| - Between me pulling an all nighter, once again; and my wife studying hard for her upcoming finals; our normally fun Saturday jaunts have been curtailed for a month now.
Therefore, when it came time for lunch, we wanted something quick and healthy; and my beloved found this delightful place in the Desert Ridge Area.
When we arrived, we were promptly greeted and seated. We could've opted for the covered patio seating, which looked very comfortable, but we opted to dine inside.
Shortly thereafter, our server Gina, introduced herself and handed us our menus; as well as, took our drink order.
As we perused the menu, we noticed that they had a plethora of healthy options, and everything seemed to cry out, "try me!" All these dining decisions to be made, and with so little time to study and make them!
In any case, after a few moments of thumbing through the pages, I opted for the Kale Omelette. My wife ordered the Chipotle Vegetarian Burger, with a side of salad and fries.
For good measure, we ordered the Hummus Trio as an appetizer.
The Hummus Trio had such a simple, yet wonderful presentation. Three types of Hummus to sample, along with some Cucumbers and Pita bread. We were quite impressed with the flavors of all three Hummuses. Along with the cucumber, and the scrumptious Pitas, it just made for a delightful dish.
Then along came main course. My wife's Chipotle Vegetarian Burger had a wonderfully meaty flavor, even though it had no meat in it. And the inclusion of the grilled onions gave it a smoky flavor. Additionally, the Chipotle sauce on the burger just made the whole dish divine!
The only issue that she had the the burger was that the bun had a tendency to disintegrate and made the burger too messy to the point that it had to be consumed with the aid of a knife and fork.
Her side salad had a sweet, vinaigrette dressing that was just marvelous.
My Kale Omelette was quite good. Perhaps, a little on the bland side, but Kale does not exactly have the most distinct flavor. It was still a wonderful dish!
Overall, the superb and delightful dishes that we had; along with the prompt and courteous service made for an amazing first time visit to this gem of a restaurant.
