A discovery on our way to L.A from San Francisco. It made me want to try it even without being hungry. We were very kindly welcomed by Sandy, really adorable,by offering us an offer on the salad that interested us, a marvel! You can see in the open kitchen, the preparers working in a good atmosphere and quickly! It was beautiful to see! Thank you for the gifts and your good mood!! I recommend 1000%.

Parking: Very busy but good

The good is delicious we mostly come eat only after a hike or just on our free time and the food always hits the right way never had a complaint for the past 7months

Parking: I always go with a hand full of freinds each with there own car and we always have parking space for every single one of us no complaints here except the homeless in the area do leave trash or e even there own customers but what can you do with people like that
