| - Wow. I wish I had the pictures from the night we were here to add to this review.
PEEEYEEEEWWWWW
We went to try this place out as there would be Vegan options, it looked kind of upscale (so we dressed up) and was something new. I think it might have been a week night, summertime and the windows were open so a great space for people watching. The restaurant was nearly empty.
Walked in, 3 people standing at the door just stared blankly back at us and finally someone acknowledged us after about 2-3 minutes. They sat us by the window on a couple of stools.
No menus fro 5 minutes. No water, no one came to see us. Bear in mind the restaurant was EMPTY except for one party of about 6.
Finally, we had to get up and ask for a menu. 5 more minutes, still no one. We had to get up again and ask for a waiter.
When our waiter finally arrived (sorry to judge but this is a pricey restaurant) he was missing a lot of his teeth, the ones he did have were blackened and he smelled like smoke. I think he might have been from France...had a french-type accent. He was kind of aloof, took our drink orders and then 10 more minutes went by before we received drinks.
We placed our order for about 5 dishes...which he said would be "more than enough" for the two of us.
Let me make a long story short; LITERALLY 6 PIECES OF ASPARAGUS and 1 section of grapefruit for $12-15USD is NOT ok. This is not an organic restaurant...even then that would be robbery. It was slapped on a plate ( i do have this shot posted on my instagram) and just dumped in front of us with 0 care and attention.
3 shrivelled, dry, tasteless portobello mushroom caps stuck on bamboo skewers also do not command that same pricing.
This place is too big for it's britches and needs a reality check. If you're going to price your food to pay for your rent in an upscale location, you need to provide value for the cost. This place does not.
Two big, angry, ripped off thumbs down.
