One of the dishes we ordered was the shrimp plate. The shrimp came out with blackened edges and looked burned. Also it took a very long time to get our order. A group that ordered two parties behind us in line got their order delivered 10 to 15 minutes before us. The rest of our orders were well prepared and tasted good.

Haven't been to this place in years. Quality of food is still good, not great, given the cost. It wasn't as busy either. It was my second choice since my first choice for lunch was closed.

tendergreens... fresh delicious salads and tasty fish. would give five stars but they changed the menu and no longer serve the salmon bowl with the purple potatoes... that one was my favorite. the rest are good too, just not as good. we ordered a Thai inspired bowl, the Pacific bowl, and the longevity bowl.
