"One of the best meals of my life! Highly recommend their ratatouille and grilled salmon. We tried the grilled shrimp as well - it really really good. Service was very pleasant."

"8 people ordered dishes here and we are all pretty happy with our dishes. I ate the chickpea curry, falafel and ratatouille quesadillas. Love how many vegan and vegetarian options are there. Some guest likes the pasta bolognese and lasagna. I don’t like the quinoa so much but perhaps it is personal taste."

"Beautiful restaurant, casual, clean, and a nice open airy feel. The restaurant has a very inviting feel to it. We stopped in for lunch before heading up the coast for some sightseeing. I had the Caprese sandwich with gluten-free bread. It's so hard to find gluten-free bread that doesn't have a funky texture and doesn't fall apart when it gets wet from the juices of the food it's paired with, but this bread was not only yummy but held up as I bit into it. My partner had the Tomato Barrata, and I'm sure he could have eaten an entire pan of it if he could. We both had ordered a Whiskey Sour that didn't disappoint. I love that they had numerous vegan and gluten-free options."
