The name "Flower Child" is interesting enough. I will say, the decor was enlightening, or at least felt like a good place to be. Thr wait staff, very kind and helpful. You order at the counter, but the pay system expects or is programmed to pre pay the Tip. I say, that this is kind of pre conceited to expect a tip when the service has not been performed yet. It must be earned.
Anyway, after you order, you take a table number to an open table seat. If you order a drink along with a meal, they will prepare and give your order at the table. As foe te food, I ordered a Chicken Enchilada bowl. According to what I was told, the symbols on the menu with flower is a new limited item. Of the ingredients, the chicken was cooked right with some obvious seasoning and a red sauce. The cheese melted on top of the Enchilada was melted just right and enough to get a cheese pull upon cutting a piece. This particular bowl had both, a cream and the red sauce. Took me a little of getting used to it as a acquired taste.
My recommendation is eat a little asomethjng if you choose a bowl because of a less than expected serving size for a $12 meal. Oneself I got a bigger serving size froma Gyro place but then again, they had a platter with multiple protein s and sides to add for a plate meal. The plate might be a bigger portion size than a bowl.
I also Rate this establishment 4 stars due to the fact they do not honor Military or Veterans with a discount, especially for the high price food than let's say a fast a world wide chain of weinerschnitezel where the food is ple ty an they jnor Veterans ans Military. Although consider the fresh ingredients this place was cooking up,...
