Must be my week for "Little" things. Hit The Little Beet after checking out a new observation tower in the area. Selected it because one of our party really likes beets and wanted to treat her a bit. This counter-service restaurant gets a lot of props. Interesting and slightly unexpected menu which has a large number of items appropriate to both vegetarians and vegans (not to mention dairy-free, soy-free, gluten-free and nut-free). One of those "pick from a column" menus, you select a base, two veggies, a protein and toppings. To their credit there were two veg options for proteins, which is not always the case. I got the quinoa bowl with warm veggies kale and sweet potatoes, along with a beet falafel patty, pickled onion, tumeric almonds and chipotle sauce. The seasonings were all subtle yet unique and somewhat delightful. Price points were great with each meal coming in just over $10. The downsides included: 1. Too noisy. There weren't too many people there but between the music and the one boisterous group of eight it was hard to hear conversations. 2. The "warm" veggies were in the deeply lukewarm territory. 3. Had a little stomach upset later in the day. I sometimes attribute this to crossover contamination (the server did not change gloves after handling meat items) but this also could have been the lukewarm food being a bit past prime. Bottom line -- beets are not my thing but this place could change my mind. I could see a return visit.
