The burger could have used a bit more spice and slightly less filler, but considering the location, it’s still a good value for the money. The portion of sweet potato fries was plentiful and satisfactory. I really appreciate their commitment to sustainability with the use of recycled cardboard for their eco-friendly takeout and lunch containers! I’m excited to try more items from the menu, especially since breakfast seems to be quite popular here. The dining area is comfortable, with additional seating options in the main space of Restaurant Row. There are benches and terrace umbrellas that provide a pleasant atmosphere. Most of the clientele appear to be local workers from nearby businesses, though there are also some tourists visiting now and then. The area is family-friendly, with ample parking available in the structure on Pohukaina Street, accessible from Punchbowl or South Street. Just remember to validate your parking ticket at the register. The restroom is located on the second floor near the parking structure, and there’s a handicapped ramp next to it, which is very convenient for strollers as well. They offer free Wi-Fi and accept credit cards, plus there’s validated parking available. I look forward to visiting again to see how consistent their service and food quality are. I would definitely come back!

I had her French onion, tomato bisque, chicken soup and corn chowder. Everyone was a fully developed soup. I woke courageously and tried the grilled vegetable sandwich and was glad I did. It was so big, I had the other half the next day. PLUS, they have a delicious, crispy, chocolate chip cookies that come in bags of three. I'm looking forward to trying the ribs soon. You also have a reward option that gave me a free tea. Enjoy!
