Solid place for a meal. Ingredients are fresh and dishes are beautiful. Not worth waiting in a long line for, but good for a meal.

Our server, Dazne, was stellar! She recommended the most delicious off-menu cocktail called Golden Hour to compliment our work-lunch shenanigans. She was accommodating and had the best vibe. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Food was great, of course. We had a mix of entrees from a mid-day breakfast bowl (because if you didn’t know, the breakfast menu ends at 4pm!!!), Crispy Rice Bowl, Shrimp Pasta and a Chicken Burger. We ended it with Jalapeño margs and two desserts - Sticky Date Pudding and Banana Bread. An odd combo, I know. But Dazne wasn’t judging and neither should you! Whoops no pics but just trust me. We’ll be back for more “lunch meetings.”
