The salad bar looked fine but the pastas, baked foods, and desserts made me loose my appetite I didn’t want to eat anything when I walked through the small selection. They didn’t even have straws for the beverages.

The choices of salad and toppings were good. They needed to be colder just a bit. Example: beets were warm. Some had spilled topping along the counter so I had to keep picking my tray up as to not drag it thru the mess. They preferred method of payment was cash. But they did take cards also. They only items you can get yourself is the drinks and the pizza. Everything else you have to ask to be served as it is behind plastic sheeting. Muffins a normal size that you can make yourself at home. I believe they had 4 kinds. Their soups looked old as someone needed to stir them they had a layer of film on the top. I asked for the clam chowder. It was not very hot. They had baked potatoes. Which you had to ask for them to fix it all up with the toppings. You can not do it yourself. No bread sticks as I remember from before. The desert bar consisted of ice cream that they scoop for you (only vanilla) it tasted as if it was refreezed and mixed it with new ice cream. They had toppings but I passed.They ambiance was if I was at a Mexican restaurant in Mexico as the music was in a different language. Mexican music. The bathrooms were very messy. Toilet paper on the floors and dirty toilets. Yellow on the backs of the toilets as if men were allowed to use the women's bathroom. My husband and I said that it's like it's on its last legs. While I thought it would be nice to go to fresh choice. This is definitely NOT the fresh choice I remember. I will not be returning.

The meal also came with a choice of soup or salad, along with a unique and tasty Chicken Wrap. The food was juicy and satisfying. Highly recommend for anyone in the Gilroy or Bay Area looking for great eats! #gilroy #gilroyfood #gilroydowntown #bayareaeats #bayarea #bayareafoodie #foodie #foodblogger
