It was an excellent choice for a lunch, even in an Saturday. We arrived 11:30 and it wasn’t crowded. They have a regular menu plus a special menu that changes every 2 months. Today was the last day of the current specials. I had ind if the best, freshest salads with fruit and nuts with a special dressing that was light and complemented the salad. My niece had the Avocado tacos that looked really good and she said were delicious. Definitely a good place to have a leisurely lunch with friends and or family especially if you want to carry on a conversation. The restaurant has recently been remodeled and is very comfortable and with a modern low keyed atmosphere. Will definitely go back and will recommend to my friends.
