Lovely little place with a great mission to serve the community and a focus on helping the less fortunate. Instead of a tip for food service workers, you can choose to contribute to a "pay it forward" fund to help provide free meals to the needy. If you're hungry and can't afford a meal, you can discreetly order a meal from the pay it forward fund.
The food is made from locally-sourced ingredients when possible, and is fresh, healthy, and delicious. Wonderful vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options. A restaurant totally worthy of anyone's support!

This place is Stellar not only is the food great but their tip system pays it forward to people that are less fortunate and they give away approximately 20 free meals every day so they're just doing the things that God would want us to do by loving our neighbors
