I love brunch here. We went towards the end of brunch and so not crowded. Food was generous and excellent and because there were not a lot of people there, my friend who is hearing impaired, could easily hear me. Not rushed at all and we could relax and visit.

Consistently good food. Surprised by super slow service during workday lunch. Server not attentive and spent more time talking with bartender and looking at phone than ensuring guests had what they needed.

We apologize for the slow service and lack of attentiveness during your lunch visit, Dan. Thank you for your feedback, and we'll address this to improve our service.

The environment was comfortable and had a swanky modern feel, very well decorated. The servers were relaxed, attentive, and very friendly. We chose this place because of the high-quality ingredients, organic when it matters, and NO seed oils—EVER! We went on Mother’s Day during brunch and were very pleased with the selections. It was nice to see the kitchen prep area through the large glass wall, as we could see that the chef’s staff showed great care and excitement in preparing the meals. I ordered Rancher’s Hash, and it did not disappoint. I requested my eggs over medium, and they were cooked to perfection, and the entire meal came out hot. The combination of flavor profiles this dish offered surprised and delighted my palate. The food was delicious! My husband ordered the Korean Noodle Bowl with Blackened Shrimp. It was equally amazing! I’m happy he let me taste his dish, because I look forward to ordering in the future, on one of my carb-load days. But then again, everything on the menu looked so good, we'll have to come back often to try it all. The quality of the ingredients, the level of care in its preparation and presentation, and health benefits make this an ideal establishment for the discriminating health-conscious eater; a real health-foodie’s paradise. Ada was our server; friendly, responsive, and very patient. Her recommendations were great, and she encouraged us to try some new options. Ada has a great sense of humor and kindness that made us feel comfortable, respected, and welcomed. We enjoyed our experience with her, and our tip reflected it. The restaurant, kitchen, and bathrooms were clean and well-maintained. You could tell the employees take pride in the place. When we eat out, we look for high-quality food, good value, and exceptional service. This restaurant met all those criteria. The price was reasonable and well worth every dollar spent. We were so impressed that we will return to try more options. I think I found ‘my place’.

Thank you for your detailed review, Patricia! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the ambiance, high-quality ingredients, and attentive service from Ada. We're delighted that both the Rancher's Hash and Korean Noodle Bowl exceeded your expectations, and we look forward to welcoming you back to explore more of our menu!

First time at this restaurant. Service was prompt which was good especially since it was not very crowded. The pizza was very good - nice sauce and a fresh taste. The edamame dumplings were odd. Nice texture to the dumpling but the filling was mushy and had an odd/unusual taste. Would not order those again.

Thank you for your feedback, Meghan. We're happy to hear you enjoyed the pizza and prompt service, and we appreciate your input on the edamame dumplings.

Mercedes was awesome! Her recommendations were excellent. She took care of a party of six with grace. The smoked old fashioned was delicious. The lasagna was marvelous. We also had two gluten free guests that were able to choose from many options. We were all happy and will we return.

It was fine. Pretty good value the money. Pole bowl was good. And Asian bowl. Pasta was just ok. Salmon was done well and pesto pasta was good. Cauliflower and Brussels sprout apps were very good.

We sat outside and enjoyed the warm weather on the patio. The wait staff was polite and attentive. A few people in our party have a gluten allergy and there were lots of options they could choose from. The food was good and the experience was great.
