| - We were excited to check this food out after reading that they're interested in healthier options. I've been looking for a place where I can eat food similar to I would make at home - healthy and yummy. I'd say it was pretty good! My husband ordered the bison burger, and I ordered a burger on an english muffin with bacon and a fried egg. Better than the burgers were the sides ... we got sweet potato fries (many more than the 10 the other reviewer received) and a small dish of their vegan quinoa salad over kale. Our favorite item was the quinoa salad! I do look forward to going back to try some healthy salad and fish entrees, and I have high hopes based on this meal hence my 4 stars. I hope they bring in non-alcoholic beer as currently there is none.
Now for the constructive criticism...
Since it's only been open 7 days now, I cut them some slack, but they were highly overstaffed and it was a little awkward. Many servers mingling with each other at the front counter (isn't there a back room where they could go?), owners/investors meeting and planning at a high top table like it was their office, and 5 chefs or so in the kitchen just eagerly awaiting for you to put in your order. The other thing that was awkward is that there seems to be a storage room near the bar that can only be accessed from the dining room, so chefs were carrying things back and forth from that room, through the dining room, to the kitchen. That was distracting and odd.
Decor - I know they've spent a lot of money on some higher end finishing like the granite counters, steel stools and chairs, polished/stained floors, stone/wood wall surfaces, and a good-looking kitchen with brand new industrial hoods. Knowing that I feel bad saying the following: it sorta feels like a typical dude designed it and it just doesn't hang together. Design is very important to me so I'm going to have to overlook it to enjoy the food. The tables are cheap laminate, too, and wood would have been much more appropriate! (Maybe they could run to ikea, snag a bunch of butcher block countertops, oil them up and replace all those icky laminate tops?) Also, there is a note saying the wall decor is "in progress," and I just pray they're not going to continue the street sign theme that has started near the kitchen and storage room. You know, "Detour," "People at Work," etc. Some of those signs are very off putting and unwelcoming, I think. Ick, it makes me uncomfortable just thinking about it. Hey, the devil is in the details and I'm a details person! Also, for goodness' sake, make sure the ceiling fans are all spinning in the same direction, that's so distracting as well, especially when I'm trying to watch the sports on your fabulous flat screens and the fans are stealing my attention!
In summary, I wish this place the best of luck. They seem quite eager to do well, and I thank the universe that someone is trying to offer some yummy, healthy options with a focus on quality ingredients. I don't mind paying $9 for a burger if the ingredients are top notch, which they definitely were!
