8 of us went for a work gathering and I can't even begin to caution against here enough! From being sat at the incorrect table and moved, to tables thag wobble and having to finally swap thw table ourselves (after mentioning this to our server) To only.part.of our ppl getting a drink and others flagging one down, apparently the breaded cauliflower os now needed broccoli without even so much as a heads up. Orders were screwy. Salads with wrong dressing x2, I'm gluten free and ordered no bun but.got.the bun and when this was pointed out I got.a dry overcooked -borderline burnt burger without and condiments. Another of us ordered a salad.with grilled chicken only to be asked a whole.later again what protein she wanted. We were asked 2 mins after getting our apps how we were doing but not again. The restaurant was awful, service & food. As we.are management from a local store celebrating this was very disappointing. We try and support local businesses but we definitely will not be back.

The staff was amazing, super friendly, super helpful. The food is very good. I like that they had gluten-free pasta. The Burrata was lovely My only complaint is I ordered the lobster spaghettini gluten-free most expensive item on the menu, but it was a treat out so I thought I love lobster. Why not….. very disappointed in the fact that there was only three extremely tiny pieces of lobster, that does not constitute $36 there was seven times more chicken in the other pasta that we also got I mentioned it to our waiter and I would think that the cook could’ve provided us with a bit more lobster at the time considering the cost of that plate but they did nothing

Very nice restaurant. The food was fresh and delicious! The portion sizes were perfect. Not too much and not too little. The iPad was nice and easy to use but it was a bit of a negative waiting for the server to confirm the order every time to have the order go to the kitchen. There was a nice gluten free section too! The service was quick and efficient. The burners worked well and we had ours changed once as there was alot of residue food after cooking and that made it hard to cook more. It was changed quickly once we asked. The temperature was great for cooking. The price of $38.99 is all day, for lunch and supper. There is no lesser price for lunch, unlike most other buffets. A bonus is this does include a bottomless soft drink or ice tea and the server is frequently asking if you want a refill but you basically pay for the drink with the $38.99 per person. The parking is free and the location is good. This is a nice place to try out, I recommend!

Expect a mixed vibe with some standout dishes, but the pasta might not hit the mark like you’d hope.

Gluten free pizza is really good, and sized correctly. Other places have very small GF pizzas, but these ones are medium sized and reasonably priced. I also like that they now have a few grocery items that you can buy with your order. I got a couple heads of lettuce to make my own salad and some really good marinated olives.

Two times in a row I got the same server, both times a small table (2-3), and I had terrible service. She left our table unattended and we kept having to ask other waiters to get her from the back. When she returned to our table she seemed angry and standoffish. We never got our drinks refilled through the entire meal, and we were waiting around for so long to get our bill. The food was really good, even the gluten sensitive items, which was really the only thing that saved this review. Despite this, the whole atmosphere was wrecked by the service. Very disappointed.

I wanted to leave a quick note-- my son, 7, has a gluten allergy and it is always hard to find a "take out" type restaurant that he can have a choice at. I called Freshii before coming to ask some questions and the lady I was speaking with took her time and answered them all.... when arriving, we were warmly greeted and while ordering they were all so friendly, accommodating and SO educated about the ingredients they serve. My son was able to try some safe sauces before choosing which one he would like. After finishing his green curry rice noodle bowl- he told me, "That was the best take out lunch, ever!" I highly recommend trying this location. From the bottom of my mama heart-- thank you for taking care of my son and I today :) We will certainly be back soon.
