Limited options and pricy, but not bad
Been looking forward to this place opening. Love the idea of a place that still brings the flavor but keeps the calories down. So was in the area and decided to make the trek to give them a try.
Inside is well decorated. Very festive and open. The menu is a little limited. Chicken and steak for the proteins and rice or salad for the base. I got their high protein bowl to try the most from this location.
The trouble with lean proteins is that there's not a lot of buffer when it comes to texture and flavor. The chicken and beef were a little tough and dry. They needed a different prep method to keep things tender (thin cuts, cooked on order), but they are not built to do that method.
The other ingredients did help in bringing the flavor. Tzatziki was light, pickled onions were sweet and funky, feta was salty, and rice was cooked in what I think is chicken stock. So the components were solid but the star proteins dragged the dish down.
Staff were very friendly. The price was high at about 18 bucks for the bowl, good amount of protein though. If the proteins were done well then it could justify the pricepoint.
Given its location next to a very large gym, this place will probably do well. Needs to vary itself from bowls a little bit. There's a lot of restaurants on this area, and bowls are very common. read more
