| - Just had one of the weirdest, most disappointing restaurant experiences I've had in a long time. In the last few months, I have heard a lot of positive buzz about this new place in the neighborhood with healthy food options. So, this evening, when I walked in the door to have dinner with my husband, I had high expectations and was looking forward to a delicious meal.
It was awkward.
When we walked in, there was only 1 other customer in the store. For some reason, there were SIX people behind the counter, mostly standing around talking to each other. I have been a manager in the restaurant business. I don't blame them - the store was very clean and there wasn't much to do. They were enormously overstuffed.
They called out our food at the counter. They couldn't even walk 10 feet to just bring out our food- we were the ONLY people in the restaurant. You had to call it out at the counter? This would be common courtesy. It didn't happen.
The food was very disappointing. I ordered the Metaboost wrap ($7.99), which was field greens and spinach, mango, kale, carrot, edamame, goat cheese, and balsamic vinaigrette. WAY TOO MUCH balsamic vinaigrette. I added tofu for an extra $1.49, making this a $9.48 vegetable wrap. Sadly, I consumed a wrap full of wet sloppy, savagely overdressed vegetables. The flavor of the ingredients could have potentially been great. Also, they didn't toss the tofu with the other ingredients. All of the tofu was jammed into the far left side of my wrap, rather than be evenly distributed. To conclude- Overdressed greens? That sucked guys. And it was way too expensive. It's been 45 minutes, and I'm still quite hungry after eating the entire wrap.
My husband ordered the Baja Burrito ($6.99), which had quinoa, avocado, red onion, cilantro, green onions, cabbage, and pico di Gallo. He added steak for an extra $2.49. There were a few scant pieces of steak in the burrito. It was not nearly enough, probably only 2 oz. The total cost was $9.48, and they skimped on the meat, even though they up charged for it. Worse, it was flavorless and under seasoned.
This food was not worth $20.00 for a wrap and a burrito.
It got worse.
When my husband and I were trying to eat our food, it felt like there were 6 people overhearing any conversation we wanted to have. It was very awkward. Yet, remember, one of them didn't even bring our food to us. Why are there so many people watching me eat my food? Time to cut some labor bro.
As you can already tell, I won't be going back.
