| - 3.5 Star Rating. Really healthy, really vegetarian, and really well plated. But why 3.5 star you may ask? Two mains + one coffee + one dessert came out to $50 at a self serve restaurant. Is it just me or does that strike me as a bit pricy for the set-up? To be honest I can't put my finger on if it's going for the healthy fast food alternative or the sit down dine-in. It felt like a dine and dash so I'm not sure where to peg this restaurant. I'm more a herbivore, than a carnivorous t-Rex in the hunt for the next meat plate that can be torn off the bone, but it just wasn't that leafy or tasty.
The food was very healthy and well plated, but not as good as it looks. I felt like a cow chewing on grains and my jaw was sore after a couple of bites of freek-eh (Wheat cereal that's freaky hard to chow on). The Hercules salad bowl has a strong curry flavor but the texture was very rough and one dimensional in taste. Sprouts were too over grown which again added to the rough and beastly texture of the bowl. No wonder it's called Hercules and not Aphrodite.
The pizza was much tastier in comparison. Though not even close to the ones I've had in Rome and Naples. Crust was crispy, dressing drizzled over was also overpowering in taste and took away the art of it all. At least there was more variety and an array of different flavors with different bites. Dessert was good but grainy.. And it was supposed to be a Black Forest cake/pudding.
Great food presentation though one recommendation for this place is work on food texture, but love the concept of providing a healthy/organic/vegetarian alternative. Service was great- Kevin was very helpful, patient, and attentive. Place was clean, spacious, and inviting. Overall a good experience but can't say I'm a huge fan of the food.
