Claremont Loving Hut Redux

Spicy Tender Gardein Burger
Taco Diego
Time to revisit Claremont's Loving Hut since the soft opening.  Before we went, I perused the online menu and decided that I wanted the Avocado and Crispy Seitan Club Sandwich.  Our waitress told us that they were out of several items, but when I ordered the Club, she said, "Oh, we just sold the last one of those."  I wonder, then, if they are premade?  Good thing I had a second choice lined up.  I ordered the Spicy Tender Gardein Burger.  H, on my recommendation from last time, ordered the Taco Diego.  

I have to say that I was unimpressed with the taste of the burger.  Actually, the lack of taste.  However, the spicy sauce on the burger had a kick and some flavor, but the Gardein was not very warm and had nothing special to recommend it.  H said the same of his tacos which apparently weren't as good as the first ones I had.  

Also, although the decor is pleasant enough, and it's very quiet inside (3-4 tables of people), since it is a little upscale, they could have some quiet music playing or something to create an ambiance to match the pricey menu.  I'm not sure we'll be back.  I will continue to go to the Upland restaurant or to Santa Monica for RFD when I need a vegan meal.

I remember liking what we ate but that they were out of our first couple choices when we started ordering.
