My mom & I found this place on a whim while shopping at the mall, & it did not disappoint! Our server was very knowledgeable about celiac & cross-contamination, & he pointed in the direction of some amazing dishes. He explained that they’re a seasonal restaurant, so their menu changes each season to fit what is locally grown & in season for that time. As an appetizer, we split the hummus with gf pita. I haven’t had pita since being diagnosed, & this was amazing, so light & fluffy & served nice & warm. The hummus was delicious, and was served with a salad of cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, Kalamata olives, red onions, and feta cheese. The olives were a little sweet, which lent a nice sweetness to the dish as a whole. As an entree, my mom had the butternut squash soup, which was a appetizer served as a main course. It was so delicious and creamy, and hard to believe it was a vegan dish. I enjoyed the shrimp tacos for my entree, & they were so flavorful, served with a side of cauliflower rice & street corn, which was one of the best bites I’ve had in a long time! To finish our evening, we shared the cookies & cream, which were two chocolate chip cookies serve the side of vanilla bean ice cream. The cookies were delicious and soft baked, with large chunks of chocolate in them. The ice cream was a great addition, & was served topped with cacao nibs. Overall, we enjoyed every bite we had here, & will definitely be returning in the future! We can’t wait to see what the next season brings for their menu!
