    I’m not a vegetarian or vegan but this food was wonderful! I would absolutely eat there again. The menu does include chicken, salmon, and beef but I was with a vegetarian friend so we shared the sweet potato and mushroom asada tacos, the rotini pesto and the mushroom and quinoa lettuce wraps with jalepeno, mint, and lemon. The hibiscus martini was really good too! We are next to Woody Harrelson so apparently he likes the food too:)

    Love that the entire menu is GF and all the other “free ofs” offerings… we sat right away and were offered coffee or drinks. Only thing was on a Monday morning after marathon Sunday, they were out of the bone broths so that was a bummer! But the chicken salad sandwich was excellent.

    Hi Wendy, Thank you so much for your 5 star review! We're glad you found your visit enjoyable, and we're sorry to hear we ran out of bone broth before you could order it. We hope this won't be an issue next time you join us!

    Service and atmosphere were outstanding, and food was very good. Our one qualm is that while they have their “thing” — with excluding dairy, wheat, seed oils, etc. from everything — it’d be nice to be able to just get some normal cheese or white rice. Really appreciate how dedicated they are to the no bad oils, but there’s a certain point where it’s a bit too restrictive.

    Hi Aaron, Thank you so much for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed your overall experience with us! We do our best to provide a safe environment for those with dietary restrictions and food allergies, and we understand limiting our menu to certain ingredients and meals can feel a bit restrictive. However, we hope this doesn't discourage you from joining us again in the future as we would love the opportunity to host you another time!

    Es un lugar pequeño, pero con mucho encanto. Bien decorado y la ubicación es muy céntrica. La comida estuvo deliciosa, y los tragos exquisitos.
