The veggie platter had cucumbers, crostini, and tortilla chips with guacamole, spinach hummus and vegan queso. the guacamole and hummus was really good while the vegan queso tasted more like salsa versus queso. the chips also came out of a bag and would've been better if they were fresh. the crostini were alright with nice portion size but a little less fresh. good portion and decent flavor but some items were better than others

It was too spicy for me, but I could definitely appreciate it. Kind of like a quality shrimp cocktail sauce drink? Weird but good. Mostly salty/savory! Calm Collins: I'm not sure if I felt calm or not after this, but I enjoyed the drink nonetheless. Kind of like an arnold palmer, not too sweet or tangy. On the Wagon: Tastes just as described, though I think this one had dried lemon instead of candied ginger. A nice sipper, especially if you enjoy ginger drinks. 3 Sisters Salad: I love a Mendocino Farms Quinoa Kale salad (which I would order over most delicious junk food options), but this is likely my second favorite salad. The dressing is light and flavorful, slightly sweet, ever so slightly tangy. The puffed wild rice provided an excellent texture, very similar to crunchy quinoa. The chickpeas and corn added a savory and sweet mildly chewy texture. We added the trout and it was excellent on its own. Crispy skin, perfectly cooked and salted. Pan Roasted Chicken: I was surprised there was only one bone in this! The meat was tender and juicy, well cooked. I can't remember exactly how it tasted because we scarfed it down so fast, but trust that it was good. Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie: You can't have a meal without dessert. The pie filling is similar to halva - sweet, soft, light and fine. Great to share between two, but would also be excellent for one...

I've come here twice and I haven't been disappointed yet…read more There's so many choices that it might be a bit overwhelming but everyone is very helpful with suggestions. If you want to try something new or if you want to stick by your old favourites, there's something for everyone. The first time I was here, I decided to try something new. I had the seitan platter which was the perfect introduction. The seitan was cooked in four different styles so it was great to see which type you like. The second time, I just had a seitan appetizer which looked like a good imitation of roasted duck but it had a smooth texture and it was flavoured well. Keep in mind that the portions after the appetizers are big. You can either share it or have some to yourself but regardless, there is a chance you might take some home. No complaints though. Both times I have ordered fried rice with different toppings that are mixed in with the rice. I love the way they make this because they don't cook it like other restaurants where they fry the rice and you feel bloated and heavy. Zen' drive is cooked perfectly so you don't taste that fried feeling and though you will get that filled feeling, you won't feel lethargic after. I also order tea both times. My recommendation is the rose tea. The teapot is so small and cute but you can smell the tea and it leaves you feeling relaxed. Side tidbit: the place is a legit house but they converted it into a restaurant. They kept some of the features like a fireplace that give it a cozy/homey feel. It is such a cute and ingenious way to go about a restaurant business.

The appetizers (calamari, mozza sticks, and wings) were great! Very solid choices although personally the wings (medium) were a little too sweet for us. Service was ok but the waitress did seem a bit stressed. The mains, however, were a bit disappointing. The burgers were just ok, my halloumi in the halloumi salad was burnt (although the salad itself was great), and the children's cheese sandwich was also burnt. The fish & chips were very oily. Usually I really want to like and rate local establishments well as I am a local myself, but burnt food is a no-no and unfortunately with kids I don't really have the time to ask for a remake. Great vibes for a good beer though.

Let me just say yum. Not sure if these ingredients are actually good but they taste pretty tasty…read more The soup was creamy and the bread fresh and buttery. The butternut taste was spot on and it was super comforting. The pizza was pretty good: the crust very pillowy and the sauce meh. The actual like main dough was super thin which was strange but tasted kinda good. We also got a slice of cake that was super rich and triple chocolate. The food was pretty good and I will say taste around the same as like 3 years ago. Our server, Brendan, was pretty nice and we did get our food very quickly considering how busy it was. I will say that they put their freaking cook book everywhere. It is on. The tables and in the decor( which is pretty nice). Like I would honestly say maybe tone it down a little wow. I just wonder are those actually real or are the like just covers cause they have about 1 million just sitting around. So pretty much that and the price is what takes off a star. So we actually came in their anniversary and got like a slightly cheaper version but the normal prices are not cheap. It's not that bad just inflation I guess
