| - My friend and I dined here as I had been given a gift card and figured it was worth a try.
The ambiance is really nice, casual but sophisticated.
The menu reminded me a lot of True Food, with lots of unique, healthy and seasonal influences. It is expensive for what you get. My spinach salad was spinach leaves, a few crumbles of blue cheese, maybe 5 walnuts and two halved pears. For the price, it was disappointing. My friends salad was a glorified Caesar salad, that was also not worth the price. In the end, I am glad I had a gift card.
We were sat quickly, and put in an order of gluten sensitive flat-bread, due to my gluten free requirements, to split and two salads. Our flatbread arrived very quickly and we each started to eat. From behind us, we could hear a table complained we had gotten our flatbread before they had. Their waiter then told them, their flatbread went to the wrong table. At that point our waitress came over and advised us we were eating the regular flatbread, not the gluten free. Awesome.
It was replaced and taken off the bill, with an apologetic visit from the manager. However, I still am very disappointed in the mismanagement and lack of attention paid to this.
I have been gluten free most of my life, and only one other time have experienced something like this at a restaurant. I understand personally the 'risk' involved in eating out, however I believe it a restaurant is offering gluten-sensitive or gluten free items, the impetus is also on the leadership and staff to properly train and manage these offerings, so as prevent a something like this, which was so easily preventable.
Even without the food mixup, which again was taken off our bill with sincere apologies, the food was average in taste, presentation and uniqueness and above average in price.
