I came back to this restaurant because the same seafood risotto I had previously was creamy and…read moreexcellent. This time, however, the dish was noticeably sour -- not tangy, but unpleasantly acidic to the point I couldn't finish it. A cream-based dish should not taste like this. Something was clearly off in the preparation. What was more disappointing was the response. The staff acknowledged the issue but only offered 50% off instead of remaking or removing the dish. When a customer cannot eat a dish due to a quality problem, I would expect it to be corrected, not partially charged. I don't usually leave negative reviews, but I returned specifically for this dish based on a good prior experience, so this was very disappointing.

My boss ordered the New England clam chowder and beef skewers, and I had the lunch Greek salad along with the fried calamari. Everything was delicious, fresh, and well-prepared. The service was quick and attentive, which we really appreciated during a workday. The menu offers a wide variety of options, which can feel a little overwhelming at first, but it also means there's something for everyone. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I'll definitely be back; especially since it's just 10 minutes from the office!

I ordered a bacon egg and cheese on a hard roll. I asked for my egg to be cooked "hard". I was served a runny egg. I couldn't eat it. I planned to take it home to heat a bit more. At the register you can view the cooks. The person handling my food reached on my plate glove free and put it in a box. I couldn't eat the sandwich after witnessing that. Then someone parked behind my car which wasn't a parking spot. It turned into a huge commotion for me to get to work on time. I know it was an off day, but the likelihood of me returning anytime soon is slim. The staff is courteous but served my food without listening to my needs.

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.
