I have heard great things about the healthy and good food at this restaurant, so I was eager to try the West side location on Memorial. We ordered buffalo wings, a turkey focaccia bread sandwich, and trio salad which included the crab salad, fruit salad, and chicken salad. Seating was quick, and we ordered beverages. Ten minutes later we were asked what we chose to drink. My choice, the black current iced tea, was no longer served. But it was still on the menu! Glasses were huge and we did not get a straw. The food took over 30 min. to arrive and the appetizer came out with the meal. The plates were so large they did not fit on our table for two. The wings were bland and limp. The sandwich was okay, but without much flavor. The crab and chicken salads were heavy and were not well seasoned. The fruit salad was one pineapple chunk, a quarter of a strawberry, two grapes and lots of melon which was dry. It appeared to have been sitting out for a while. It was lukewarm, not cold. We asked for to go boxes. These arrived 20 minutes after asking for them, along with a beverage we asked for earlier, and the check. Service was extremely slow. The waiter did not seem to care, as he stood around the front of the restaurant talking with other servers for much of our waiting time. I will not go back. I do not see what people have found so great. It may be healthy, but there are no nutrition charts to see exactly how many carbs or grams of sodium are in each item. I am on a diet for a chronic health condition and hoped to find a good restaurant I can frequent. Sorry to say this one isn't even close..

I wasn't really pleased with this place. They do have really healthy food for an ok price. The pita bread is really yummy I must say. They have some of the best carrot cake I have ever had in my entire life...and that is totally an understatement. If it weren't for the carrot cake I don't really think I would care too much about this place. It is really cute and they have a really wide variety of things on their menu, most of which I find a little bland and I have to add salt and pepper. There are better places to eat in Houston, or just cook at home.
Pros: Healthy choices
Cons: Bland food
