| - Two years after visiting this restaurant, I still remember what we ordered and how we enjoyed the food and atmosphere... what does that tell you? It was good and memorable! The atmosphere is a little artsy, but the staff was welcoming and friendly.
Since the prices are a little higher, we decided not to get any appetizers, smoothies (which looked great), or drinks.
When we went, we were able to get half size salads and some of the entrees were allowed to be halved (not sure if they still do this). I started with half of a Sashimi Tuna salad. Dressing was sweet and delicious; plenty of salad for half the cost.
For our entrees we ordered a half Turkey Bolognese and a full Pan Seared Sea Bass.
The turkey was moist, tender, and flavorful. Sauce was great, and the pasta did not seem overly "brown rice".
The sea bass's portion size was a little small, but it is an expensive fish. Fish was perfecty cooked; fork tender. The umami sauce was perfectly seasoned and complemented the fish and vegetables.
There are many things on the menu we wanted to try, so we'll have to come back again.
Pros: Stevia packets on the table (more restaurants need this!), healthy and tasty food, good selection, and the no-guilt feeling afterwards.
Cons: Have to get parking validated (it ends up being free), it is far for someone in the East Valley who wants to come more often, and it is a little expensive for the portions (but it's healthy!).
