Wow! To say I love this place is an understatement! I live in Orange County but came up to Pasadena to see the Rose Bowl floats up close at the Floatfest and we came here for lunch. I wish this restaurant were near my home. But I'm also glad it's not because I wouldn't be able to resist coming here at least twice a week. The food and spirits are organic and regenerative with everything from bison meatballs to venison flautas and lots of fabulous vegan options too. Both the food and the ambiance are just wonderful! Can't wait to go back!!
