I had high hopes when I saw a couple of reviews that said this was a vegetarian friendly restaurant, but ended up being pretty disappointed when I realized the vegetarian options were extremely limited (a portobello grilled cheese, some sides, and salads)
The service was great when we walked in. Wish I remembered the waitresses name, she was so friendly and helpful with ordering drinks. However, our server switched sometime between ordering drinks and ordering food, and the new guy told us the other server "had to go". He was much less helpful, didn't seem like he actually wanted to wait on us, and smelled like an ashtray.
We ordered a cheese board to start, and while it wasn't terrible, it was "meh" at best and just kind of disappointing for almost $20. The cheeses were all one note -Smokey. I was excited about the one that looked like a whipped goat cheese, but when I took a bite it literally tasted like cheez whiz (you know, from a can) and this bright red crunch "bacon bits" that aren't even really bacon. My husband and I both ordered salads. I got the citrus berry salad and he got the avocado kale salad. He also added a cup of the lamb vegetable soup. Like the cheese board, the salads were not bad. The ingredients were all fresh, but they just weren't $12 salads. My husband really liked the soup, though. He's vegetarian along with me 85-90% of the time, and even when he does eat meat he usually does not like lamb. But he said the flavor wasn't overpowering and the texture was really tender and more like a roast.
I really wanted to like this place more than I did. I love supporting small businesses, and all the local art on the walls was a nice touch ... but this just wasn't worth it for me.
