Kairos was part of the first wave of tenants in this new building which was constructed after the razing of the old Ruby Tuesday.

I ate here probably a dozen times or so over the several years it was open. Originally they had a few tables on the sidewalk in front of the store which I liked to sit at in good weather, but at some point they lost those, and nobody working there seemed to know anything about it.

I was rather ambivalent about the concept itself. I believe someone here called it "bowls of goo" a few months ago, and that was kind of an issue. I found that if I just treated it as a bespoke salad, it was good, but trying to go beyond that was just too much thrown together that should probably have been separate.

The place closed without warning (as restaurants tend to do) in mid-December, and the WLTX story is here.

  1. "Corporate Slop Bowl" is what the kids are calling all of these places these days, and it'll be interesting to see how they shake out. Much like the great Frogurt Wars of 2002-2010, there seem to be too many brands offering very similar products. You have your competing Mexican burrito/bowl chains, your competing chopped salad/wrap chains, and your competing "Mediterranean" chains.

  2. As I mentioned on another page, this place was fantastic when myself and family members first started going there. Then the attitude and environment seemed to decline. Grumpy, irritable employees who acted like we should apologize for bothering them.
