Having heard many fantastic reviews, I was eager to make the 40 minute trek from Old Town to Fresh Mint for some delicious vegetarian food. However, after my experience, I can confidently say that I wouldn't come back to this restaurant even if it were 5 minutes away. To begin, the place was empty and our server was sitting at a table reading a book when we walked in. She seemed peeved that we were there, and dropped the menus on the table without a single greeting. After taking our order (pad thai and colorful vegetables) she went behind the counter and played on her phone for the entire duration of our visit. Not fantastic service. In terms of the food: The sauce in both dishes was too sweet to eat, and the food was just bland and lacked flavor. I had to yell across the restaurant to get my server's attention for sriacha, and when she brought it to the table, there was only a teaspoon of sriacha in the ramekin. Now, I frequent many restaurants and I myself work in the industry, so I know what good food and good service is. Fresh Mint lacked in both of these areas. It's a shame.
