• Disappointing

I was excited to try this place from the menu online, but unfortunately I was really disappointed in the execution. We got the hearts of palm "mozzarella" sticks, fried artichoke hearts, eggplant parmesan sandwich, and portabella bacon chili cheese burger. The hearts of palm were like they weren't even drained and tasted like hearts of palm straight out of the can. Which I like, and I'll put on a salad at home (after draining and rinsing), but not what I was expecting for "mozzarella" sticks. I make stuff out of hearts of palm at home, and you can't tell that I've used hearts of palm (same thing with carrot dogs, for example... you're not supposed to bite into and say, "oh, look, a plain carrot"). The ranch was also bland and didn't taste like ranch... it was more like plain, watered down v-mayo; practically no herbs in it. The fried artichoke hearts were pretty good from what I recall. Greasy, but okay as an appetizer. But I can't make a meal out of those. The eggplant parmesan was greasy and flavorless. I'm okay with unhealthy food now and then if it tastes good, but this was bland grease. I'm almost certain they used the Dominex frozen, thin, fried eggplant cutlets, and if they didn't, then they've done a good job of replicating the frozen supermarket quality. Not what I was expecting at all. My big problem with the burger probably comes down to personal taste. The "bacon" was marinated in *so much* anise that it had an overwhelming licorice taste that permeated every other ingredient and it made the entire thing unpalatable for me. My partner did really enjoy his coffee with ice cream. I do agree with the other post that it was a little disappointing seeing real honey in about half the flavors of ice cream. And I agree with the other reviews that say the service is a bit slow and uninterested.
