text: As a vegan I want to love this place I want to climb on rooftops and point everyone to what could be the best veg restaurant in town but sadly it is not and I will not I have been to Fern four times now and I feel that is a fair shot for any place Three dineins and one takeout The OM burger for takeout without a doubt is awesome and for that I give them stars Too bad the rest does not make up for it Since their initial opening I will say the prices seem to be more reasonable and the portions have become enough to sate hungry eaters kudos for fixing those two things However the food is still rather bland to me Last night we shared a Choose appetizer of hummus fire relish and vegan tofu feta The hummus is fine but not anything you cannot get in a zillion other places The relish while decent certainly was not in anyway fiery The tofu feta mmmm raw cubed tofu Fail The crackers served had too many seasonings and hid the flavor of the dips The bread was sorta toasted sorta not and was not a great texture nMy dining companion chose the Laughing Buddha Bowl and I had the Tacos for our entrees The Bowl is good but it also appears to be some random stuff thrown in a bowl with no real cohesion Companion also mentioned You make better thrown together meals than this The tacos what the hell The breading is good but I do not recall ever having bad fried dough The bean spread was absolutely flavorless and required copious amounts of salt to make it palatable Far too few veggies and where was some salsa or avocados nService Initially the service was great Our waitress was friendly and on top of us to order Our drinks and appetizer arrived quickly The appetizer dishes were removed promptly and it was a normal wait for entrees So far so good However once our entrees were delivered we did not see our waitress until it was time to pick up the check that another waitress had to bring I would have requested some hot sauce or anything to make the tacos a bit better I imagine the waitress was in the back rolling silverware or other closing duties but that is no excuse to not check in on your tables nI really do not anticipate going back other than to grab an OM burger To go
