I love how many vegetarian and vegan options this restaurant has. They are creative and very fun. But for my third visit here, I came away satisfied but overall disappointed. On my first visit years ago, not long after it opened, I had the tastiest gnocci I've ever had. This time the food was just fine, and under delivered on its promises.
The kale salad with cheese and lemon was nicely chewy, but the citrus was overwhelming. The veggie burger was seasoned nicely but mushy. The salad was limp.
The outdoor seating was wonderful but the staff was way too pushy when it came to clearing out plates. Yes it was a Saturday night but we had to keep shooing them away from our clearly in-progress plates.
You know what? I would still come back to this place if the menu changes. I love how adventurous Chef Sawyer is, and I appreciate his attention to vegetarian/vegan food. I just hope he's in the kitchen the night I return.
