Description

An airy, health-focused eatery offers refined all-day breakfast, paninis, burgers, smoothies and freshly pressed juices, with clean presentation and fine-dining techniques. Staff are attentive and accommodating—especially for gluten- and dairy-free diners—with a separate prep area and thoughtful allergy handling; generous desserts and coffee are highlights.

Criticisms include occasional service mistakes, one resolved contamination incident, and a perception of high prices with modest portions for some diners. Overall it’s a welcoming, consistent spot with quality food and minimal waits.

Tasty food and yummy smoothies. Nice ambience. Only issues was that my friend got a minute piece of glass in his smoothie. They gently changed it with a fresh glass. Also the same friend asked to remove bacon from a panini, and it was not done first time, and was re made later. Management didn’t offer any kind of complimentary despite of these, felt little bad about it. Everything else was good.

I wanted to like this place so much. Food is okay but Overpriced ! for 2 egg plates and one pancake, 2 coffee we paid $42 . And I was not even full ! Good service . I just wished for bigger portions.

Excellent food, clean, healthy and not too pricey. Nice space, personally I think it's a better alternative to Raymond's across the street (especially when they're packed on weekends...I definitely would not wait and would just go to Sensible Fork, there's hardly ever a wait, it's not noisy and pretty much everything on the menu is better). Definitely worth a try

Awesome health conscious American fare Traditional all day breakfast, paninis, burgers, smoothies, fresh juices, soups all made with fine dining cooking technique. Everything is just perfectly made from the good sear to the meats, vegetables, bread toasted and sweet potato fries crisp and not greasy, delicious fresh made soups to the freshly pressed or squeezed juices and smoothies. The owner mentioned that the soups are all gluten free and all the meals can be made gluten free as well. They
