Since over half the team were at an all-day client meeting, Rob and I decided to pick something out of the ordinary and blogable, The Quiet Storm out in Garfield on Penn. This was another old favorite back in the day, but I haven’t gone there for about 3 years. All I remember was they had awesome soups and it was primarily a coffeehouse with a vegetarian menu. The venue is eclectic and vintage – with neat trinkets to check out. They supposedly have a killer brunch on Sundays.
What a surprise! The menu was immense, with lots of selections for vegetarians and those that like their veggies to taste like meat (ie: gardenburgers). I got a cup of chili and a falafel with jalapeno slaw. Then Rob ordered a potato soup with buttermilk and a gyro burrito. The service was a little slow but we weren’t too much of a hurry. The “drug dealer” or “sketchy dude” that kept coming in and out of the restaurant got to be a little annoying, but it was a meal to remember.
