| - This is totally my kind of place, and I'm so excited to have it so close to my house!
I'm a self-proclaimed "salad connoisseur". Salad is one of my favorite foods if it's done well -- as in fresh, quality ingredients in interesting, flavorful combinations. I'm thrilled that Radish gets it right!
Every one of the salads on their menu sounds really tasty. All their unique dressings are fresh and house-made, making them delicious and healthy (the staff said they are all made with olive oil! Health nuts can rejoice that there is no soybean oil or other cheap vegetable oil). Chef Quentin also told me that about 90% of their ingredients are locally sourced, and many of them are organic. Just what I'm looking for in a restaurant salad. Win!
I ended up getting the Beard of Zeus salad: Romaine, grilled chicken, feta cheese, kalamata olives, braised artichoke hearts, garbanzo beans, grilled zucchini, tomato, cucumber, red onion, mint, and a creamy roasted garlic dressing. It all had such good flavor to it, and just the right balance of everything. The mint and the garlic really stood out to me, and I loved it! The regular size salad was plenty. I even had leftovers to take home.
The customer service was great as well, and Chef Quentin seemed very passionate and excited about this new restaurant. He was very helpful, informative and kind.
I will definitely be back. I think this will be a go-to spot for my salad fix. The juices all looked and sounded so good -- especially the "Rad But True" (watermelon, cucumber and mint! Yum!). I can't wait to try some of these in the future!
