    The food is still pretty good but the service makes you feel like you're in a factory. This was dinner, not lunch, but I felt rushed the whole time.

    Sara thank you for bringing this to our attention; we do not want our guests to feel rushed during their visit. We will coach our team members on this and we look forward to seeing you another time.

    Serviceable, but just not very delicious. Service was entirely lackluster, from the seating host to the wait staff. Nobody who wrks there seems to be having a very good time.

    We're sorry to hear about your experience with the service and food, Gregory. Thank you for your feedback, and we'll work on improving these aspects to enhance your next visit.

    It was quite busy and even though we had a reservation, we felt very rushed by the server and the food was really mediocre this time.

    Good selection of organic and all natural foods. Service is slow though and portions are on the smaller side.

    We loved the food but I think the chocolate chip cookie dessert wasn’t completely dairy free as they suggested since I felt discomfort after so reducing one star

    Thank you for your feedback, Sundar. We're glad you loved the food, but we're sorry for any discomfort caused by the dessert. We'll review this with our team to ensure accuracy in our menu descriptions.
