• Vegan to vegan

I wouldn't spend another dollar there if you gave me the money and offered to pick me up. I took my wife to dinner at Evolve on a Groupon before heading to see a show. The store randomly opened one hour later than its posted time. Okay, stuff happens. We killed time and went back... Only to discover that half of the menu wasn't available. Okay, fine. It's a small vegan joint. We're just happy to give it our support. We waited a good twenty minutes to order even though we were two of maybe five people in the whole place. So we sat at the bar. "Can I have an Old Fashioned?" "What's that?" "Okay, how about a Manhattan?" "How do you make it?" Whatever. Just give me a whiskey. We ordered the fabled mac n cheese, and we were told that it's now an entree and not a side. There were two of us, so we'd happily share the dish. It came out - no joke - 30-40 minutes later, and while it was the size of an ice cream scoop, we were told it was a $12 entree. No. That's not how entrees work. We explained to owner/manager Dr Barruch - whom I'm pretty sure is slightly less of a doctor than Dre and J put together - that we weren't hot on this new non-entree, entree business. He told us how the mac n cheese is his best-selling item but that he's lost money on it for 8 years. (?) Then he tells us that he's not making money on the Groupon. (?) Next, he gets hostile. "Are you telling me how to run my business?" No, dude. I'm your target demographic - a vegan who drinks and has a couple bucks to go out - and I'm telling you that my experience is unpleasant. We decide to leave. I use the restroom only to return to my wife standing outside. "He told me to get the f out." Are you kidding? It's a shame, man. I want to love this place. That was our third visit - second, consecutive bad time - and there won't be a fourth. Know your customers. Appreciate your customers.
