Great food with plenty of options for health conscious decisions including vegetarian, gluten free, and low calorie. The website lets you customize your dish to see exactly what the nutritional values are, including calories, fat, carbs, protein, and sodium. Service was a bit lackluster in regards to refills, check promptness, and overall attentiveness. (3 visits - 3 different wait staff)

My wife and I have often come here and it is simply excellent. The food, to the staff, to the wait even when it's busy which it usually is has been exceptional. The cleanliness as well has been great. I just can't say enough. Top notch.
