| - I was so dissatisfied with this restaurant I've actually created a yelp account to review it.
Craving a salad, I yelped the area and found this Vegan spot. The reviews were mediocre but they had wifi, I was working remotely and figured I'd give it a shot. Upon looking at the menu I realised that I should probably go somewhere else . Prices for salads were higher than average and had no more than a handful of ingredients of them.. few of these ingredients being substantial/filling.
I was on a phone call with a friend when the waitress came to take my order, I told her that I was about to leave and that I was looking for a more "substantial salad". She directed my attention to their special. "The Sweet Potato" named, endearingly after the local organic grocery shop with whom they've partnered to make the dish. Surprisingly no sweet potato in the dish. It seemed to be a denser option as it had some tofu and mushrooms. The advertisement for the special had no price but I assumed that it would be the same as their other salads...
When it came out, I was unmoved. It was more or less the "grocery greens" salad I was trying to avoid. I asked for side hummus to help fill out the meal. They had no hummus but the waitress brought me a side of (what I assume are) canned beans.
The dressing was fine, the salad came in a big bowl, they did not skimp on the greens. The meal wasn't bad.. resoundingly mediocre.
When the bill came out I realised how much this incredibly average salad was. $17!! AND they charged me for the canned beans $2.50. So with tax.. my bill came out to $22.. by the time I tipped the waitress (who was good at her job) I had paid...
$26 !!! for... just one bowl of mixed greens, carrots, tofu, mushrooms, dressing and canned beans.
Insane that they feel okay charging this much. I feel like I've been robbed. I will never go back.
