| - The most deliciously guiltless meal you could ever have.
Came in for the first time with my sister on Saturday for brunch. The place was packed - and righteously so. We had to wait for probably ten minutes as we came in asking simply for the next available table (rather than asking to sit outside... The weather was gorgeous but satiating our hunger mattered more at that point :)).
My sister ordered the red chili shrimp, I ordered the spaghetti squash casserole with grilled chicken. We asked if we could share a Weekend Warrior, and the server told us Sure! without hesitation.
Red Chili Shrimp was spot on. The flavors were great, and we were honestly surprised. Usually when an American restaurant takes on Asian/Asian-inspired menu items, we can tell that it's for an Americanized palate. My only note: the server warned my sister that her dish was spicy. To my Asian brothers and sisters who savor the heat from an authentic Thai dish, or Vietnamese bun bo hue, or a hearty Indian curry.... the meaning of "spicy" here and the meaning of "spicy" to your palate most likely aren't equal. Yes, you could taste the spice, but you couldn't FEEL the spice (and I'm a gal that typically likes to FEEL the spice). Not knocking the dish, because it was cooked to perfection, but I just wanted to put that out there for those who might be expecting more of a kick.
The Spaghetti Squash Casserole was absolutely satisfying. Everything went together perfectly. The tomato sauce had great flavor and saucy thickness to it as one would expect for a typical pasta dish. The chicken was grilled to perfection. Didn't leave my mouth with any gritty taste of burnt, but a real grilled flavor that more chefs could use to master. The fresh mozzarella was definitely the irresistible icing on the cake. Melted to the right consistency to meld with the rest of the rich flavors of the dish. If I could have spaghetti in squash form more often, I'd definitely go for it. Well done, TFK. Hats off to you!
And holy cow, I've honestly been craving a Weekend Warrior since I finished my cup. Speaking of, they brought it out in two separate cups, which my sister and I certainly appreciated. Before getting the drink I thought they would've just given us two straws to share. Happy they didn't go that route. :) Simply good service.
Anyway, who knew almond butter and flax could go well in a smoothie? If TFK broke off a part of its business to specialize in smoothies, I would happily be a dedicated customer even solely to that. Seriously, Jamba Juice - can you learn something from TFK?!
Really great service. Attentive enough to make you comfortable and never needing anything, and giving you and your company the privacy you want.
A great casual dining experience I'd recommend to all. Can't wait to return!
P.S. It'd be much appreciated if you introduce this great thing you've got going on with the rest of the states. AZ, CA, and CO can't be the ones who have all the luck!
