Reviews
I used to get “The Rebel.” The menu has changed, but this Rainbow Harvest is nearly the same thing.
It’s so nutrient-dense and delicious, the bowls are biodegradable, and the ambiance of the place is so relaxing and yet tasteful.
Fully accessible.
Handicapped parking nearly directly out front.
1. Received a fork for soup
2. No meat available in any of the dishes. I get vegans gotta eat but a single chicken option or something would have gone a long way.
3. The staff put the wrong order on our table and walked away without saying anything
4. The staff didn’t come back for around 8 minutes to retrieve the wrong order
5. When we arrived, our table was covered in the dishes of the last people who ate there
6. Our water pitcher was nearly empty and nobody refilled it the whole time
7. The water cups are the smallest that I have ever seen in any restaurant I have been to in my life
8. The teriyaki tofu was largely unseasoned
9. There was very little tofu in the teriyaki tofu
10. The teriyaki tofu was not cooked at all, there was 0 crunch or anything. It was like eating a balloon
11. The bowl was very hot, yet the food was completely cold
12. The shitake ramen had one singular shitake in the whole thing (cut into 2 pieces)
13. The sugar in the dispenser was impossible to get out as it had all clumped together
14. The wicker chair was very hard
15. The water was weirdly sour and room temperature
16. There was very little egg in the ramen
17. The ramen was generally flavorless and bad
18. The coffee selections were poor
19. No alcohol was available
20. The eggplant order was not available
21. The spoon was visibly unwashed and dirty when we received it
22. The assai bowl was puny
23. Our menu had stains on it
25. We had to take our dishes away ourselves
26. Our ramen bowl was still half full (because it tasted terrible) when we were done and there was nowhere to put wet dishes so we had to pour it out into the compost. Very awkward!
28. The bathroom sink pours out exclusively cold water, which along with being unpleasant, makes me concerned about the staff handwashing. Given the many other review’s mentions of hair and debris in food I am guessing the staff have largely given up on washing their hands.
29. The kid’s menu is riddled with typos
30. The kids menu is tilted at a 10 degree angle and some words go off the page as a result
31. Despite there being almost no service, the tip screen still proposed a minimum tip of 15-25%, to the non-existent waiters
Obviously some of these points are more petty than others, but I do not recommend dining here. Even if you are a vegan or vegetarian there are far better options than this restaurant in the local area. Vegan and vegetarian food is full of excellent options and this restaurant is far below the standard.
The food maintains Life Alive’s usual standards for fresh, warm, and flavorful. As customers since the mid-2000s, we’ve been eating Adventurer and Green Goddess since they were only served out of Lowell. The Legacy Place location was a decent simulacrum, but felt a little more corporate and “standardized” than other bowls; we missed some elements of flavor and of the specific way the lentils and tofu were previously prepared.
Still, hardly a knock on Life Alive – you should still eat here if you’re interested in hearty plant food.
