Review of Origin Kitchen + Bar

The food here is okay. I was super excited about a gluten free waffle but I was not prepared for it to appear dark. Other waffles also came out incredibly dark, so it’s probably the normal presentation for a paleo waffle using almond and coconut flour. They graciously allowed me to order something else, so I got the sweet potato hash. The Brussels sprouts tasted soggy, like they were boiled then tossed in the pan. I had a different expectation for this place in which I thought my taste buds would be wowed, especially for the price.

The service was great when we first arrived but then it got weird. My dish came out first, which is fine but my sister’s food was another 10 minutes. She told me to eat, which is when I found out no matter how hard I tried to like that waffle, I couldn’t. I tried to tell the person who brought my sister’s food (finally) but no one came to check on us, not after the first dish and not after the second one many minutes later. We got someone’s attention and he assisted with replacing the waffle with the hash.

The food is decent and the service is mediocre. I recommend trying this place to see for yourself because they do have a nice selection and many items are gluten free.
