I'm going to start by mentioning some items are a little expensive. They did taste good. A lot of us know when you're eating healthier it usually costs more when you eat out. This is such a cool quaint cozy super cool looking place with a great chill vibe going on. Such a comfortable feeling from the moment you walked through the door. Hard to explain but I'm sure plenty of you know EXACTLY what I'm talking about. The decor is seriously on point. See attached pics. Love the strings of lights with the bulbs running thorough the place. Extremely pleasant young woman at the counter taking my order and making my food. I will get your name next time I'm here and give you a shout out. You deserve it. Very helpful & patient for my first time here. She took the time to explain on some questions I had. Smoothies are very fresh & delicious. Excellent. Outstanding. The burrito was awesome. So very healthy. The egg bake tasted just like a quiche. Basic. The Buddha bowl was good. Spicy chic peas good. Sweet potatoes delicious. Rice & quinoa average basic. What you'd expect. The place is extremely clean. Immaculate plenty people would say and it shows. All in all I really can't wait to return. I already have my eyes on a couple other items to try. Avocado toast. Also The Awakening poached eggs w/ spinach. Guess I'll be back in this area sooner than I had planned. I was here today 8.29.20 staff wearing masks. All social distancing adhered to. Signs up. Sanitizer available.

So sweet to us and understanding we had just ate, professional and recommended dishes for our next visit, other great places, just one of the best servers we have had recently. The restaurant offers indoor seating, has a lovely bar area, I saw two tables that looked perfect for a wintery romantic dinner by the fireplace (electric I think). But it's the outdoor dining on the water that's truly special. I asked Katie about the beautiful flowers everywhere and she explained the owners wife handles them all. Talk about a green thumb!! Amazing. Idk why the low rating on yelp but I wanted to give five stars for service, ambience, and cleanliness but couldn't because we didn't eat so tomorrow I hope to add to this review with our food experience. Go with complete confidence. Unfortunately Katie is going back to teaching kiddos soon but just go.

Take out for my first time here. Pizza only, one eggplant and one Margherita. Upon entering, a few…read morethings to note. First, it's a very warm and inviting space with the open wood burning oven right in front of you with two separate dining rooms on either side. Both sides have a TV on the wall and one side has a full bar. I was greeted nicely and my pizza was ready when they said it would be. On the downside, there's no handicapped parking in front, which I would think is illegal. There's not even a ramp anywhere close to the entrance. There's other negative is that there was nowhere to sit and wait for take out. This might be due to the Christmas tree and decoration but I don't know. So, why 3 stars? The pizza was just ok. They are small (12"), and, yes, less expensive, but just ok. I don't like Parmesan sprinkled on top of my pizza but saw them put it on every pie. This should be a request, not a given. I've heard good things about the food so I may dine in sometime, but won't get the pizza again.

The two chefs that were teaching the class (Sarah and her husband, who's name escapes me) were really fun, personable, and eager to answer my questions.

The sushi we made was the spicy tuna and salmon, avocado, cucumber rolls.

This is a genuinely elegant restaurant and banquet space, with a lot of work put it in to make it…read morelook nice. The banquet hall is very large and could easily accommodate 200 people, though we reserved it for a much smaller party. The two brothers who manage the restaurant are also very friendly and professional, they accommodated everything we needed and were flexible to all our requests. We reserved their private dining hall and buffet area for our annual family reunion. The value is great if you incorporate the fact that it is a private banquet hall with a buffet, but if you don't really need the private dining experience then it is a little expensive when you consider the menu. The menu we were offered was relatively cheap from a cost perspective (all but one dish was chicken) for about double what we would expect to pay for similar menus elsewhere, but figured the ambiance would be worth it. As for the food: the naan was good and fresh 5/5, chicken biryani was very good 5/5, chicken karahi tasted exceptional but was more like a mix of pre-made chicken leg karahi with chicken breasts tossed in 4/5, we also had chana masala, mixed grill kebabs, and chicken tandoori which were all fairly average 3.5/5. Now comes to the reason for the 3 star rating... the Beef Nihari was a 0/5. And the reason this is important is because the manager and I went back and forth on the menu and I specifically had him add the beef nihari at a significant upcharge because our family reunion is not complete until our patriarch gets his nihari. As someone who travels all over the country specifically for Nihari, I can honestly say this was the worst I've ever had and was a huge disappointment amid an otherwise great dinner. It was just a flavorless hot beef stew. They would have been better off just telling us that they don't do a good Nihari. Summary: Go for the biryani and the karahi, skip the Nihari!
