I work nearby and stop in at least twice a week. The Harvest Bowl hits every time. Service is quick, the space is clean, and they take dietary requests seriously which I appreciate. Easy five stars from me.
Mixed feelings. The Mediterranean Bowl was excellent and the cashier was friendly, but my side came out cold and they were out of two of the things I wanted to order. Probably worth another try, but not the experience I was hoping for.
Hidden gem. We were in the neighborhood for an appointment and stopped here based on a friend's recommendation. So glad we did. The Buffalo Chicken Salad was unreal — clearly made with care. We're already planning our next visit.
Harbor Parlor has become my regular weekday lunch. Consistent quality, generous portions, and the staff has started to recognize me. I usually grab the Cobb Salad but I've worked through most of the menu and haven't had a miss yet.
