This was our first visit to Good Food Low Carb Cafe and I had been looking forward to it for a long time. The dining area was nicely decorated but simple. The cashier was very friendly and cheerful. We ordered the jalapeño poppers wrapped in bacon as an appetizer. The jalapeño poppers arrived quickly. While the menu stated six poppers wrapped in bacon we received three jalapeños cut in half and filled with cheddar cheese and wrapped in bacon. They were not spicy as they removed all of the seeds. The bacon added a nice flavor.
For dinner my husband ordered the Pad Thai Zoodle bowl. My husband liked it but he thought it was a bit bland so he went to the counter to get the sriracha sauce to liven it up a bit. I told him Pad Thai is not supposed to be spicy, but he loves to doctor up any food with spicy ingredients. I am not a big Pad Thai fan but I did taste his and I thought it was good and liked it better than the traditional version.
I ordered the Citrus Avocado Kale salad with tofu. Yum, that sounds great! It states on the menu that is prepared with chopped pink grapefruit and orange segments that is tossed with massaged chopped kale, mixed greens, avocado and topped with pickled red onion, crumbled feta cheese and sunflower seeds. When my order arrived, it took me a minute to realize that it didn't appear as the menu stated. The menu stated massaged kale with mixed greens and I was expecting a salad consisting of mostly kale and field greens mixed in. My salad was at least 98 percent romaine lettuce with seriously maybe 4 pieces of kale leaves. Not only that but I stirred around looking for the pickled red onion. I found a one-inch piece of red onion but not pickled. I went up to the counter and told the cashier that I thought I received the wrong salad as I was expecting a kale salad with field greens, not romaine. She stated that she thought so too and she would ask the chef.
She disappeared for awhile and then was taking care of the next customer. After a while I brought my salad to the counter. She stated that the chef said that was the Citrus Kale Salad I ordered and she would ask the chef to add more kale and mention to the owners my concern. I received a new salad, with the same amount of romaine lettuce and probably ten pieces of baby kale. I did finally get my pickled red onion on top. Avocado mostly absent with two tiny bites. To be fair she asked me if I wanted to order something else but I was so irritated at that point I just ate what I received. My suggestion would be to show pictures of the menu items so you know what you are getting before it is served.
Maybe they ran out or were running low on ingredients for the salad? If so, I would think they would let me know the salad was not available. Maybe we will give them one more try but for breakfast or lunch. Cashier/Waitress would get five stars as she was super friendly.
