| - First all the good things! Lovely decor, fantastic service, and very clean!
Now, the rest of the story. It's almost a strip mall version of a popular, local, farm grill type restaurant but without the excellent food.
When I walked in I wasn't exactly sure where to go, which never sets the right feeling for me when visiting a restaurant. Then it seemed likely we were to crowd around the little bottle neck of people huddled around wall mounted menu monitors to the right of the entrance. We would have liked to have a physical menu to read as we waited in line instead of watching people walk past us to line up.
Despite our efforts to become familiar with the menu before leaving the monitors, once I got to to the pleasant cashier I couldn't remember exactly what was on the lettuce wraps I was considering. The cashier tried to help but obviously didn't know either because he listed ingredients I was sure weren't on the dish. I asked if there was any way I could see a menu and he handed me a poorly printed, hard to read, carry-out menu. I was forced to hold up the line while I confirmed the ingredients of the dish, again, not the feeling you want when visiting a restaurant for the first time.
Once we received our food I was disappointed to receive dry, tasteless chicken in my lettuce wraps. If it weren't for the sauce served on the side it would have had no taste at all. Pretty unfortunate since chicken is 9/10 of the dish.
My fiancé liked his spinach and mushroom crepe more than I liked my lettuce wraps, but I don't think he was thrilled with it.
If I'm in the area will give them another try after I give them a little time to prefect their game. But I probably won't make a special trip unless things change dramatically.
I will watch Yelp reviews in hopes of seeing marked improvement as I would really like to see them succeed!
