   food was delicious. waitress was excellent. we were seated and served quickly. ambience was lacking because of the large tv sets...people from a table nearby were turning around to see the tv and were facing us during our meal - very distracting. not every restaurant needs tvs. there are still people in the world who enjoy conversation

   We ate at the Santa Monica location. Very good, healthy food and affordable. I wish we had a TFK in Sacramento, or, better yet, Davis, where we live.

   Very disappointed—lovely place but the dishes were scant and expensive, and the service was very poor. Will not be returning, especially as there are so many other places nearby to choose from.

   I had a reservation. When we got there we were informed that they were shut down because of Public Health violations not addressed. Made some bad much worse for us..I won’t be going back!

   Made reservations for a group of us to meet at the restaurant for dinner. Arrived to find the entire restaurant was closed for maintenance. No one contacted us in advance to tell us the restaurant would not be able to honor the reservations.

   Fantastic experience! Great tasting quality food, excellent, attentive service, very respectful and knowledgeable about options for people with dietary restrictions, and great precautions are taken in the kitchen to avoid cross contamination for people with celiac disease. The values of the restaurant about sustainable, quality, healthy and great tasting food come to life in our plate and make this dining experience a total delight!

   We were there for a quick dinner before Kooza at the nearby Santa Monica Pier. Bill was a great, attentive server, and the various bowl dishes our group of four got were all amazing. Two of us loved the Korean noodles bowl. Would highly recommend this place for a date. They have a full bar as well.

   Love the delicious nutrient rich fresh food and creative “healthy” cocktails ! Open & inviting ambiance, sunny outdoor seating in the daytime + fun location close to variety of activities & entertainment. Staff has always been friendly and smiling (tho not always as quick as needed). Overall, this is a nourishing experience all around and I try to dine here whenever I’m in town.
