    We came on July 4 in middle of a rainstorm. We were seated within 10 minutes and had the. Buddha Bowl and Fish and Chips plus 2 of their 4 choices of N.A. beer. The kale and all the veggies I. The bowl were fresh, perfectly dressed without wanting for more or being soaked. Chips were crispy (steak fries rarely are but these were!) fish was moist and not too heavily battered. They were slammed with customers yet service was efficient. I will definitely return. For us )in our 60s) music was too loud but for younger in our group they were fine.
