| - Dining solo and with an empty fridge, I was on the hunt for a healthy spot near home. A quick search on Yelp, and I found Flower Child.
Oddly enough, I've been through the plaza where it is located probably a dozen times but never noticed it. It is located right by Steak 44 and in the same shopping center where Aj's is.
First thoughts upon walking inside.. vibrant, chic, casual, and a nice garden-vibe going on. Definitely great spot to meet a few friends for a casual and fresh lunch/dinner.
I went with the Organic Kale Salad. A lot of flavors going on..everything from smoked almonds (yum!) to Aged White Cheddar, to grapefruit and granny smith apples.
To be honest, the grapefruit was just too overpowering - way too much of a sour flavor that collided with everything else. Unfortunately, it kind of ruined the salad for me because as I tried to pick around it, the juices started to get on the rest of what I was trying to eat.
The aged white cheddar was DELICIOUS but came in these ginormous cubes throughout the salad. I wish that it was crumbled so that the flavor was more consistent with each bite instead of just getting an entire mouthful of it all at once.
All the other ingredients blended quite nicely, including the dressing.
I'm excited to come here again, but will go with a different dish on the menu next time.
