Description

Flower Child invites diners to explore an array of healthy, flavorful dishes, praised for creativity yet criticized for inconsistency. Signature offerings like the Mother Earth bowl and BBQ heirloom carrots shine, showcasing fresh ingredients and inventive flavor pairings. However, some traditional items, such as mac and cheese and certain proteins, fall short, leaving diners longing for more. While the welcoming staff and charming atmosphere enhance the experience, recent complaints about portion sizes and food quality suggest the restaurant may need to refine its offerings. Overall, Flower Child promises potential but calls for a discerning approach to the menu.

I love that this place exists. It feels like it is trying to be very earth friendly with a lot of vegetarian options. I ordered 3 sides: the sweet potatoes, the Mac and cheese and the cauliflower risotto. Then I also tried the chocolate pudding. I reallyliked the cauliflower dish?nice flavoring, was probably my favorite that I ordered.

Realistically I'd give this restaurant a 3.5 but that isn't an option and 4 stars is too high. I had the chicken entree with BBQ heirloom carrots and the gluten free mac and cheese for context, if you order an entree you get to pick a base proteinand two sides (or you can order three vegetarian sides as an entree). Although I only ate here once and I'm making anassumption, the takeaway from my meal is that Flower Child excels at the more creative, adventurous dishes on their menu and notso much with the more run of the mill plates. Case in point: the chicken and mac and cheese were both bland in my opinion. Thechicken was a bit dry as well. The BBQ heirloom carrots, however, were the standout of the meal. I'd never seen carrots friedlike that, and the avocado ranch was delicious. Luckily, there was plenty of the wonderful sauce to go around, which helpedremedy the flavor of the chicken. I think it's possible to have a good meal at this place, but unfortunately you can't justthrow a dart at the menu and expect to land on something satisfying.

I loved the Mother Earth bowl at this restaurant! I got it with tofu and it was delicious. The atmosphere was great for hanging out. #Veganuary

Had the vegan squash “soup of the day” and the “Thai Dye” vegan wrap. Both were super good. The soup was hearty and savory. True to its name, the Thai wrap was fairly spicy, just as I had hoped. No tired old impossible burgers in this place!
