text: Despite the raving reviews this place got on Yelp, I can't say that I was impressed with my experience there. \n\nThis afternoon I decided to pop by the Larder and, I must admit, my expectations were high. Inside it was lovely, but nearly empty (hey, more room for me!). However, I was greated by the waitress in a very indifferent manner, I kinda felt as if I was disturbing her cleaning/packaging routine.\n\nThe service was kind of lackadasical but I didn't mind much anticipating great food. Well, that's where I was very disappointed. Don't get me wrong, the food was okay (no hairs in it, no dust on it), kind of. It just wasn't great. I had the pumpkin and goatcheese fritata which came with salad on the side. The fritata was ... well, ... bland really. There is no other word for it. The \"salad\" on the side was dressed with olive oil, that's it. No vinegar, nothing, just olive oil.\n\nThe food wasn't horrible, it was just a severe case of \"I could do this ten times better at home\". What annoyed me was that the plate looked as if someone had spent a great deal of time thinking of what would look pretty, but forgot to actually taste the food for seasoning and flavour.\n\nAll in all, I wouldn't go here again. It's pricey, and the food was bland to me. (Oh, and did I mention that my fritata was only warmed half-way through? The other side was still cold as it had just come out of the fridge!). Eek!\n\nI'd give this a miss, or I just caught them on a really, really bad day!
