The Westside Local

We were here on mother's day for brunch and it was borderline poor.  First our waitress was on slow motion- really slow motion.  The restaurant was not very busy and yet it took forever to get refills on coffee.  Often we had to flag down another waiter to get refills.  They were out of 2 menu items, the french toast and a chicken dish, so I ordered the waffle.  It came out luke warm and soggy.  The "strawberry compote" was truly frozen strawberries that had been thawed.  For a restaurant that bases their menu off "freshest ingredients and dining experience possible" that was very disappointing.  My friends ordered the veggie hash and grilled cheese, both these dishes were tasty but also served luke warm.  It took forever to get the bill and at this point (despite being mothers day) the restaurant only had a few patrons in it.  Overall, very disappointing.

I have been here to dine on two different occasions. The restaurant is nice but nothing unique. The food is okay but definitely not worth the price. The mac and cheese was fine...but $15 for mediocre mac and cheese is a bit crazy. Service was fine but nothing outstanding. There are definitely better options in the same part of town.

Being both vegetarian and a foodie can be challenging! I tried their winter quinoa, with Brussels sprouts, winter squash, kale, parsnips, walnuts, goat cheese and more and it was PERFECT!  I had fresh fruit (pear, grapes & blueberries) for desert. What a fabulous meal! There is nothing more to say; I was so happy to find this meal!!
