• So so Sunday Brunch

Glad Soul Vegetarian offers a filling mostly vegan (serves honey) Sunday brunch in Atlanta's west end neighborhood. Disappointed that the taste and quality of the food is not as delicious & flavorful as it has been on previous visits. Tofu scramble was good, though only lightly seasoned, made munch better by adding the season-all condiment. The seasoned potatoes with onions, garlic & bell peppers were excellent, crisply tender wedges sautéed without being greasy. Good cheese grits, lightly seasoned, no lumps. Flaky biscuits, though only lukewarm. Broccoli was over cooked, somewhat mushy & cold despite being on the buffet warming tray under lights. Sausage patty/vegetable croquet was only lightly seasoned, yet moist & tasty. Also available, but not tried, were pancakes. Service was spotty; had to ask for water. Procedure for buffet not posted; what was included, what was extra, had to ask about pricing, food was not labeled, where to pay, beverages/water & whether to serve oneself or whether waitstaff would bring to table. Also, trays for carrying food not replenished. Someone unfamiliar with vegan food might have been discouraged by lack of posted labels. Limited hours for Sunday brunch, 10am-1pm, & our 12pm arrival may have accounted for the food not being warm, if it had been sitting out for a while. Still it was under lights on warming trays. Should not have affected the flavor, though. Plan to revisit restaurant next visit to area to sample other menu items and find out if what was once known as "Atlanta's best mac & cheese" is still worthy of the title. Parking an issue, less so on Sunday when on street parking is available.
