I had really high hopes for Fern, a place touted by my veg friends as fervently as evangelists. But I've gotta say, meh. The menu descriptions are fantastic, and I should've gone for the Buddha Bowl, but instead I was lured by the sound of mushroom bacon. Disappointed, which should surprise no one (but me). Similar ehs from everyone around the table. I tried to spice things up with the housemade hot sauce, but that wasn't even hot, just salty. I loved the service, knowledgeable staff and friendly, cozy vibe. But I won't be going back for the food.
