Great dinner with friends, my wife had the Mahi Mahi tacos and said they were packed with fish, so much so, she had leftovers to take home. I had the braised short rib dinner with mashed potatoes and carrots, which were delicious. Our guests had the fried chicken dinner, which they enjoyed and the kale and salmon power bowl, which could have had a little less kale and more salmon and other ingredients. We also enjoyed the small donuts with caramel sauce, yummy! Thanks for also having some great NA options for those of us not drinking alcohol!

Bartender and waitstaff were very accommodating when they came to our table, but it was difficult to get anyone's attention in passing, even though the dining area was at or under 50% occupied.
