| - This place has been on my radar for forever! Every time I tried to go they were closed though. Shame on me for not checking the hours, but they aren't open for lunch on the weekdays when I find myself in Shadyside for meetings.
The menu looked tantalizing. I love veggies and absolutely don't mind the restaurant's approach to gluten-free and vegetarian food. I zeroed in on the Vegetable Scramble which had assorted veggies, back eyed peas and avocados scrambled with organic eggs. I was hesitant about the gluten-free toast, I usually don't feel like gluten-free toast is any good, but that may have been the best part of the meal!
Unfortunately, the scramble was very bland. It had everything going for it, all the right ingredients, but lacked any flavor. I doctored it up with pepper and salt, but it still didn't do much. I also got the red pepper soup, which tasted bland as well. The only difference was when I added salt and pepper to this, it tasted a little better.
The highlights were local Gryphon's Tea (love the Chai!) and incredibly friendly service. Other than that, I was disappointed. Especially with all the glowing reviews! Hope it was just an off day...
