| - Don't let their name fool you, the unhealthy (yummy) menu items outnumber the healthy ones. While yes, I did see an Acai bowl and various juices/smoothies on the menu, I would not categorize them as a "healthy" restaurant. However, I never thought of myself as a health nut, so this place suited me just fine!
Interior is bright, clean and new looking. Service was great and I love that they offer a variety of condiments (jelly, butters and syrups).
We ordered:
Beignets with guava jelly - jelly is more of a purée but flavor is excellent. Beignets were light and airy on the inside, although not a lot of flavor without the jelly.
Mango bread - good, but wished the mango flavor was stronger. Added guava jelly to it and it worked well together.
Short rib loco moco - saw it was popular in other yelp reviews so wanted to give it a try. Overall - very good. Supposedly braised for 36 hrs, but surprisingly not as tender as I expected. Fried rice and gravy were both flavorful. Little pricey at $20 though.
Strawberry banana ricotta pancakes - also very good, but after eating all of the above, we only finished about 1/3. Four large pancakes with bananas and strawberries on top. We chose almond butter and maple syrup as our sides. Really liked the slight crunch from the toasted (?) graham cracker crumbs sprinkled on top!
