Tonight, my spouse and I visited this place for the first time with two friends for dinner after discovering it on Yelp. We had made a reservation for a table on one of their patios. The setting was pleasant, and we were greeted by a very friendly young woman.
While waiting for our friends, our server, Colin, brought my spouse an iced tea, and I ordered a bottle of mineral water. I was surprised to receive a large 1-liter bottle--way more than one person needs. I planned to take the leftover water home, but I think they should consider offering smaller bottles. It's unlikely they'd serve a 2-liter bottle of Coke to one person.
Once our friends arrived, Colin, who was exceptionally friendly and patient, asked if we were ready to order. After our friends ordered their drinks, we shared an appetizer of "Buffalo Style Cauliflower," which everyone enjoyed. It was a bit spicy, but the cool ranch dip made it quite tasty.
For our main courses, my spouse had "Vegan Spaghetti Bolognese," one friend chose "Citrus Herb Charred Chicken," her spouse had the "Organic Garden Salad," and I had the "Pan Roasted Salmon." We also had coffee and tea afterward. Colin pleasantly surprised us with two complimentary "Banana Cream Pies" and even told me to save my coupon, assuring me he'd take care of it. That was very thoughtful of him.
I would have given a 5-star rating, but there were a couple of issues. Despite being accustomed to loud music and actually enjoying it, I found it very distracting to have to shout across the table just to hold a conversation. It felt like the music was turned up too high in the dining area, and it would have been better if the volume had been lower.
Another reason for the 4-star rating was the food. While some dishes were good, mine was lukewarm, and the white potatoes were undercooked, almost like biting into an apple. My spouse was also disappointed with his Vegan Spaghetti. However, Colin's service was excellent, and he did his best to make our experience enjoyable. Unfortunately, given the noise level and the food quality for the price, we probably won't return.
