| - We had walked past this place while it was under construction and bookmarked it on yelp. When we saw it was open, we decided to give it a try.
This is one of those places that you order, then find your seat. They do have a tip option when you pay at the register. Seemed a little odd since you pay and seat yourself and haven't had any service yet, but we still gave a tip.
When we looked at the menu we weren't super thrilled with the limited options but decided to give it a try based on all the great reviews.
My husband ordered the turkey day sandwich. He said all the ingredients were very fresh and flavorful. Overall it was a very good sandwich. He was pleasantly surprised and I was relieved since coming to this spot was my idea.
I ordered the blueberry steel salad with chicken added, it arrived about 5 minutes after my husbands sandwich. When it arrived it was covered with marinated onions. I immediately told her that the menu didn't state onions were on it and I don't eat onions. She asked "is it an allergy?" to which I replied "No. I despise the smell and taste of onions". She then asked "do you want me to take it back and have them pick them off for you?" (Gross!) I said no, I will try to pick them off myself.
Long story short - I could only eat about half my salad, the rest was laying on a napkin next to my bowl. The chicken I paid extra for was inedible, as were many of the toppings. It MIGHT be good but it's hard to say since mine smelled and tasted of onions and most of the toppings were laying on a napkin.
As noted by previous reviewers, the only tea they have is bottles so there's no refills or sweetener available, if you use them. We only drink water and tea, and Usually more than one cup so it was a bummer that we couldn't get refills.
Lastly, they had a person singing and playing the guitar. Usually I enjoy that atmosphere but it seemed overly loud to both of us.
My husband said he would be willing to come again. I might but need to get over the literal bad taste of onions plus the offer to have them "picking" at my food.
The husband gave it a 5 for his food, 1 for the rest. Averaging at 3 since 2.5 isn't an option.
