I have been to Fresh on many occasions, but this was my third time and this specific location, and this review will be based on the specific visit.
I came here with one other friend for dinner around 6pm on a Tuesday evening. We know that Fresh can get busy and does not take reservations, so we decided to come earlier as opposed to later. When we arrived the restaurant was about 80% occupied and there were still a number of tables available. Despite this, the hostess said it would be a few minutes wait and she took our names. We were a bit confused because there were clearly empty tables available for parties of two. Nevertheless we were seated about a minute later.
This restaurant is jam packed. Don't come expecting any privacy at all. Our table was literally no more than four inches apart from the gentleman dining beside us. Every time I come to this location without fail someone at the table beside me (or myself) knocks something off of a neighbouring table when entering or exiting their seat.
Our server was pleasant and described the soups of the day for us and explained that they were out of the special of the day. I appreciated the she ensured we always had enough water at our table because I can find that they sometimes forget to do this at Fresh.
My friend and I both ordered our go to dishes. The macro greens on steamed greens (no sprouts, extra sweet potato) with chickpeas on the side for me and the baby beach bowel on rice with a side of corn bread and hummus for my friend. These dishes were both received as expected and we were pleased. I also asked for their hot sauce because I love spicy food. Usually I love the hot sauce at Fresh, but this time it was a bit disappointing. It was not as spicy as usual and I had to cover my dish in it to get any sort of kick. I went through about 3/4 of the pot!
Overall the meal was generally as expected and we left satisfied.
