Food is delicious, fresh, consistent, and great customer service! The Brazilian, Mexican, and Thai udon bowls w/char chicken are our faves! The Dragonfruit drink is perfect! Refreshing and not too sweet. Bonus...the cookies are yummy!

Service was fast and friendly. The atmosphere was calm and peaceful. The music was not too loud. The lighting was not too harsh. The food is amazing here and the chocolate chip cookies are wonderful. Probably my favorite restaurant in Florida.

Great little spot. Had to wait less than 10 minutes to be seated. Food was quick and tasty! I got the hot and crunchy with seared tuna. Delicious and refreshing, the drinks were also very good and heavy on the champagne which is not bad!

It’s a great option for a healthy meal, that services beer and wine. We were celebrating my birthday. I love the spicy Brazilian, with spaghetti squash. My friends got the tuna bowl and lived it

Good healthy selections on the menu and some unique other options. Favorites are the Asian salad with charred chicken and the hot honey pizza is outstanding! The staff is always friendly, but we usually get our order as a takeout to enjoy at home.
