When I got the email notifying me that my review had been replied to, I was kinda freaked out. Even though my criticism was totally on point, I felt bad. I was mad at myself for not putting a ton of effort into my review. If I had known this dude was actually going to read it, I would've given it the care and detail I put into my blog post.
Anyway, I was so upset about this, that I didn't read his response all day. But tonight, I finally checked out what "Rich W.", owner of Leafy Greens, had to say for himself. And to my great surprise, he wholeheartedly agreed with everything I said!
Here's what Rich wrote:
Thank you for stopping in to Leafy Greens and thank you for your candid feedback. Your take away is quite accurate, that is exactly the feel we are aiming for. The intention with bringing the "your local salad bar" concept to the downtown MB area was not to create yet another high end, gourmet or expensive dining option for patrons but rather a casual quick, healthy and affordable choice of eatery where they can dine downtown more often. The feedback we have received from the many satisfied customers who have frequented Leafy Greens is that they are so pleased they now have somewhere quick, healthy and affordable they can enjoy daily with a similar feel to the local bakery, coffee shop, deli, etc. all found within a grocery store :)
In my Yelp review, I advised the owners to take a field trip to Greenleaf to see what's possible in the salad industry. And for the record, my salad at Leafy Greens cost exactly the same as my salad at Greenleaf. So whatever to that "high end/expensive dining option" shit.
Why you would put a salad place in the middle of a "high end" neighborhood and shoot for grocery store level quality is beyond me. Why have a great salad place when we can have an average one! Shoot for the stars there, Rich.
Sadly, my treks to Beverly Hills will have to continue for the foreseeable future...
