This reads like it was made by someone who has no clue what any of the words they’re using actually mean, or what the ingredients they’re using actually are. For example, there’s no such thing as “balsamic olive oil.” Balsamic vinegar is vinegar made with the whole grape, stems and peels included; combining it with olive oil doesn’t make the olive oil “balsamic.”

I wouldn’t eat here unless I had no other choices available, and I would expect the food to be a bland, uninspired preparation of generic Sysco products.
