I really enjoyed many things about The Main Ingredient, but the food fell short in my opinion. Awesome restaurant, basically a renovated house turned into a restaurant. I really like when restaurants have that type of layout. Happy hour was really great too. Their draft beers are normally $6, but on happy hour they are only $3. They have some legit drafts too so this is probably one of the best happy hour beer prices for good quality beer.
The food is where it went a little downhill for me. I got the green chili stew and I think I was just expecting something different. It had flavor and a good amount of green chilis, but I was hoping for more of a green chili sauce to be the base and it was more of a chunky stew. Maybe it was just me but I guess I was just expecting more of a soup consistency. It was served with two corn tortillas on the side. My wife ordered a sandwich with turkey and salami and she liked it. I thought that the roasted turkey had a weird flavor but the salad dressing was really flavorful. I would return and maybe just try different things on the menu. Great happy hour beer prices and a great atmosphere though.
