It's nice to have a healthy, plant based restaurant option in town. Having said that, the food is just OK. Wondering why I'm still giving it 4 stars? Well, I am a vegetarian, cook 3 meals at home everyday and I frankly enjoy my food way more. But I don't want to compare it to mine, so I'm giving them a higher rating just for trying to accommodate a mass audience's palette. People expect healthy food to be bland and that's pretty much what you get. The food needs some more flavor and love.
Here's what we ordered and what I think they need help with:
-Vegan Sushi- really good! no complaints
-Moroccan tagine (Casablanca)- Most of my veggies, especially the eggplant and sweet potatoes were undercooked. Just a few more minutes to steam/sautee them would have been great. I am also part Moroccan and this really doesn't taste like a couscous dish in terms of spices.
-Portobello sliders- To replicate a meaty burger/slider, I think they should use an entire portobello mushroom as opposed to them thinly sliced. There wasn't enough "meat" for the doughy bun. Needs more sauce as well.
-Starter dumplings- There's a smokey cayenne powder taste in them. Not a fan of that.
-Jamaican punch- pretty good but I think they should describe the expected flavor because not many people know what Jamaican spice tastes like.
The service was wonderful. Very attentive waiters. They were really on point.
I will go back at some point and hopefully have a TASTIER experience.
Please use this as Constructive criticism.
