| - I really wanted to love this place. I can justify to myself giving the 3 stars since for the most part the food was good -The bean & corn salad on the side was very good. I appreciate that they hand make the gluten-free wrap for their teriyaki wrap but it was a little soggy from the sauce in the wrap so we had to use a knife and fork to eat the wrap. Plus I think the tortilla could have been cooked a bit more since it was quite thick & very doughy in the center This may have been because it was still early when I ordered it at 11:20 and their lunch menu doesn't start until 11:30. So I was forewarned that the wrap might take a little extra time and it was served at 11:40. What we did not expect was that his waffle that was ordered at 11:20 would not be served until we had finished the wrap. We shared the wrap so I wouldn't have to eat in front of him or wait for it to get cold waiting for his waffle to be served. Great idea since his breakfast waffle was not served until 11:55!!! So gad he ordered the waffle & not a savory breakfast dish, so we could treat it like a dessert But I rechecked the menu & yes there was supposed to be coconut cream on it so I went up to the server at the register to ask about the cream. "Oh, it wasn't on there? Maybe they were out so they didn't put it on. But I can check for you" Okay so that answer did not impress me, but it got worse, she continued to look confused at the register for 5 minutes, then served another table their food, took another table's order, gave a 3rd table (that had come in after us& was served before us) their check & then change, went back to confused look at register & then was heading over to clear the table she gave the check and change to when she must have overheard my guy's comment to me so 10 minutes after my requesting the cream, decided to go into the kitchen to get some. Of course by that time we only had a few bites of waffle left & the syrup had already completely soaked in so no clue what the waffle would taste like hot & fresh with all the fixings.
SO, the 3-stars for the attempt at good food that was not up to par because of really poor service. I may try this place again - if it is still open in a few months when they have had a chance to get the service issues fixed. Sad because I was looking forward to liking this restaurant with it's good reviews & that it is all vegan but I don't always have an hour for a quick bite. I know this isn't fast food, but if two people order food, please don't serve their plates 20 minutes apart.
