| - This place caught my eye when it first opened, with its vegan options as well as meat options that seemed creative and refreshing. Plus it's in a neighborhood down Lorain that is a little bit off the beaten hipster path further up the street, so I was intrigued.
I brought my vegetarian friend here on Saturday evening, thinking she would appreciate the veggie options. We were the only patrons in the restaurant, but the space itself was very large and pleasant--with a water feature right in the middle.
Our server was personable and friendly, offering recommendations of what to get. Both me and my friend decided to try the "neatballs" after much debate, since I'm usually vehemently opposed to ordering the same entree as my company. At first we thought we'd start with the tamales, but upon the server's recommendation we ordered the street tacos with fried avocado. One minute after ordering, the server came back to tell us that there was only one order of "neatballs" left, so my friend opted to get the portobello entree.
Our food came out, and both of us were underwhelmed by our dishes. My "neatballs" were pretty tasty and came with three, but the brown rice was bland and "avocado sauce" on the plate was strange (and not in a good way). The pickled onion was good, but there was not nearly enough of that. My friend really enjoyed her portobello and it was seasoned very well. However, most of her plate was filled with underseasoned zucchini and basil mashed cauliflower, which she ended up not eating. The server had forgotten to put in our order of the street tacos, and so we waited for our appetizers after finishing our entrees. That was a mistake; these street tacos were by far the lowlight of our experience. They were large tacos, but the fried avocado, jicama slaw, and friend tortilla shell (with a side of that strange, plastic-like avocado sauce) did not work for either of us, taste or texture-wise. We couldn't bring ourselves to finish the tacos.
Also towards the end of our meal, we were distracted by a couple of fruit flies flying around our table, scavenging the leftover food on our plates. My friend and I laughed about this and weren't really bothered by it, but not part of the experience I was hoping for. I really wanted to like this place and see it succeed, but I fear that won't be the case given our dinner here. We likely won't be returning, but have no regrets trying this place out! It was definitely a meal to remember!!
