I'm so happy this vegan cafe exists, but the price points are a little steep for repeat/daily customers.
The food, while good and plenty (enough to take home for a small meal later), was a bit on the heavily seasoned side. My husband had the lasagna, and lasagna is in our minds equals Italian seasoning. But TLC's lasagna was super spicy, like Mexican or Indian food.
I had the Pulled Pork Mac-n-Cheese with gluten-free pasta. It tasted like a South Carolinian-type rub on the 'meat', which in itself was good, but didn't pair well sitting atop a 'cheezy' pile of pasta - the mustardy tang of the bbq sauce was too much to appreciatethe watered-down 'cheeze' sauce.
Let's talk about the mocktails... I ordered the cucumber martini; my husband ordered the clove-anise mocktail. TLC needs to up their game on these. I took a few sips of my drink and it sat there, untouched for the rest of lunch. It tasted more like pickle juice instead of a cucumber martini. Apparently, the Chef is the only one who knows how to make drinks there and he had taken off on this particular Saturday, so the waiters were making the drinks. My husband's drink was sickeningly sweet, but he did finish it. For $10 per MOCKTAIL, up your game, folks! When we sat down we were offered only bottled water, at first. So our drinks were ½ of the $87 (including tip) bill.
The waiter was cordial, helpful, and answered all my dietary questions.
