    Not a clean table to be found. The busses saw us waiting and decided to take the tub of dirty dishes to the back instead of wiping a table for us. It wasn't busy. The food for three of us came out very slowly, with long waits between orders. Hard to have lunch together when one is almost finished before the other gets their food. The food was quite good, but I won't be back if the service doesn't improve. $26.00 for lunch that doesn't include table service is a lot. It should be prompt and have a clean dining area.

    *Normally* pretty good, which is why this is frustrating. I ordered a green goddess avocado salad and asked to make sure there was no meat. First time I got it (after waiting ~15 minutes in the drive thru) there was chicken and bacon. Went in and asked for no meat, and they got me a new salad, got home and there was a ton of tiny bits of minced bacon all over the bottom side of my container and impossible to get out without washing the whole salad. I can't eat meat as it makes me very sick. By the time I found this, they were closed. Quite frustrating to wait so long for food I can't eat, and then to receive a remake that I also can't eat for the same reason it was remade in the first place. Probably will still end up coming back eventually, but I'll just make sure not to order anything that has items that need to be substituted or removed so I can eat it without pain.
