| - Went here today for lunch with my family, and I will say that I have been here before and loved it. I don't remember what I had then but I seem to recall it being a positive experience!
First off, I am a waiter's worst nightmare, and I know that. I am not only a vegetarian (pescatarian to be precise, I occasionally eat seafood) but I am also gluten free. Which is usually not too hard to accommodate. I'm not the kind of special eater that feels like everyone should bend around my weird digestive system, I can always find something to eat anywhere (yay for salads!)
That being said, the Bottlehouse does not have one single vegetarian entree on the menu. Not even a vegetarian flatbread! This is bordering on unacceptable, really. Loads of people don't eat meat. I could understand not including a veggie entree if it was a steakhouse or a BBQ place...but it is neither.
They did have GF bread and flatbreads though, so if I did eat meat I would have been excited.
Anyway I settled on the Ahi Tuna Salad which was supposed to have tuna, fresh veggies and a passion fruit vinegarette with some sashimi style tuna and edamame. Sounds good right? (Well if you like raw fish, it sounds good)
After what seemed like forever the food came and it looked beautiful, I wish I could say the same for the taste. The dressing tasted like hardly anything which was par for the course for the rest of the meal. Which was basically raw tuna, some carrots, beans and a bland dressing.
Also to note, two of my family members had cold soup, that was not supposed to be cold.
This makes me sad to write a less than glowing review of this place because I've liked it in the past - and that location is tough and I think this is the longest one place has stayed there in recent memory.
I felt really frustrated that if I didn't eat fish, I would have been chomping on a house salad as the only option. That's pretty sad, Bottlehouse (that being said, I probably should have done that)
