Oh, sweet, sweet Nourish... I wanted to love you with all my heart. I truly did. As a paleo fanatic who has been all but confined to the makings of my own kitchen due to auto-immune issues, I cherish the thought of dining at paleo-friendly establishments. But all too often, the promises fall short & my wallet is left considerably lighter, with nothing but disappointment in my little heart. :(
I ordered the Glass noodle bowl with added chicken. I was so excited. A full meal I could tear into without endless substitutions or worrying about the oils used in prep? I'M SO FRIGGIN EXCITED. My food arrived within a reasonable amount of time (I was one of 2 tables, so that's always nice) & I gleefully dug in. Then, sadness. Only disappointment & sadness. The food was bland, no spices, no seasonings, nothing. The peppers lacked flavor & the carrots were undercooked & bland. I almost wept at the table. One, for my tastebuds & secondly, for my wallet. I'm all about paying for an amazing meal, even willing to cough up a premium. But this was drab & unremarkable.
I honestly want to take back some seasoning mixes and/or sauces to the chefs/decision makers & go, "Hey! It doesn't have to be like this! You can both delight the tastebuds & nourish the body at the same time!" -I mean, I've learned a thing or two preparing 98% of my own meals over the past 3 years & that one thing has been SEASONING IS IMPORTANT & SPICES ARE AMAZING.
The one thing I can say that was a positive: My tummy didn't hurt after the meal & I had no headaches (this is the typical aftermath of any normal restaurant experience which is why I avoid them). So for that, I do thank you. This restaurant is a step in the right direction, I would love to see them expand the menu, the locations & the flavors. But holy hell, flavor needs to be a priority for a gal like me to come back.
