3 /5 Miss Val: I came here on a Tuesday afternoon in December with a work group of five people. We had made a reservation ahead of time. We arrived and were seated immediately. The dining room was pretty full.
Our server was with us quickly to provide drinks and menus. She returned within minutes to get our orders. We ordered appetizers and our meals at the same time.
I am estimating that it took 30-40 minutes to be delivered to the table. Our reservation was for 12:15 and I think it was close to 1p when we got them. The appetizers we ordered were Korean dumplings and the butternut squash and Asiago cheese dip. I didn’t eat any of the dumplings and forgot a photo but I had some of the dip. I don’t think it was on purpose, the brioche toast we got with the dip was mostly burnt. The dip itself was good but we really should have sent the bread back. I think we were all just hungry so we didn’t even think about doing that.
Between getting the appetizer and our meals our server and the hostess came by to refill water and sodas. At some point our server told us that a big group had just cleared out so it should be long until we got our meals.
It was 1:40 pm when we got our meals. I ordered a small salad with chicken and a cup of butternut squash soup. The soup was room temp, not hot. I would have sent that back except we didn’t see our server again until everyone else was finished with their meals to see if we needed boxes. I did bring the soup home and warmed it up myself. It was good. The salad was good. My other coworkers all said their food was good as well.
Even though the food was mostly good, I am rating a three due to the amount of time we waited and the lack of communication about that from the server. She was friendly and I know she was busy as was the rest of the service staff. However, when she took our orders she could have set the expectation that it was going to take that long to get anything.
This was my first time here so I don’t know if this is how it usually is for lunch or if this was all holiday lunch gatherings. Regardless, it could have been communicated.
The atmosphere was busy but casual. They have plenty of menu selections for vegans/vegetarians. Prices were comparable to similar places but seemed a little bit higher for lunch. The atmosphere parking lot was pretty busy and that shared with the rest of the strip mall.
