    We were looking for healthy and flavorful food, and this spot was perfect! We enjoyed a beet salad (added chicken) and stuffed peppers. The sauces were so tasty and left us very satisfied. Nice view overlooking a park and clean, hip ambiance. Would definitely return!

    The food was excellent and the service amazing! My friend and I split the quinoa pancakes and the traditional breakfast so we had both sweet and savory. My friend is gluten free and dairy free but I am not so our server was so thoughtful and made up 2 plates of the traditional breakfast so that I could have the sourdough toast with butter and the cheddar dusted potatoes and my friend could have her gluten free toast and potatoes without the cheddar dust. ❤️ It all was very delicious!! Would highly recommend their brunch and we want to go back for dinner sometime soon as well!
