• I wanted to love it

Went in with high hopes due to the reviews. But for some reason my experience was different than most other reviews. On the positive note, the portions were reasonable. Granted, it isn't American sized where they serve you twice the amount of food you should be eating, but I am full off one entree of pumpkin spaghetti. The presentation wasn't anything spectacular, yet was pleasing to the eye. I arrived at 1 pm and was the only customer ordering. Everyone else had their food. I was expecting a 30 to 40 minute wait due to reading the other reviews, but was pleasantly surprised by my food arriving in under 10 minutes. . I had to admit, I was again surprised by the pumpkin noodles. They looked like regular spaghetti noodles and had the color like it had about a 30% whole wheat content. The texture was closer to gluten free noodles,yet they seem to have more structure holding it together. I was happy with them especially since I'm on a diet. Alas, my good news ends here. The taste of the food was either unpleasant to grotesque. The noodles were tasteless as could be expected, yet the sauce was unpleasant. I do suspect some white sugar in it as my body craved to eat every morsel of the sauce, even though my tongue and nose were protesting everytime I lick the bowl clean. For the sake of adventure, I tried the fern greens. Thank goodness I wasn't on a business meeting or with a foreign dignitary as I didn't have a napkin and my tongue instantly rejected them. Slightly chewed, they came roaring out of my mouth. I love most odd tastes in life, but this will never become even an acquired taste of mine. (And I'm the guy that will inhale a ripe durian because it smells so lovely to me) The pineapple juice was watered down and sugar was added. Almost uncontrollably I gulped it down due to the white sugar added. I wasn't happy with the food experience. I sit here with a nasty aftertaste in my mouth while being soothed by the most wonderful sounds of a distant waterfall and an acoustic guitar. I wanted to love this place, but due to my experiences with the food I just can't recommend it.
