Flower Child is a casual health focused restaurant that’s suitable for vegan, vegetarian and low gluten or meat eaters diets. The menu is mostly vegetable focused. They offer salads, vegetable bowls, wraps and more. You have the option to add proteins. The restaurant is very casual as you order at the counter, grab a number and seat yourself.

In the comfortable potting shed style dining room.

Or the attractive patio that’s comfortable via great misters in even the hot 100 degree days .

I go to pick my tea and went with the Black Passion Fruit.

We decided to share several things.

I went for the Thai Cashew Quinoa bowl with added salmon. (Here is how it looked the first time)

The salmon was a nice portion and was cooked reasonably well. I really enjoyed the snap peas. They were so sweet, fresh and crisp and were just as good as a snap pea can be. While my plate was  ok it was not very flavorful……

I felt cheated as my plate lacked shiitake mushrooms, jalapeños and Thai Basil that my plate was suppose to contain. Below is a better look to see what I had from my fist visit.

I felt cheated so I thought it would be a good idea to let the restaurant know about what I was served. The restaurant offered me a slight discount to come back. I came back and ordered the same plate again and it is not much but slightly different.

This time I came across three pieces of Shiitake Mushroom and one leaf of Basil. Both me and my husband didn’t recognize or taste Jalapeño in the dish but it was ok. The plate didn’t contain enough basil for any flavor. Did the bowl contain any fragment of jalapeño?……….I don’t think so…… If you order this plate you MUST ask for extra Thai Basil and extra Jalapeño or you won’t get enough to notice any. Well this time I can’t say the mushrooms were missing. I was surprised that nobody checked on me and asked if everything was alright since they were aware I had an issue the last time I was here.

Well any who……….

We decided to share a Mix and Match Vegetable plate since it sounds so appealing. On our first visit we tried a combination of Sweet Potatoes, Indian Style Cauliflower and Japanese Eggplant. The Eggplant was our favorite! It wasn’t oily like real Asian Eggplant but it was flavorful and tasty!

The Vegetable Plate we picked the second time was really Great!

Mashed Potatoes…Ummmm, Japanese Eggplant and the surprise was the tasty Asparagus with mint and whole grains. I would get this again as my meal. It was really good!

My husband got The Rebel Wrap and it  is described as contained grass fed beef, charred onion, port salut cheese, horse radish yogurt and arugula on a house made whole wheat flax and chia seed wrap.

My husband said the wrap was flavored nicely and he really liked the port salut cheese but the steak was chewy (the first time) and the wrap only contained a small portion of steak.

Since the amount of beef was so light on our first visit my husband asked for extra beef in his wrap for our second visit and received this.

The steak was tender, abundant and delicious this time.
