They are a fast-casual spot (think Chipotle) where you walk in and order your food. The food is made right in front of you as you order, so you know it's fresh! They have all the standard fixes with a few twists. One major twist that's unique to this spot is that they will grill the veggies in their signature vinaigrette before they throw it on your meal. I also tried their queso and chips, and I have to say they got some awesome queso and salsa. Price-wise, they are in line with what you'd expect. I ordered their Loaded Chicken Bowl with chips, queso, and a water cup for around $15. My bowl had black beans, southwest rice, chicken, grilled corn, jalapeños, and their chipotle ranch. The restaurant itself is cozy and clean, and happens to be located in the plaza next to Lowes Foods on Forest Drive. I really dig this spot and think it's a great addition to the food scene. I plan on returning any time I want that fast-casual Tex-Mex experience.

Rachel was quick, witty and so sweet and had a way with the kiddos my daughter loved her. We started off with the cast iron goat cheese as the appetizer- solid and even the kids loved it. For our main course my daughter went with the grilled cheese from the kids menu that came with fries and a coke, my son just got a burger with everything but tomato from the regular menu and devoured the entire plate, I was torn between the Mediterranean bowl or the Baja bowl however Rachel recommended the honey harissa bowl with a crab cake and let me tell you it was amazing! Literally tasted so fresh and delicious, my husband was going to go with the steak however they unfortunately were out so he went with his second choice which was the creole shrimp and grits which he cleared the plate but that too was sooo delicious. All in all this place was a solid 5 stars all the way around from, service to atmosphere and flavor and just the freshness of the ingredients they use here.

It was a small place with really no decorations, small tables with some metal chairs, and a counter in the rear to place your orders. Nothing wrong with any of it, just not what I envisioned. The menu is very healthy, with basically chicken and Turkey sandwiches, wraps, and a vegan section. Three of us ordered the Turkey club sandwiches and one ordered the chicken wrap. The sandwiches came with a side pasta which was good. Everyone liked their food. They have canned soda and a styrofoam cup with ice.

But the service was terrible. We are here visiting from ouy of state, and on a look up for wood fired pizza, this restaurant came up. It has an uppity atmosphere, and thinking thst is just a pizza parlor it is not. So we were probably underdressed, but that doesn't mean we should be ignored. And we were. Our waitress was attentive to her other tables, but she only visited our table 4 times. Ordering, drinks, food a refill of the wrong drink and check. I am quite sure my platinum card is just as green as anyone else's, and we were not treated well.

The food is simply incredible. My husband had the Caesar Salad and the Boeuf Bourguignon. I had the Burrata Caprese Salad and the Rousseau Pizza.

For dessert, we took the advice of our server and ordered the Ube Basque Cheesecake. Wow! (Pictured is the portion we brought home.) I'm a good cook, so when eating out, I expect to have a meal that surpasses my skills. And this most certainly did. The presentation was excellent. I don't give the ambiance a 10, but that's so secondary to the meal I just enjoyed. Thank you to Chef Emma and team!

There was also a nice roasted red pepper and black olive salad that came with it. My only criticism is that I felt like the portion of octopus was small for $21. Then I decided to try the Boeuf bourguignon. This was definitely comfort food. A very tasty beef stew, but a bit different recipe than I'm used to for this dish. Theirs has potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, and onions. But the broth tastes like they might also use a touch of tomato paste. I could be wrong. Nonetheless, it was tasty and the thick broth was yummy on the piece of crusty bread it was served with. I'm tempted to come back and order the entree size of the octopus for $32 and see what the portion size is. Service was excellent. Very attentive.

We came in a bit later in their dinner service and had no issue being sat and were even able to park in their small adjoined parking lot rather than hunting for street parking. I went with the grilled chicken kebabplate and subbed the Greek Salad for a small side of pita and hummus instead. I also wanted to try the kofta so was able to order one piece à la carte to try. It didn't take long for the generously portioned meal to come out....and it also didn't take long for my plate to be scraped clean. Everything was fresh, tasted excellence and seasoned to perfection. I preferred the chicken to the kofta but was glad I tried both. Pro tip - make sure to ask for a side of the yummy salad dressing to mix into your rice to really lake the flavor over the board with the chicken! Between the great food and service I see what the hype is a about for this little Columbia long-time staple.
