As a manic yet guilty meat-eater, I've been on a 10-year plan to become a vegetarian for about 20 years now. Haven't made too much progress but Fern gives me hope to "win the future" (that's a tag line I came up with recently, Obama stole it).
The roasted vegetable panini was out of this world - eggplant, zucchini, a delicious mozzarella cheese on a soft roll. It came with a side (I got the quinoa salad) for $9 and it was a huge sandwich. We also tried the Indian tacos, and as the other reviewers have said, they were great. Also a huge portion and we had leftovers. The "hush puppies" - we started with these and they were tremendous - melt in your mouth awesomeness.
Good beer selection and then they have a whole array of specialty juices. I guess juicing (legally) is all the rage nowadays. People spend like $500 on juicers and supposedly after a week of juicing, people who are unhealthy and about to die become health gods. We didn't try it, but maybe next time.
Great location in Plaza Midwood, across the street from Bistro La Bon. You might need to park in the big lot in front of Family Dollar and cross busy Central Avenue, but it's worth it. Just don't do it while talking on a cell phone - we saw some girl do this and she dropped her bag and then she almost got hit by a car.
Other items that sounded incredible were the bruschetta appetizer and the Buddha bowl. You'll have to go to Fern to find out what's in it. Nice people working there - very helpful and attentive. This place has been open for a few days and they already had a wait on Friday night.
Great addition to Charlotte.
