Fodor's Review:

What this eatery lacks in setting—it's in a strip mall that contains Office Max and Wal-Mart—it makes up for with modern decor and fantastic food. When in season, the out-of-this-world heirloom tomato salad puts any mainland variation to shame. The vegan offerings, which range from garlic fries to potpie, are good enough to seduce meat-eaters. Other excellent options include cheese fondue, pepper steak, roasted chicken breast stuffed with pine nuts and garlic cream cheese, and any of the salads (the beet salad is a standout). Prices are exceedingly reasonable given the quality of the food.

What a pleasant surprise! The food was outstanding. We went 2 days in a row for dinner. Be sure to try the heirloom tomato salad, French onion soup. Kid friendly too!
