Pretty disappointed with their spaghetti and meatballs for the lunch school program. I really wanted to give this a chance for a healthier option for my child. I messaged them before spending $30 on this with questions about trying to purchase a sample beforehand to make sure he would like it, if there a chunks of tomatoes or onions I knew he wouldn't like it and therefore didn't want to waste all that money. I would be wasting $30 PLUS also having to also give him an extra lunch on that day for month as well so he didn't go hungry. I was told that they do not make it in their restaurant on the menu, therefore I couldn't come in to purchase a sample and I suggested maybe an option for parents with concerns about whether their child would actually eat it or not be able to purchase a sample through the school one time instead of wasting the money for the whole month. I was told they do not offer that and to contact the school and try to set it up, as the school would have to purchase it from them, that's the only way they work. I was also told quote " We do make sure to always keep in mind that children like pretty BASIC foods." Well needless to say there are LARGE CHUNKS of onions and tomatoes throughout, and I don't know very many kids that will eat that. Let alone many adults who have issues with chunks. TWO TINY meat balls and a very small portion of spaghetti definately not worth 7.50 each. Overall very dissatisfied that they don't make it more accessible to sample.
Also ordered a butter cream birthday cake in April and was over $100 and EXTREMELY, sugary not one person at the party would even eat it, including the kids which was a shame after paying that insane amount for it to go in the trash. It looked great, but who cares if no one would eat it.
The Cuban sandwiches are good, but that's...
Read moreMy kidlet and I had dinner at Radical Gardens, and it was sooooo good. We each had the Sweet & Spicy Burger - they were fantastic! There was a mango and pineapple salsa with hot sauce - messy (ask for extra napkins) and I was sorely tempted to lick the leftovers off my plate. (I may have tried, discreetly! lol) The burgers were huge and we had to bring our brownies home for dessert later. I also picked up a couple of packages of their sausage stars.
Service was good. The cook was chatty and it's nice that they engage in conversation with you while you're in there. The Chef told us where everything we were eating actually came from, which was a nice touch. The shared tables are fun too - it really has a strong 'community' vibe. Our bill was about $50 bucks, which really isn't overly expensive considering the quality of the food.
The open space is a great way to connect with the people making the food. You can see that everything they use is fresh and all prepped to order. It's become a...
Read moreCame in here to try some desserts and got a cinnamon bun, chocolate avalanche croissant, Oreo cheesecake and sticky toffee pudding. Cinnamon bun was fresh and tasty; pastry was more flakey and croissant-like, opposed to dense and moist. I also think they could’ve had WAY more icing. Of course these are just personal preferences. The chocolate avalanche was DELICIOUS. Also freshly made and they had pockets of chocolate pieces. My favourite item, for sure. The Oreo cheesecake was alright. Besides the flavour of the Oreo and chocolate ganache layer on top, the cheesecake part was bland. The sticky toffee pudding was, unfortunately, disappointing :( i wanted to love this so badly but the brownie/cake base was incredibly dry and the dollop of cream on top was too dense and rich. They didn’t harmonize eachother well and the amount of cream was overkill. Would have been much better if they soaked the base layer in toffee syrup to keep it moist. Overall a cute little...
