| - So I went here last night for a first date and I knew this would be the place he would pick since he seemed kind of hippie-ish. I was a little wary of this place because of the Yelp reviews, but you're supposed to be open on first dates and all that bs.
I arrive there first, I always do this so I can get a drink in before the date arrives. Always important to pregame just in case they don't drink or are that awful that you need more drinks to handle them. But I digress...so I go up the "bar" (if you can call it that) and get a Red Moon with vodka. Really tasty, but I don't need the bartender going over how sustainable their liquors are. You have MGD on the menu!!!
My date arrives and we head over the table to be greeted by a perky little blond named Kristen. She was sweet, advised we do the restaurant week menu. We did, and within moments our hummus arrived. The hummus was good. I liked the feta and olives in it. Then came the first course of the summer salad for me and the edamame dumplings for him. Again they were good, nothing spectacular yet...
Entrees were next. I ordered the steak tacos and my date ordered the cod. So this is where it gets interesting. I'm all for being green, but I hate when businesses or people act like they are enviromentally friendly because it's the thing to do. My date had chopsticks for the dumplings and was told he would need them again for cod. When they took his plate away I jokingly called to the manager who took the plate that he needed the chopsticks and throwing them away wasn't environmentally friendly. Damn! Did I get the nastiest look back from him! Then when we receive our entrees the second manager, Kent, comes over and my date asks him if he returns the freshly unwrapped chopsticks would they go back to the bin so another patron could use them. This confused and disgusted Kent at the same time. How dare we ask to put unused chopsticks (STILL IN WRAPPER!) back into the bin instead of wasting them?! At this point he subtly rips them, hands them back to my date and says he can't return them to the bin. This whole situation was hilarious for me. I couldn't believe my date did that and then the manager's actions as well were unbelievable. They really believe in sustainability.
The rest of the meal was just okay from there. The steak tacos were bland. And the lemon olive oil cake I had was just okay. It was cold, and I like my olive oil cake served at room to warmer temperatures.
FYI for the "sustainable and environmentally friendly" restaurant eating buffalo is better than eating beef for the environment.
