Food: Meal's a mixed bag
The ahi burger wins hearts with its delicious wasabi aioli and a super soft bun. Cheeseburgers, too, are flavorful and juicy. The amazing sweet potato fries could be the star of the table; their popularity is well-earned. The menu exhibits creativity and variety, but falls slightly when it comes to taste and freshness. Basic food value is also up for debate.
