We ordered the Wasabi Braised Beef and the Salmon Burger with Sweet Potato Fries. The Wasabi Braised Beef wasn’t really my thing…the taste didn’t quite hit the mark for me. However, I absolutely loved the Salmon Burger! The pickled carrots added a fantastic crunch and flavor that surprisingly complemented the burger really well…I usually don’t even like carrots on my burger, but this worked perfectly. The staff were friendly and welcoming. They also offer a good selection of vegan options, which is a nice touch.

This place has great healthy options for affordable prices, which has been hard to find in this area IMO. The mango salmon salad was great and had a nice citrus kick to it with the mango and the dressing. I highly recommend trying this place out if you haven’t yet!

Service was exceptional. We were there after lunch rush so we easily seated. Prices were reasonable. I had the Vegan Blackened Chicken Pita. It was tender with just the right amount of heat. Nestled in a fresh pita with garden greens, mango and a wonderful aioli drizzle. From this omnivore who enjoys plant based foods.... simply delicious. The side of sweet potato fries were fabulous! And the chickpea soup my mom ordered was so special I ordered a bowl to go (they prepared it to be ready just as we finished meal). If I lived in the area (medical visit nearby), they would know me by name. From the chatter at the other tables it was clear that this establishment is a go-to for flat out good food. Love this place. Looking forward to making it a point to return!

Yes! This is a must stop when in the area. The food is fresh, full of flavor, and unique. They tie in just the right amount of ingredients to make savory dishes. We enjoyed their burger and grilled cheese with jam. We also had their sweet potato fries and the pumpkin cake dessert. The burger had grilled onions with their house made sauce. The burger was cooked perfect and on a brioche bun. The grilled cheese and jam was one of the best meals I have had. They have many more options I look forward to trying. The place is very clean. It is not a huge venue but plenty of seating options. The staff was phenomenal and took the time to make great recommendations.

This place was awesome! Excellent vegan menu options! I loved the fresh quality and homemade sauces. The flavors after a much adored taste. The staff were so kind, and we even got to meet the master minds behind these wonderfully succulent recipes! Yes! The food here is great for vegans and non-vegans. I wish they were open for longer hours, but I'll catch them when I can and visit often! This place reminded me of a restaurant in Philly as far as atmosphere and quality! I loved that!

Great hospitality! Hugh selection of vegan options. Overall a GREAT place to dine, very friendly staff and welcoming environment. Quality of service and food is superb. I always place a to go order when I’m dining in. Large portions for takeout, in which I normally eat for dinner. The food is so fresh no matter if you are dining in or order takeout. 10/10 in my Keith Lee voice.
