Clean Eatz

Very clean and staff was very pleasant. Food is amazing and have a lot of gluten free options! Thus place is a must!

Here, you have an entire restaurant dedicated to healthy eating alternatives. All this healthy comes at a price, however. The result is a limited menu that, in spite of being "good for you", ends up leaving you feeling deprived. It is unfortunate that Clean Eatz falls somewhat short of the mark in providing an equitable combination of taste and value. A drink station which features *water with lemon slices, *water with tea, *water with orange or plain *water, things that normally come free for the asking elsewhere, are advertised as "included" with the meal. What you are really getting for the price (which is reasonable) is the entree which is presented in "realistic" serving sizes. No need for doggie bags here and they consider that as a selling point. Side orders consist of options such as veggie cups and a lackluster "side salad" which looked like a scoop of iceberg lettuce with touches of shredded carrot. As a child I remember these things as what had to be eaten in order to get to the good stuff. Here they are presented as plate filling as opposed to something that actually adds value to the meal. The service was conducted by a very pleasant and enthusiastic fellow who resembled my highschool gym teacher. Clearly, the staff stands behind the business which is refreshing. They seem well informed about the menu and answered all my questions. Their strongest focus seems to be on their take-out options and meal plans. Their freezers are well stocked with ready-made dishes that can be heated up and eaten at home. The restaurant prides itself in offering meals that are formulated to appeal to different dietary needs such as gluten-free and low carb. The ready made food appears much more appetizing than what is offered on the restaurant menu and one wonders if the restaurant doesn't come up short because of the split attention. This is a restaurant with a mission, as evidenced by the displays of Clean Eatz spice mixtures and protein powders available for sale in the dining room. There is not a fried item or speck of refined sugar to be found. The floor still retains the marks of earlier renovations which detracts from the otherwise tidy and modern space. Posters on the wall remind the customers that they are what they eat. Even the plastic table number cards are printed with advice on remaining well hydrated and avoiding toxic people. In short, there are many reminders of what we should be doing better. Perhaps the customers would be better served by information about the ingredients. Why should I be eating asparagus and why is it good for me? The most generous thing I can say is perhaps we as Americans equate "healthy eating" with "cruel and unusual punishment" and Clean Eatz just suffers in that light. Though I applaud their mission and I wish them luck, alas I feel that this place is not likely to survive.
