   Wonderful food and great service. We eat there quite often and have always had great service. Maybe time to reupholster some of the beautiful green Booths. Great restaurant and I would advise anyone to go there.

   Very overpriced with poor ambiance. The server made errors that were carried through to our bill (brought entrée with incorrect side, was charged for requested correct side). Food was ok, several items were "out of stock", including the buffalo sauce for a buffalo chicken appetizer. Yet, the appetizer was later provided with the sauce, with the explanation that "the chef had time to make more". That's impressive that your chef made the time to make food that was ordered.

   We had a party of 10 for an early dinner: 1 vegetarian, 1 allergic to gluten, dairy & eggs, 1 diabetic, 4 on other diets. 1 wants high protein, ie not vegetarian; 1 can’t navigate buffets; most are picky; several dislike noise; few cuisines are enjoyed by all 10…so there aren’t many restaurants we all truly enjoy. TFK is definitely one! Menu had many options appealing to each of us, is labeled for dietary restrictions & calories; the only hard part was choosing! We tried an array of starters, entrees, desserts, & drinks with & w/o alcohol, sharing bites & sips so we each had an extensive sampling. Everything earned rave reviews from even our foodies and other pickiest family, for the extra flavorful, fresh, “clean” ingredients and appealing recipes. 1 felt their salad was the best they’ve had in a restaurant, even upscale ones in top produce-growing regions: FL to CA to tropical Latin America. There were few desserts; each was GF w/a vegan option, but we all had our sweet tooth satiated. Our allergic guest was thrilled since she can rarely eat enjoyable desserts at restaurants, & she wasn’t tempted to eat food that makes her ill. We didn’t notice any 2nd-string staff despite a Sunday eve. Items were prepared and served promptly. Our excellent server Hazel easily handled our custom requests & Q’s including finding answers to the few she didn’t know, & always appeared right when we needed her w/o hovering or awkwardly interrupting, not easy with a large group. Highest quality, healthy, sustainably & humanely-raised food by definition costs above average, so their prices are quite fair. Most dinner entrees were $20-30, bar drinks $6-18 but much less at happy hour, along with most starters. Portions run a bit small for the US, controlling price & calories. Free parking garage is just to the North. Likely noisier when busy. A restaurant of this concept can only improve when local produce is in season vs. our current end of winter, so we’ll definitely return!

   Service was great. Wine had sediment and they apologized. Food was great. Overall bill was a bit $$. Seated at a soso table away in the corner yet folks without reservations got seated at better tables so not sure I would use Open Table to book at this restaurant.

   Lovely venue, food was fresh and super delicious, best lunch I have had in a great while. Added bonus that food is not processed and felt great about eating a meal that is great for my health. Server was super attentive and helpful with our menu questions. Highly recommend!

    The food was good, but a bit pricey for what it was. We wrote on our reservation details that we were celebrating our fifth anniversary, and the waiter didn’t mention or acknowledge it at all. The biggest issue was just that the restaurant was out of a lot of food and drink options! They didn’t have my first two beverage choices, my entree choice, or my first dessert choice.
