"Starting with positives, the food is very healthy in line with how they market themselves, portions are good, prices reasonable. I ordered the low fat penne vodka with chicken and cucumber salad. Vodka sauce was watery and nearly unseasoned (yes I know the goal is low sodium but still) and I?m not even sure it was even vodka sauce, more like tomato sauce (not even marinara sauce which would have more italian seasonings like oregano and basil). The pasta itself seemed to be whole wheat or some other type of healthier alternative which I didnt expect, which would be fine if I expected that but I wouldn?t have known from the menu. The chicken was overcooked and bland, hard and stringy, and it was ok at first but I ate a piece that didn?t taste like it was fresh and made me gag. Cucumber salad was just sliced cucumbers with 4 thin slices of red onion and a tiny splash of what I assume would be vinegar. Healthy but could be definitely be improved without adding more calories. Hard to call it a salad. Overall, think the concept is great as we can all use more healthy non vegetarian options, but the quality should be improved. Would?ve given 4 stars if the chicken didn?t make me gag. I just smelled it again (the piece I spit out) and it is actually really bad so I think 2 stars is generous. I ate chicken today so I generally love chicken, and that is not what it should smell like. Hope management doesnt come back with a snarky reply as they seem to have a history of I am leaving an honest, fair review."
