Chive — Restaurant in Ellwood City

Vonman here with some IMPORTANT news on CHIVE - RUN don't walk to this amazing eatery. I first became acquainted with Chive at an event I was hosting. There were over 20 other restaurants represented at the event, and CHIVE stole the show. However, it wasn't until I actually visited the place on not ONE, not two, do you get the picture? MANY OCCASIONS! The wraps are by FAR the best wraps in the tri-state area. I am NOT a fan of typical wraps; however you can't go wrong with ANY of their wraps - steak, chicken, turkey, shrimp, BYO and my personal favorite (pork shoulder). This wrap took me to HEALTHY HOG HEAVEN. The top shelf locally farmed pork shoulder was wrapped in pickled slaw, carrots, queso fresco, cilantro, with this amazing chili-lime dressing. Not only is the "meat" the main player but the entire wrap is perfectly devised to satisfy BOTH the healthy eater and the big eater like me. As a personal trainer, this is the ONLY eatery I can recommend to anyone from a health and hearty standpoint. I haven't even gone there about the salads and bowls- they are scrumptious. The place is clean as a pin and they way they have their take-out service set up is second to none. You don't believe me? Check out their online menu. Oops, I almost forgot about the chips and salsa - they are the BEST side order going. My hat is OFF to CHIVE in fact, after eating there, I can still take my shirt off at the...

I had Chive twice this week and both times were amazing. Me and my wife loved the dishes! They use really fresh ingredients, the place is very clean, and the young chefs always have a great attitude. I ordered a Buffalo Chicken Wrap made to perfection. Today, I ordered the Pisces Salad and it was the best Salmon salad I've had. Their vegetables are grown very well and are fresh, as I am a chef for a living. He uses a variety of ingredients that are simple, but beautiful dishes, that bring many great healthy flavors! I tilt my hat to the chef at this place! Great job and keep it up! We will always be coming back! It's our new favorite place in Ellwood.

Oh yea, today my wife again ordered an BYOB and they forgot to add the chipotle aioli sauce, but it was no big deal!...

Unfortunately, Chive is the only real option for healthy takeout in the area. They are consistently INCONSISTENT. For every 2 times I've had a good experience, I've had 1 equally unpleasant experience from undercooked food (solid raw grains, shrimp that made me ill) to ingredients (including the main protein of the dish) being completely left off of the order. Every time I decide to give them another chance, it's the same story. One or two good orders then back to undercooked or missing ingredients. I reached out to the store after my most recent order was again, egregiously botched. I was told a manager would follow up in the morning. That did not happen. Knowing they corner the market as the only real healthy option around town, it appears they only take JUST...
