In my mind, there are three kinds of restaurants. 1. Restaurants that serve food that you could never recreate. 2. Restaurants that serve food that you could attempt to make, but it wouldn't be as good. and 3. Restaurants that serve food that you could absolutely recreate and it would taste just as good if not better. Rachel's Kitchen (ON WARM SPRINGS) is a category 3 restaurant.
We ordered the turkey club on wheat, smoked turkey and avocado on french, and smoked turkey and avocado on ciabatta. At only $1 more the turkey club is slightly bigger in portion and a much better tasting sandwich. The sandwich is smaller when made on a ciabatta compared to the french bread. They weren't bad, but they weren't that great either. If someone asked me what a grocery store pre-made deli sandwiches tasted like, I would wrap the smoked turkey and avocado from Rachel's Kitchen in some saran wrap and give them that. I was not impressed.
Free muffin with Yelp check-in- too bad the muffin was as hard as a rock! When were they baked? Definitely not today.
Again, the food isn't bad, but for the price I would want something better. The restaurant is cute and the outdoor section is a nice place to sit if the weather is nice. If I come back, it'll be because I'm paying for the atmosphere and not the food.
The Rachel's Kitchen at the District was better than this location.
