Alyssa A., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on October 17, wrote, "This was hands down the best meal I have had in a very long time. I ordered fresh-squeezed pineapple lemonade and, on the heels of that, a green juice that was unexpectedly tasty and most certainly very healthy. The tortilla soup was unreal. Garbanzo beans, a flavorful broth that wasn't overly spicy but had a complexity I appreciated. The veal main dish was spectacular."
Michaela S. added, "The food is fresh, wholesome, absolutely delicious, generously sized and flavorful. On top of that, the service was impeccable. Everyone, and I mean everyone, was so incredibly friendly, and in a genuine way."
