Great Food, But Food Poisoning
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The food tasted so good, and I really enjoyed it. However, the price was really high. Unfortunately, I got food poisoning from the grilled chicken, which was a significant disappointment. Due to this, I will not be coming back.

Frustrating Service and Cold Food
My experience at this restaurant was quite frustrating. We waited over 30 minutes for our food, even after asking about it twice. To make matters worse, the steak sandwich wasn't even hot and was overcooked. The service was a major letdown, and the food temperature and cooking quality were disappointing.

Great Food, Unbearable Noise
My experience at this restaurant was a tale of two halves. The food was very good, and the portions were generous. However, the noise in this place was unbearable. The tables are so close together that you end up hearing every single conversation, which made the experience very uncomfortable. We came here three times, but never again. The noise pollution exceeds 87 decibels, enough to give you a headache.

Skimpy Protein, High Price
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing due to the extremely skimpy portion of protein. I received only a few pieces of chicken along with a huge amount of lettuce. When I complained about the portion size, I was asked to purchase an additional side of chicken for $8, which I found ridiculous. I will not be coming back.

Great Food, Awful Packaging
My experience at this restaurant was marked by great food made with fresh ingredients. However, the to-go packaging was a significant letdown; it was horrible, making it difficult to access the food and impossible to mix. I sincerely hope they will improve their packaging in the future, perhaps adopting a style similar to Sweetgreen or Mendocino.

Overpriced and Undersized Meal
My experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing. For $22, I received an egg, a small portion of chicken (30 grams), and a pile of salad. It felt like a joke given the price. The food quality was extremely poor, reflected in the low rating of 1. While the service and atmosphere received a moderate rating of 3, the overall value was severely lacking due to the exorbitant price for such a meager offering.

Great Food and Clean Restaurant
My experience at this restaurant was very positive. The restaurant was clean and the food was great. I was particularly pleased to get a really good salad during our trip to America. The sandwich was also super. They also have a kids menu.

Good Food, Poor Closing Time Policy
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The food was really good, but the service aspect was quite disappointing. I was in line waiting to order, and my turn in line brought me to the cashier at 7: 58 pm. Unfortunately, I was told they were closed because the kitchen closes at 8 pm. It would have been better if they had informed me sooner that they wouldn't be taking my order, rather than letting me wait in line.

Sandwich price vs. size disappointment
My experience at the restaurant was mixed. The sandwich tasted good, but I was surprised by its small size, especially considering the price of $17. It felt like it was the size of my hand, and it used to be bigger. This change in portion size for the cost was a significant drawback.

Cute Vintage Farm Vibe & Fresh Salads
What a cute place with a vintage farm vibe! We ordered at the counter and our food was brought to our table. Arriving right at opening at 11 am meant plenty of seating. I enjoyed the Fattoush salad, my husband had the Spicy tuna salad, and our daughter loved the burrata grilled cheese. The salads were huge, delicious, and incredibly fresh; I could only finish half of mine. My daughter's sandwich was the perfect size, and she really liked the pesto and burrata on a soft roll. My husband found his salad to be super filling. We'll definitely be back for their fresh food.
