The restaurant is now located on admiral. New location and new spaces. We had really high expectations because the outside seating was large and well spaced. The building looked fantastic, bigger and more impressive. The blue color really made the place stand out. Wild Oats has never been a low cost experience but in the new location we had high expectations. We figured lower operating costs or own location and out from the hidden old corner with limited parking in the middle of town.

Are you used to premium products and premium pricing? Do you buy Apple Products because they work and the packaging makes you feel like you bought a premium product? Well, Wild Oats has the premium pricing figured out. We ordered two quiches. I was expecting a deep dish quiche and a generous helping but what we got was more like a quiche pancake probably about 4oz in weight. It was tasty and flavorful. We also ordered the Tso cauliflower it was limp and floury tasting mostly sauce not so much cauliflower. It felt old —not fresh. The final insult was that we paid $9 for a cream puff and it was put in the bag chocolate frosting side down so the chocolate was stuck to the bag when we opened it. All in all for two quiches 2 coffees small cauliflower and 1 cream puff we paid $49. I never mention what I pay at a restaurant usually because I feel if you can’t afford it don’t go. However, I think it is important for folks to know there is no alignment between quality and quantity of food and it’s presentation, packaging, and customer service. The coffee wasn’t any better than Dunkin Donuts and for the cream puff I could have bought a dozen eclair at Dunkin Donuts and they don’t serve them chocolate side down. To be honest the chocolate quality between the two restaurants is incomparable, Wild Oats chocolate is much better but who would eat a dozen eclair. The packaging was sad and new way of shopping and waiting to pay while your warm food sits at a window beyond the cash registers just misses the mark. Our hot quiches were cold by the time we got to them. If this were an operating system I would say it was a downgrade. Avoid WildOats unless you just want to make a statement and drop some cash. Much better places in town for eats.
