It was my first time eating here, we took one of my coworker?s for a Birthday lunch. I sat in the outside patio area and I sat... on a chair that was full or a sticky substance (syrup). When I tried to get up my butt was stuck to the chair = My coworker wentto call a manager and a girl came and spoke to me. When I explained the situation they acted like it was no big deal, mind youI?m on my lunch and I have to go back to work with 2 huge white stains on my butt. The least they could have done is shown moreempathy but they didn?t seem to even care. I expected for them to handle the situation differently. Coming from a customerservice background I felt they didn?t value me as a patron. I asked the ?manager? if she could give me a partial refund on mymeal since the whole ordeal caused me to lose my appetite. She told me that she couldn?t offer me a refund but offered me a fewdrinks. I?m really disappointed in the way I was treated. They have 0 concept of customer service. I will definitely neverreturn to this place. They need better customer service! Read more

I did an online order and my food was ready when I got there so that was a plus, it wasn?t busy at all when I arrived so I was... able to get to the cash register right away. I had to call in a couple things because they don?t give you any option to add onextra stuff, put in notes for putting things in the side, no á la carte options, etc. I attempted to pick up my order throughthe drive thru but was denied and had to back out of their long drive thru to get out and head inside, not sure why this is arule and it?s inconvenient when they have a drive thru. The customer service here is not that great, they?re not rude but theydon?t care much about giving a great experience. No greeting, no thank you, and when a discrepancy was brought up they didn?tcare to fix it and just said they were sorry. I was excited about the variety of food but once I got my hummus and salmon Greeksalad I was extremely disappointed due to how bland everything was. Literally no seasoning on the salmon at all and this is theonly place I?ve been to that has such thin salmon! It was so dry and bland, had to season it myself when I got home. The saladalso had no flavor and instead of Greek dressing I got oil and basaltic vinegar. Call me crazy but salads have flavor to me,this one was flavorless and the amount you get for the price is just sad. The hummus was also extremely bland and barely decentenough to eat. This place is pricey and I spent a lot of money, the disappointment I experienced in both customer service andfood will make me look elsewhere. I?ve never had bad Mediterranean cuisine until I came here. Maybe it was the cooks that workedthere today around lunch time, but either way it was just plain awful. Read more

Had always been my favorite place and was psyched to see the drive thru was finally open. Everything I have had has always been... delicious and my fave is the greek chicken salad but for some odd reason it tasted like fish. ???? I'm allergic & since I was onmy lunch break I couldn't go back. I tossed it. Why does salad taste like fish was my chicken fried with a salmon order orsomething?? Angie Read more

Stopped by for dinner last night and it was not too busy. They have a large menu to choose from and several choices for beer and... wine. I ordered the Mediterranean platter as an appetizer which consisted of Tzatziki and cucumber, hummus with peppers, redonion and olives, and goat cheese with carrots and red onions. This was served with a side of pita bread and was absolutelydelicious. As our main dish I had the salmon plate and my wife had the chicken breast risotto. The salmon was a bit blandbeing slightly under seasoned and the risotto was overly seasoned which made the dish slightly unpleasant. The chicken breastwas very flavorful but the dijon mustard-type dressing on the chicken was strong and we had to scrape most of it off in orderfor it to be enjoyable. This has the same batch of risotto as the salmon plate so it was the same issue. Both dishes came withsteamed vegetables (green squash, yellow squash, and broccoli) and and two asparagus spears which were all quitedelicious. With this we ordered two sprites which came in 'to-go' cups and we weren't sure if refills were included as we werenever asked by the server if we wanted a refill, but then again we never asked. In all for these 2 drinks and 2 plates and 1appetizer our bill was $65. Not terrible but not a budget friendly spot. I wouldn't have an issue with the price if the salmonplate would have been better but I could have had a similar bland dish having made it at home for less. Generally I go out toeat when I'm bored of my simple food at home. High prices for plain foods are not ideal for me but the then again this place hassuch a large menu that I can't base my opinion in just these two dishes alone. Next time I will stop by for breakfast and thenlunch. Read more

Was visiting my Father over the weekend and he recommend to eat at this local place and wow, I?m sure glad he did! The food is... incredibly fresh and they have an incredibly great menu with a variety of choices to choose from like burgers, salads, wraps,pastas, seafood, sandwiches and more! I was a little hesitant to order this shrimp and salmon with risotto plate because of howhigh the price of the dish was, but I have no regrets! I really wish they would open up more locations, especially in theTemecula SoCal area, because they would do soo well!! Read more

This place has great on the healthy side options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Their fresh orange juice is refreshing and... paired well with the chicken avocado panini I ordered. You can substitute fries for fruit or other options they have. I Was notdisappointed at all with today?s breakfast. Outdoor seating is available and it was great eating outdoors under nice weather. Ihope I can come back soon. Read more
