I stopped in for brunch expecting all kinds of on-the-healthy-side-of delights given the top-notch ratings for multiple locations across Indy. The place was buzzing and has a friendly staff, although presumed 22% tips for counter service seems aggressive. I waited tables for 6 years and it's hard work, but we earned our gratuity by attending to tables, not building in overhead prior to delivering service, much less from a counter. This is a sad trend I've seen post-Covid with some businesses wanting to cost-share living wages for their staff with patrons, which turns out to be unfair to both parties. BOO!
I ordered the Hoosier Medley "Salad" which should drop the final misnomer because there is no salad. For $20, you too could have a medley of corn, cucumber, (mostly) red onion, 2 bites of avocado, and tomatoes tossed in bland vinaigrette topped with crumbled salmon. Mine was missing feta, so the friendly staff tossed me some arugula which added some lovely spice. The veggies were off the farm fresh and crisp.
I'd like to chalk it up to ordering the wrong thing? They earned their extra star with the cold-pressed juice. Although pre-bottled (does make for an easy grab & go), the Neon Nectar was crisp & balanced, I swear I could feel it working away those morning sniffles. Would return for juice!
