Maybe because it's organic? Bland. Though the atmosphere is calming and inviting for a leisurely dinner the food missed it's mark. That's why I gave it 2 stars. I had the diced fresh beets I can't even remember what was in it. Forgettable I guess. I had to ask for salt to bring out the flavor. They don't like to use salt in their cooking and we had to ask for it since it was not on the table. I do not use a lot of salt but the appetizer and our entree needed it. I order the bass which was ok but I thought maybe slightly undercooked. It came with fingerling potatoes and some spinach that was bland. My friend had fresh pasta cavatelle in a light pesto sauce. The pasta was too chewy and it had a texture more like eating squid. Though pesto is basil based it was too strong. Maybe a bit more roasted ground pine nuts would help offset the strong basil flavor. She did have a side of mushrooms which was very good. The service was good to but maybe a bit too conscientious. Better that then none at all.
