Welp! This isn't what I was expecting! With a place holding the Beatrix name, I was expecting a little less salad bar, hummus bar, yogurt bar, hot food bar, and more like and order and get a fast casual meal made by someone else. They have that for a pizza spot, but i went ahead and made a salad for myself. It reminded me of what Whole Foods does for salad and hot food bars. Because my expectations were such, I give it a 4 star review.
This isn't to say what they do is bad. It's actually opposite. The salad bar was clean and the veggies looked crisp and fresh. The hot food bar looked the same. They do have a fridge with ready made snacks and drinks. My salad wasn't Whole Foods pricey, which also helps.
They have a coffee bar and some lounge seating upstairs, but if you make your way downstairs, there are tables for you to sit at, away from the hustle and bustle on Jackson. They also have a liquor bar (not self serve, sorry folks). There are wet wipes ready to go for you to wipe your tables. I'd much prefer someone up-keeping that for me instead, but such is life. It's a cozy environment and trendy with good music coming from the speakers and BBC (?) playing on the TV. Yea, I don't get why they chose BBC either, but who cares. I was watching my shirt to make sure I didn't get any dressing on it. It's hard to keep white shirts clean. UGH!
It's a good place to grab a salad or whatever quick food you want and not too expensive. I'll go try the original fancy shmancy Beatrix at a later date.
