Party of three for an early lunch. We arrived at 11am and asked for a window seat, we were seated right away. Staff were friendly and service was average. We started with the roasted Brussels sprouts and two of us tried the seasonal butternut squash soup. The Brussel sprouts were fresh and cooked well but they were very salty and the glaze wasn’t what we expected, garlicky and savory. The butternut squash soup was good, probably the favorite dish of the group, described as “pumpkin pie soup” and “tastes like Christmas” perhaps with hints of nutmeg, though it did have a savory base. I got the spaghetti squash casserole. Sometimes spaghetti squash is prepared more like spaghetti, but this dish is was prepared much more like a standard squash. The squash seemed a bit underdone and crunchy, and the dish was lacking salt. Overall, I enjoyed it and would eat it again, but it wasn’t anything special. The rest of our group got the seasonal market salad with grass fed steak and the Korean noodle bowl with steak, medium. The steak was cooked correctly and tender. The salad had a great apple cider vinegar dressing, but way too much of it, and was a good portion. The Korean noodles were a bit too salty and saucy, muting the other flavors, and were NOT sweet like most Korean food. It would have benefited from a cold slaw on top to balance the flavor. Overall, everything was very fresh and high quality, we enjoyed no seed oils or artificial ingredients but the flavors weren’t impressive. Definitely get sauce or dressing on the side. The atmosphere was great, colorful and bright. Bathrooms were clean. Might try again, we’ll have to see.
