amazing restaurant ! lively venue and lots of healthy choices . I highly recommend the inside out quinoa burger , the teriyaki bowl with chicken , and the panang chicken curry 😋

Bison burger , kale salad , and sweet potato hash is very good and healthy. Bison is one of the healthiest meat you can eat when compare to chicken , turkey , beef , or pork .
