I'm sad to write this place isn't what it used to be. Went early on a Saturday evening to have a cocktail and small plates. \n\nI started with the raspberry kombucha Collins. It has gin, which I prefer to whiskey (the other drink they make with kombucha), but it wasn't great. I'm often afraid the fruit added to a cocktail will be overpowering, but in this case, I would not have known there was raspberry in my drink if it hadn't been listed on the menu. I was looking forward to a drink with kombucha, but this just didn't do it for me. \n\nMy husband and I shared 3 items:\n- pickled vegetable salad: I love pickled veg, but this was so terrible I could not eat it. The dish would benefit by having less - a lot less - vinegar. I was surprised when the nearly full bowl was left and I told the waitress I didn't like it that she didn't remove it from our tab or offer to bring something else.\n\n- three cup chicken: it sounds so amazing on the menu, but it's the equivalent of fast food Chinese you might find in an office or school cafeteria. The flavors did not match the description, and the \"chicken\" pieces were shaped like small pellets. Definitely some sort of over processed chicken meat product.\n\n- Middle Eastern plate: this was quite good. I liked the pur\u00e9es, although they were a bit on the stiff side. I really liked what they did with the pita. It had some olive oil drizzled on it and had been in the oven long enough to make it perfectly crispy. That's good stuff! The olives were good as well.\n\nIt's such a distinctive little place, I expect the food quality to be much better. I hope they can kick it up a notch.
