Cute place to grab locally sourced dishes! Everything is fresh with some ingredients grown and used right on sight from their greenhouses. Very eco friendly as everything is served in compostable dish-ware. It’s also in an adorably cute location in the park with unique seating. Definitely worth a visit as the food tastes and feels so healthy!
