| - This place was packed and I was completely unimpressed. You stand in line for you meal, order, take your marker to the table and you're served.
Not so bad, as I was looking for a light salad-type lunch. I ordered the chop-chop salad which was ok. The salad has wild Alaskan salmon, arugula, Israeli couscous, feta, red peppers, dried sweet corn, dried cranberries and sunflower seeds served with Pesto Vinaigrette.
We also had the Emerald Spinach salad with chicken which was better. This salad has spinach, gorgonzola, bacon, red onion, spicy pecans, oranges, strawberries and red grapes with Balsamic Vinaigrette.
Ambiance note: There's a Yelp and Facebook ad on every table. Seriously, the ambiance was institutional and very chain-like. It's a baby magnet and the acoustics are horrible as the metal ceiling caused the noise to bounce all over making for a really loud place to eat.
Last, there's a bakery, but I honestly thought the bread was boring, bland and too tough of a crust.
This place may get a second chance, but only for take-out and no more Chop Chop salad. Portions are reasonable, but a far better salad is served at Paradise Deli with a lot more substance.
