As much hype surrounds this now popular chain of restaurants, I always find something not quite spot on during my visits.
- The portions are very sizeable for the price (yes you pay $15 but you could easily split the regular-sized salads or bowls into two meals)
- My favourites have so far been the quinoa onion rings and the crispy squash tacos - both very delicious and consistently good
- The new phytosalad is delish (the 369 dressing is mmm) but the soba noodles were overcooked in my opinion (they aren't suppose to be soggy..) and for some reason they served this dish on a plate..Perhaps I'm just being picky but I do think dish choice is important to consider for dining experience. It's a great salad but it should be in a bowl like all the others!
- I saw a strange bug on my taco's lime today eep! :S Thankfully I don't really need lime for my tacos but that is a little bit gross to encounter (I wish it was because the lime was so fresh from the garden!)
- Unfortunately I'm not a big fan of Fresh smoothies or juices... I've gotten a number of different ones and they are always lacking balance in flavours. The only one I can actually recommend would be The Daily Dose cold-pressed juice (the beet, fennel and himalayan salt is a unique but refreshing taste). The lemonade is way too lemony and no way my stomach could handle drinking the full 16oz.
In general though Fresh is a great option in most of the neighbourhoods it resides in for when you want to eat-out but be a bit more healthy conscious.
