We went to this restaurant about a year and a half ago and it was totally fine. We were in the neighborhood recently and decided to stop back in and it was a disaster.



So, this is a restaurant that advertises itself as "Baltimore's Best Vegetarian" and organic and crunchy and hippie. Should have been perfect for me, the vegetarian, and my family, right? But, unfortunately, the food was mediocre at best, they were out of all vegetarian options, and the service was as bad as possible.



I should have taken a hint when a young man butted in front of us as we were about to order with a plate full of food and said, "I ordered the guacamole and chips." They said that WAS the guacamole and chips. He said, "There are no chips." They said, "We've been out of chips all week."



I ordered the Avocado Tofu Wrap. They had no tofu. (Hello? Best vegan restaurant has no tofu?) So I ordered the Avocado/Hummus sandwich (Avocado Powerhouse Wrap). My husband ordered some barbequed meat sandwich which he said was terrible and my girls split a grilled cheese which was okay (though it came on rye and we asked for whole wheat.) We also ordered two smoothies to drink (pina colada and avocado). The food came, but no drinks, in what seemed like a reasonable amount of time. We started to eat, and I took a bite of my sandwich and it was just mediocre avocado on bread with a few shredded carrots. Terrible and bland. I went to the counter and told them they forgot the hummus. They said, "We're out of hummus." I tasked how they could be out of tofu, hummus, and chips when there is a Trader Joe's down the street. The lady shrugged. I told her they needed to tell me this up front, since the sandwich is $9 and advertised with hummus. She offered to put guacamole on it for me. (Guacamole on an avocado sandwich?) I told her to forget about it and asked her which vegetarian sandwich they actually had all the items for. None. So I asked for my money back. My husband and kids finished their meals. Still no drinks of any sort. I went to the counter and said we needed our drinks and my money back. No luck. Finally, was we packed the kids up and were about to get int he car, I got the money back. Still no drinks. As I was about to ask for the money back for the two smoothies, they made them. The pina colada was okay, but the avocado one was disgusting.



Through all of this, there was no apology. The woman even rolled her eyes at me when I complained about the lack of hummus on the sandwich. As a vegetarian for 20 years, I have come to love little places like this, and can forgive a lot just because they have options for people like me. But this was a disaster and they were nasty. Stay away.
