The
positive things about this new restaurant are the service and the
dining room in addition to the eye catching lit up sign over the counter
spelling out KITCHEN!
They seem to have gone via the new fad of the
customer coming up to the counter. ordering, paying and then sitting
down with your food served by the cashier.
I do not know about 'healthy food' only if food tastes good or not, but this place seems to go way overboard with their prices.
We
started off with Artichoke Fries servd with a citrus sauce on the side.
They are spicy, which I like, but the portion is way too small for $6.
It was sort of adding insult to injury when we got our main course with a
'side' of pickled veggies. Sorry but no way is that a side of
veggies--they were served in a very small cup that normally butter or
cocktail sauce would be served in. A side would either be on the plate
or in a monkey dish which would have consisted of more than a teaspoon
of veggies.Okay the fries didn't taste healthy which, in a way, made
them taste good to me.
Allen had a Berry Blast (strawberry, banana,
blueberry) smoothie ($6) and I had an Exoctic Refresh (coconut,
pineapple and banana) smoothie ($6)--there was a note about 'make it a
combo and get a smoothie for $5 but I let it go.
For our main course I
had the Chic Which ($12) and Allen had the Steak Which ($12) with that
teaspoon of veggies. Next time put a piece of fresh parsley or basil.
The organic ezekiel sprout bread was delicious. The free range chicken
breast with  'balsamicmaui onion, cured tomatoes, arugula mayo and
melted brie (though I didn't see or taste any of the latter) on the
sprout bread was tasty but that $12 price is too much. Allen said
nothing about his sandwich which isn't a good sign.
We decided to
share a banana split ($7) which came with blueberries, strawberries, a
banana, chocolate syrup and with, what is says on the menu, vanilla ice
cream. It tasted more like ice milk and/or ice refrozen a few times.
All
in all the check came to $61.95, including tax, and with the groupon
deduction of $16 the total was $45.94, far too much for what we got.
At these prices there should be full table service.
I
have only been to one other 'health food' restaurant--the vegan
restaurant Sublime which I, also, found overpriced--and I wonder if
eating healthy means dying broke?
