| - Let me start by saying I am NOT a vegan, but the opening of this restaurant intrigued me. I've been here a few of times since it's opened and their biggest flaws only seem to be that they are a new restaurant and need time to get things perfect.
I took my daughter with me both times (despite her saying that she really doesn't want Vegan food). She's too young to understand Vegan, and I think it's healthy for her to at least understand the different dietary preferences that strongly exist in our modern culture today.
The first time I went I ordered the Hippie Chick burger. I was a little shocked by how small it was BUT I was so full after I ate it, I was actually glad it wasn't bigger. I ordered it with mashed potatoes which I wasn't sure I would love, but was pleasantly impressed by! The gravy was perfectly seasoned and the mash was creamy. I also ordered the Beet Goes On juice. It was delicious! My daughter ordered a pineapple mint juice but they were out of mint that day, so the server recommended another mixture: pineapple, orange and a little bit of ginger. She LOVED it and drank it all. For her entree she ordered a kids burrito (No Meato Bandito) which was way too big and she said was very very boring. She packed it up to go but she didn't finish it at home either.
The next time we stopped in I brought my boyfriend who wasn't really hungry but really wanted a smoothie / fresh juice. He ordered 2 smoothies to try: Amazon Rocket Fuel and Green Lava. I loved both of them. Haven't found a disappointing drink selection on the menu yet. Hi-five!
For my entree I had the teriyaki tofu bowl (Love Bowl), which didn't taste anything like teriyaki to me. It was still good, but not great. I don't think I will order that dish again. My daughter ordered the Spaghetti and Meatballs, which she said was good, but she hardly made a dent. Their kids portion sizes are really big. She took it home, but again didn't finish it. I prefer kids portions to be just enough. It's hard for them to eat leftovers when the rest of the family doesn't have left overs as well.
I stopped in for my 3rd try tonight. I was dining solo so I walked in the door and stood there for a minute before any of the staff noticed me. A girl behind the counter said "hi..." and I signaled at her that I was dining alone (party of 1). She nodded at me but left me there standing while the rest of the restaurant stared at me. Awkward! She disappeared to the back for a minute and thought she was possibly going to find another staff member to help up front, but instead came out with 2 plates which she delivered to the table I was standing next to (still waiting to be seated). She dropped the food off to them, asked if they needed anything else, and then walked to the back again. After those 5 awkward minutes, I left. If a half full restaurant means I won't even be seated, I don't think I'll be waited on with any urgency. I guess I'll be back again another time. For now, overall rating is a 3.5, with a heavy weighing on tonight's experience of not even being seated.
