Longevity Superfood Fusion Café

I thought it was pretty good! We ate there for a light lunch; $ 5 glasses of wine and got out the door for $ 33 before tip for two people. The white beans and sauteed greens were delicious in a broth (and plenty salty). The crab cakes were mixed with some kind of vegetable and were dense with a hint of sweetness, very delicious with the yougurt sauce! The baked brie was a bit boring, kind of melted rather than baked with apples and oranges on the plate (???). Service was friendly, though I had to ask for refill of water and she never offered a second glass of wine (we would have taken it!). Lots of flax in the bread, which will help my digestion tomorrow!

My boyfriend and I tried this place twice a few days apart; once for lunch, once for dinner.
Lunch was very good, I had the excellent blackened salmon (a tad too salty) served with delicious quinoa tabbouleh salad, fresh baby spinach and citrus dressing. My b/​f had the French Dip sandwich with sweet potato fries, which came with small cups of good quality catsup and a fatty but flavorless and salt-​free au jus dip.
Our dinner experience was a bit less pleasant. We both had a rather ‘short’ glass of so-​so cabernet ($ 7 each). He had the whole grain personal pizza (which he said needed salt in spite of having turkey sausage on it). For my entrée I had the calamari appetizer in broth with red and yellow bell pepper, that came with 2 garlic toast ‘points’ (=1 slice of bread).
I thought the calamari was absolutely taste-​free. Seriously, it was like the chef simply forgot to season it. It had NO TASTE except for the slight bell pepper flavor. It seemed completely salt-​free, which is actually ok with me, I can add salt at the table (which I did, and pepper). But it also did not have any other flavor — no herbs, no garlic, no onion, no distinguishing flavor at all. It tasted like the water in which pasta was cooked. I’d like to think the chef made a mistake and forgot to add that smashed clove of garlic mixed with herbs at the last minute. I also wondered if the chef ever tasted the dish I received. Thus, I did not consume too much of the broth, but dug the calamari and peppers out of it and ate one of the toast points, which were actually nicely seasoned (and salted). The calamari itself was slightly rubbery, but edible.
We also shared a plate of brussels sprouts (hey, we like ‘em), that arrived warm, with melted butter and slightly salted. We added fresh lemon juice at the table (the server brought us some lemon slices on request) which helped give them more flavor, but they were unpleasantly tough and brownish — not undercooked, but obviously past their freshness prime.
The dinner menu was a kind of a clone of the lunch menu, with some side dishes switched (for instance, the French Dip dinner entrée comes with Yucca fries (what? why?)), and everything is a couple of bucks more than lunch prices. The dinner menu has a full complement of appetizers not found on the lunch menu.
While I applaud this restaurant’s self-​proclaimed intention of wholesomeness, and the whole grains they use in many dishes, there is no attempt to be ‘organic’, and it was not clear to us whether the salt was intentionally left out of the entrees we had for dinner, while the lunch-​time salmon and salad dressing seemed to have plenty of it.
The service both times was just great. However, we thought Longevity was a tad overpriced in general because its cuisine did not live up to its pretense of haute quality. We will not return to this restaurant that seemed so promising at lunch. Eat there at your own risk, perhaps your experience will be less hit or miss than ours.
