It has been a while since I have been to this neighborhood restaurant. The last time was actually during the SAG-AFTRA union strike, and it was because of that last experience I vowed to never go back (it was a whole thing, trust me...I even wrote the regional operations manager!!!).....
BUT, here I am...again....Hey, I believe in second (and sometimes third) chances, right????? LOL
So....
Off to Granville, my daughter and I went. I was craving a plant based burger, and I remembered Granville had a very tasty one!!!
We arrived to be greeted by a very pleasant host. The place was only about 20% full, but for context, it was in the middle of the day (about 3pm), so not exactly happy hour.
The waiter was nice, and no problems with customer service as far as that goes. I did ask what oil they serve their food in...(wait for this answer!!!)...
So, apparently, the food is sometimes olive oil and sometimes canola oil. Then he said that my burger was 70% olive oil and 30% canola oil???? Uhhhhh....Ok????
My daughter ordered the Poke bowl, and my burger came with homemade potato chips. The plant based burger was amazing in taste. The sauce was pretty good. The bun soft and the pickles fresh. However, the potato chips weren't my favorite. There was no flavor and the texture threw me off, even for homemade chips. My daughter ordered liked here poke bowl and she loved her chamomile tea. I ordered a honey green tea which was also good. We also ordered brussel spouts that had sliced almonds and a vinegar based tasting sauce which was decent.
The restaurant was pretty cold and being that it was cold outside, they could have turned the air down just a little. There also was a seat that had a rip
In it, and the floors were a little dirty, and this was build up dirt, and not the kind of dirt that was recent (see pics).
Overall, this experience was just "okay". Unfortunately, it's not enough to keep me coming back.
Maybe, in the future I will give Granville another chance (a third time is a charm right?)..... This time I will give them a 3.3 out of 5 :)
