The day I was there (first time)with a friend, the place was still in the middle of remodeling. I think the staff may have been new. They were very unorganized, the coffee wasnt ready and we had to wait twice for someone to refill the coffee station. There wasnt any one we can order food from. The flow on how things work to order food wasnt very clear or labeled. The staff were all in the kitchen at once. We waited a long time for someone to come out and take our order. May not be fair only 4 stars but to me they failed in customer service and organization. On the other hand, the place is aesthetically appealing to the eye, if you like the rustic country look. I enjoyed the decor and ambiance. The food was very good and proportions were generous. I will definitely come back in the near future.

Huge portions and the food is incredible. I expect to have about half of anything I order then bring the rest home for another meal or two. For the quantity and quality, I felt the prices for entrees were fair. As I hoped, the produce was noticeably fresh (golden beets, zucchini, and tomatoes really stood out last time). There are gluten-free and vegetarian options. I am not vegetarian and I think they do a great job with their meat dishes as well (smothered chicken is one of the best Ive ever had).

Rustically adorable place,fantastic,freshly prepared food-menu items range from healthy/vegetarian options to homemade comfort food.HUGE portions! Great first date place.You pick out what you want from the display case. Gillian,a co-owner, was utterly sweet & charming. What a find! I Google the area & liked the menu & we decided to give it a try. Loved it! Am taking an outta town guest there this weekend. I was a restaurant chef & I dont generally heap praise on a place but...yes!

Hands down the best food I have ever tried. It is beautiful inside, the staff was exceptionally kind and helpful...and the food was to die for! Ive been looking for a great farm-to-table restaurant and I need to look no further! Their sandwiches, their desserts, salads, soups, sides...every bite was the best bite Ive ever had. I look forward to going back throughout the week. So happy you are open!

This place is AMAZING. So many savory vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options. I am so happy this restaurant exists. They make going vegan way easier. Their dishes are not only filling but also delicious! Affordable, delicious food and great service. Definitely give their food a try if you havent already! You will be happy you did and I guarantee youll become a regular like me.

It reminds me of my Grandma Nonna Romanos home cooking.Such authentic homestyle comfort food that you can actually taste the love that goes into it. Everything we ordered was fantastic top quality ingredients. Perfectly seasoned and toasted. I didnt feeel heavy after leaving. I love the whole concept of the restaurant and owners and staff are so friendly. Keep up the great work!

Omg! The chicken pot pie was Heaven! So delicious we made Little Pigs of ourselves eating it. There are Citrus bread pudding is literally to die for! Everything was made fresh and it was hard to make a decision as to what to eat. We wrapped it up and took it home and weve been talking about it ever since. Cant wait to go back! Sorry no pictures we ate it all too fast!

I past this place all the time not knowing what they have. A friend of mine recommend it, so I stopped in to look. My first reaction was I wanted everything. I got the artichoke and spinach quiche and the stuffed mushroom to go. As I was eating it I was ready to go back for more. Do not make the mistake and drive by. Food is unbelievably delicious and healthy.

Came here with a large group and the amount of food you get is almost absurd. All the entrees were delicious. Its mostly self serve, but theyll heat things and present them nicely. The chicken pot pie bar was amazing. My only problem was the "cheesecake." Was good for what it was, but it wasnt cheesecake. It was crumbly and had a thick coconut base.

I decided to give this place a try since there were so many good reviews. However, when I walked in and looked at the food on display I couldnt imagine myself eating it. I love fresh greens and farmers market fresh food, but this food didnt look good at all! I had some chicken soup instead which was delicious, but thats it.

I never write reviews and Im actually taking the time to write one because my wife and I love this place. The food is absolutely incredible. The stuffed cauliflower was amazing and the lemon kale salad was delicious. We get take out there twice a week. It is great to have a healthy food (that tastes great) take out option.

Visiting from out of town and stopped here. It was delicious, my husband and I left no crumb!! There were tons of options but Ashley helped explain everything and waited patiently for us to decide. the customer service gets A++ for their cheerful helpfulness. Fresh, delicious food is a beautiful thing! We will be back!!

Tried six different meals so far and have not been discipointed. Items are always fresh, portions generous and presentation is outstanding. A great atmosphere and value. I wish I could keep this place a secret. If they get too popular they may run out of my favorite selections.

I got 4 different dishes because Im traveling and didnt want to stop for food later and theres 2 of us. Do not order that much food for 2 people from here, it is delicious however 1 meal can feed 2 so great food, great prices, holy wow the quantity.

Eating here was the highlight of my day. The way they combine ingredients and the friendly ambience makes this a must! The food was over the top delicious and they use the freshest ingredients they can find. Will definitely be back!

Very good. Very much like homemade food! Marinara sauce was good. Really appreciated the owners involvement in set up and service, outside of the large amounts of delicious food from the kitchen.

Incredible surprise. The food was delicious. Some of the food was traditional and some was traditional with a twist. The portion sizes were incredible and the prices were very very fair.

Food is top notch. Jill is great. This is a market where you can pick up meals or eat at tables. Would be a great place to pick up dinner on the way home from work.
