This evening, my wife, my sister-in-law and I tried Freshii
Restaurant, located on St. Paul just south of Eddie's, where the
florist used to be, above the laundromat. Unfortunately, their air
conditioner is not working and they have only a portable air
conditioner, but they promise to have their central air conditioning
working soon.<br>
<br>
I had spicy lemon grass soup. The portion is huge and does feature
good chicken, rice noodles, various very fresh vegetables and a
tasty broth. One can easily make a whole meal out of such a soup.
My impression is that a number of the dishes offered are Thai, and
since I am a fan of Thai food (and of most ethnic foods), that's
great.<br>
<br>
My wife and my sister-in-law each had yogurt with a few toppings.
That is also great eating.<br>
<br>
Their menu features fresh vegetables, and you can design your own
wraps and salads or, as I did, you can pick something complete from
the menu. Vegan meals featuring tofu are available. Prices are
reasonable. They serve breakfast, which I have not yet tried.<br>
<br>
So I think that Freshii will be a great addition to Charles Village
dining.<br>
<br>
Below, I have copied the announcement from City Council Member Mary
Pat Clarke's Weekend Happenings email of the grand opening Tuesday
at 10:45.<br>
