Great food, atmosphere, and customer service! There's a nice variety of meals that are both healthy and delicious. The staff is very friendly and polite. Special mention to Zac, Luis, and Nathan. Thank you for the excellent attention and customer service. The team is welcoming and bilingual (English and Spanish), which is a big plus. I will definitely be back. And the cookies are absolutely amazing! Thank you!
Best lunch I’ve had in a very long time. Pictured is the Teriyaki grilled chicken plate with marble potatoes and garlic parm mushrooms. Incredible flavor on all 3. Luis was a fantastic server and Ally a great host. Will be returning on my next trip to OC.
Excellent lunch spot. Very clean, organized and the food was so good. I had a apple and beet salad, added salmon. It was fresh and bursting with flavor. It was a hearty portion size. The waitstaff there is on point, professional and attentive. Definitely will be back. Also the salmon was grilled to perfection
