| - Appreciated the friendly service, cute decor, and reasonably tasty food (though to be fair, it was pretty foolproof prep/ all just boiled and sauced, and the sauce on my main dish was just alright).
However - and to be clear, I don't even identify as an incredibly 'green' person - the one thing I refuse to go back because of is the fact that my meal alone produced a disturbing amount of waste: plastic bibs and gloves; two thicker plastic bags for each of my dishes (which, as an aside, contributed to sloppy presentation); plastic-coated "tablecloths"; disposable cups, plates, and napkins - when asked, a server admitted that it's all easily balled up within the table covering and tossed away at the end of each meal.
So much of this could be substituted with reusable materials, and the undoubtedly solid profit margins of this boil-and-go kind of concept must Definitely be able to cover the upfront costs of said substitutions, so while I'd be happy to both recommend and personally come back to this restaurant if the material shortcomings proved to be a temporary feature of it, I couldn't enjoy the one meal I've had here while stomaching the irony around half of my meal's leftovers ending up wrapped around fish in the ocean.
P.S. the Groupon wasn't that great a deal either, in retrospect!
