Great place for our business lunch, we normally come for dinner or happy hour but it was a perfect fit for lunch too. The paleo bowl with salmon was delicious - we both ended up having the same thing and agreed it was great, and very filling. The service was prompt but not too much which allowed us to have a great conversation. I'll be back!
