I visited this place for the first time yesterday and I had a great experience. The atmosphere is small but cozy, with a wonderful ambiance that we loved. Out waiter was nice and patient. We started with a non-alcoholic drink that was delicious (for those that don’t drink alcohol this is the best option) followed by a sushi appetizer that was also really good. For our entrées, the salmon with roas

We stopped by for lunch and had a great experience! We ordered the nachos, chips and guacamole, tacos, bowls, and burritos, and everything was fresh and flavorful. The drinks were also excellent, and the service was friendly and attentive throughout our visit! The location is another highlight, with great views of the water and a relaxing, fun atmosphere that made it easy to enjoy the meal. Great

I have always wanted to try this restaurant and thank God I finally did. The menu is a great balance of vegan and non-vegan options. I went with a group of four and we were all super happy with the food. I wish I could go daily but that would get pricey🤣 The decor is super eclectic and funky which is a fun vibe while near the water. There is a reason why people come far and wide for this place!

The food is of the highest quality and taste with a menu that has loads of vegetarian and vegan options along with non-vegetarian ones as well. If you are gluten free, there’s plenty to choose from as well. The prices are very good for the area and qualit
