*** Re: FLOWER CHILD CHAINS ***

For those who eat only organic, please know that this restaurant is NOT an organic restaurant. They feature organic kale and items on the Dirty Dozen list ONLY. When you go into the store, you will see printed on the hard menu above registers under the Chopped Veggie Salad "organic greens" so you will assume like I did all the greens in the salad are organic. However, they include romaine lettuce that is NOT organic in the salad. False advertising and very misleading. I have been in touch with the restaurant general mngr concerning this. So be smart when you order and ask questions of the manager, not just the staff at the register who at the time of this review are not properly trained to know what is/is not organic. This goes for any restaurant that calls themselves a "health or vegetarian/vegan/paleo" restaurant. That does NOT mean they are organic. And we all know the dangers of conventional produce by now. My hope is that more 100% organic restaurants will start to pop up here like Goodonya in Encinitas and Parakeet Cafe in Del Mar. In the meantime, I am grateful that Flower Child does have a staff who cares and offers grass fed beef options. However there is no excuse to put 'organic greens' listed by a salad that doesn't contain 100% organic greens. I do hope Corporate reads this review and makes a change. In the meantime I will no longer be supporting the restaurant. And considering I've spent over $3300 there in 2 years time prior to receiving this knowledge, that's saying a lot.
