| - I cannot put into words what an absolute pleasure it was to dine here, but I will certainly try!
I fell in love the moment I sat down; the restaurant is open & inviting - which is no surprise, as the staff mirrors those attributes themselves.
Everything about my experience brought a smile to my face - the food was fresh, creative (the staff is constantly collaborating to come up with new ideas), and unbelievably delicious (so much so that I came back the next day to be able to try more while in town). During my first visit I tried the "Drink Your Greens" fresh juice, had the Coconut Curry Noodles for my entree & finished up with the Almond Bar. I essentially had the staff order for me - I mean, the owner is hands on in every way, so I figured why not? She led me in the right direction - and I couldn't stop raving about everything to my fiancé. The Coconut Curry was made with zucchini noodles they made to order, and the pineapple cut through the spice perfectly. I was in love with the Almond Bar from first bite; one of the best desserts I've ever had. And, guess what?! I had all this and left FEELING GOOD! Too awesome!
My lunch today somehow topped yesterday. I had the Cinnamon Toast Crunch smoothie and was at a loss for words on how delicious it was. Better than any smoothie I've ever had (honestly, I could have one every day - and the head chef shared with me that he actually does! haha). The Falafel Sandwich was... Well, you're going to think I'm gushing about this place too much, but just trust me... That Falafel Sandwich is unreal. You can tell they use fresh, organic spices (cumin is one of my favorite spices and this completely blew my mind with how good this cumin was). I spent time talking to the friendly team (did I mention how great these people are?) and found out they grow their chickpeas in house! Yeah, each Falafel Sandwich takes three days to make! Talk about a labor of love!
I could (and will) talk about my time here for a long, long time. It isn't just a "hidden gem" in terms of restaurants are concerned - the food didn't just taste good; I didn't just admire the dedication they have; the service wasn't just prompt, friendly and considerate; this place was more than "just" a great restaurant... It was an experience that I am genuinely thankful for.
