Veronica and her team are the absolute best! Aside from the great food and atmosphere, the team and employees are the reason I choose this tendergreens over the others! Thank you for always being so hospital Veronica and you’re awesome team!

Glad to have a healthy restaurant choice at the Spectrum. Food is ordered at the register and brought to your table fairly quickly. The steak was delicious. The Salmon was a bit bland but it mixed well with the California bowl. This is a great healthy option at the Spectrum.

The food is always fresh and delicious, and the team working there is both efficient and friendly. I work across the street and eat here for lunch at least once a week. Don't sleep on their baked goods -- the cookies are FANTASTIC.
