I had never been to Freshii, I had only read about it coming to Madison, but alas have never dined in. Today's visit, my first visit to freshii, was to purchase a few gift cards (so still no dining). But the impression the owner made was remarkable. And I will be back to patronize his restaurant. I believe his name is Jack, the owner. He rang up my two gift cards, as I tried to keep interaction to a minimum--fighting a cold and I didn't want to share germs or my raspy voice. As I was about to part, he offered me a sample of a Freshii smoothie. I'm not sure if it was because he sensed the sicky in my voice, or if he randomly selected me to offer, but that small gesture--as I was sick and wiped out--made a world of difference in my day. I will definitely be back and look forward to perusing the menu.
