE Kitchen (LK) has grown on me. In the past year I've been back a number of times and each time enjoyed my experience more than the last. CON/PRO: I am not a fan of "slick" looking health food restaurants. I realize that I carry some hippy expectation of earthy meets raw meets community. But that's my own bias and I needed a few visits for me to get past what LK is NOT and to appreciate LK for what it is. Had I written a review after my first visit, I am sure I would have been complaining about the chain-feel to the place. There is a pushiness and an aggressive efficiency that makes me feel rushed when I'm there. But after looking for a healthy (ish) place to go catch up with friends, LK was one of the few places in town that fit all of our criteria. Some folks will be drawn to the obvious attempts to cultivate a hipster vibe--I am not. Are they using the herbs in the entry area? I hope so. But I appreciate what they are doing at LK. It's clean and well run. And while limited, they have food options that let you feel good about yourself when you are leaving. THE FOOD: Here is the primary issue. The food is just ok. The options sound tantalizing, but the execution lacks flavor and.....options. We chose LK for breakfast since I am not eating animal protein and needed a place that I could eat along side friends looking for lighter (while not vegan) fare. I ordered a deconstructed Morning Veggie Wrap Vegan Breakfast Brunch. It's the ONLY vegan option on a very small breakfast menu and I tweaked it with: with no tortilla, no daiya cheddar or avocado, add extra arugula. And it was solid. But considering I had to modify the dish and it offered no flavors that an inexperienced chef couldn't pull together, I was a little disappointed. And I am ready to start citing west coast restaurants that don't offer a passable "salsa fresca". Work on that LK. But like so many places in town, this spot isn't primarily for eating. This is a place that offers a lovely modern ambiance ad a peaceful location to order something more healthy than not. And sip on tea and catch up with friends. This is not a place to come to really have an experience with food. But it's solid. And now that I know about the breakfast/brunch option, if I need a place off the 215 to eat with friends, I will likely be back.
