    Excellent service, spacious venue, and loved the variety on the menu. We have many food sensitivities and love to eat clean whole food. Everyone in our party of 6 was happy with their food! This never happens.

    Nice to be able to go out to eat without feeling so guilty for consuming all the inflammatory oils. The menu was wonderful, I couldn’t decide. Both my dishes were excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    I had the Chinese salad. The lettuce was brown and it was very salty. Not what I expect from a “healthy “ restaurant

    Thank you for your feedback, Denise. We apologize for the issues with the Chinese salad and will work on improving its quality.

    Nice restaurant with plenty of vegan/vegetarian options. Food is fresh and (for the most part) healthy. Service was terrific. All in all a very nice choice for vegetarian dishes and wholesome, healthy food.
