Betty's

Ah, Betty's! We have had many good, and often late, meals there over the years. Always good for that go-to neighborhood hangout. We dropped in Easter Sunday, knowing they'd be there for us. The dark interior, surrounded by vintage risque prints, is always well-filled.
Our experience this time around was a bit below normal, but I can't count off too much for that. Service was good, as always.
Candy got the Pesto Potato soup of the day, which was hearty enough with potato pieces and fairly tasty, but light on the pesto. The Tuscan Tomato was likewise hearty with chunks of tomato and veggies, but a bit acidic to my stomach that day.
I believe Candy's Veggie Burrito with black bean hummus was fine, but I will let her comment on that, if she cares.
My Grilled Tofu Steak was a disappointment. At $11 and a description like this: "Marinated slices of tofu steak topped with a tangy onion sauce made with tomato, cilantro, garlic and curry" you would expect big taste and big slabs of tofu. Unfortunately, three smallish pieces of average tofu greeted me covered with bland sauteed onions. The black beans were likewise bland and as much as I like broccoli, served plain with the other relative tastelessness, this dish left me wanting something really flavorful. I realize this was a vegan meal, but Candy mercifully offered to give me some of her broccoli with cheese sauce, and that helped greatly.
We left a little underwhelmed, but we'll be back because we love Betty's and all the Betty's incarnations.
