The food is unique and delicious without stepping too far out of the familiar - check out the menu for an idea of what I mean. All of the ingredients are clearly very fresh and well sourced. The tuna sushi is some of the best! The portions aren't huge, like most restaurants, but certainly enough to fill most (it is a meal and a snack for me). I've only tried the bowl option, but will have to sample the rice balls.

The environment is peaceful and relaxing with soft music that doesn't intrude on your conversation, but still stops it from being heard by the whole restaurant. The decor and design are very modern and professional - so much so that I had assumed it was a chain, which it is not - it is one-of-a-kind.

My only critique is that you can only order bottled beverages. There is no soda fountain (which goes with the health-food theme well), but there is also no free water choice. And for those who need a lot to drink while eating, that can be off-putting.
