While picking up an order recently, I had the most amazing conversation with one of the associates. You know how sometimes a quick interaction can completely shift your day? This was one of those moments. She was wearing a shirt with an open heart design that revealed the most beautifully spirited tattoo -- and as someone who loves hearts, it immediately made me smile. It felt like such a small but meaningful connection. As we finalized the order exchange, she generously handed me one of their healthy juices! Completely unexpected and absolutely what I needed in that moment. It brought genuine joy to my day. Their food is always beautifully prepared and thoughtfully packaged, but what truly sets The Garden Table apart is the authentic kindness of their team. The associates don't just serve food .... they serve warmth, presence, and heart. Highly recommend -- whether you're dining in or just picking up.

Never again will I eat at Garden Table. I used to love this restaurant. The food was once flavorful…read moreand fresh. However the last three visits I have had three different dishes (including ones I had order previously) and all three have tasted like cooking oil. Today I had the caprese toast. I decided to add salmon for added protein. Ya'll, when you see the word 'caprese', you think fresh mozzarella, tomatoes and basil, right? Not cooked, right? Well every item except some mint was cooked. Mushy apples, mushy tomatoes.... coated in a fowl smelling oil. The mushy-ness of it all got to the bread underneath. Then the salmon on top.... it was salmon but it was very, very smoky and it was shredded to appear like.... hate to say it.... cat food. Cat food instantly popped in my mind when I saw my plate. The item I used to love the sweet potato hash but it now has the same problem as the caprese toast. No flavor except that of cooking oil. I also ordered a kids plate with scrambled eggs. Eggs arrived with obvious signs of being over cooked with brown burn marks. Fine for a fried rice at a Chinese restaurant, maybe. But really? This is a brunch place that is supposedly 'health minded'. Eggs shouldn't be dry. I'm sure they also tasted like cooking oil but I didn't try them. I agree with another reviewer that the descriptions of dishes could be better. A cooked caprese??? I wouldn't have ordered it. Two stars are only beause the service here is decent.

Hannah's Bahn Mi is local with a coffee house vibe. They are popular for made-to-order Vietnamese…read moresandwiches, bowls and French breakfast pastries. They offer such an eclectic blend of flavors. They also have a menu for coffee, teas, and smoothies. The staff is friendly and polite. I ordered a Banh Mi at the counter and the clerk was patient as I pondered the menu. I paid at the counter then was given a number and found a seat. Soft music plays overhead. There is some comfy seating, but I chose a table. There is interesting decor to admire while I wait. My Meatball Bahn Mi (sandwich) came out quickly and smelled super fresh. I love the blend of cilantro, carrots and jalapeños with the meatballs. The sauce is spicy sweet and the bread fresh and chewy. The sandwich is perfect. I wanted to try one of their mochi donuts or a smoothie, but I'm watching calories. I will be back a different day for an ubi mochi donut. Restrooms are clean and modern. Parking is easy in the large lot.

Rize is the place to visit for breakfast if you're like me, a person who doesn't do a lot for…read morebreakfast. Maybe a little yogurt and granola with fruit (they have that). Or maybe a slice of toast with avocado and smoked salmon on it (they have that, too). You can get breakfast foods here that are nutritious and delicious. But I was here for lunch. And I felt like I needed to replenish my vitamin K reserves, so I got the sesame kale salad, which is kale, thinly sliced radish, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño slices, a sunflower and sesame seed crumble, and a sesame-ginger vinaigrette. It was delicious! You can add an egg or chicken or salmon, but I don't think it needs any of those. If I had to do it all again, I'd ask for light dressing, because they were a little heavy-handed with the dressing on this salad. Isn't that always the way?! Restaurants need to cool it with the dressing, in my opinion. To be honest, the booze situation at Rize is a little anemic, but I don't think Rize is really the place to order anything alcoholic beyond a mimosa or bloody Mary. I got a screwdriver: freshly squeezed orange juice and vodka, and I'm still wondering where the vodka went. It did not visit my screwdriver, I tell you what. The seating inside Rize feels like it's at a premium, because depending on when you visit, there is very little of it. When I visited, almost every table was occupied, and the place was echoing with conversation. I chose to sit outside, which I'd recommend, if you can! It's so nice to sit and eat a good meal outdoors. How many times do we get to eat outdoors in Indiana? Just go outside, if you can.

It's one of the best breakfasts I've had in the last few years. Just spot on! A touch of tobasco perfectly accentuated the sausage gravy over homemade biscuits. A perfectly cooked sunny side up egg topped it off. My wife had Eggs Benedict with heirloom tomato slices swapped for the English muffin. It looked amazing. One tip... coffee is $5, but so is cold brew or a cappuccino. They may not be bottomless, but we both upgraded from the drip coffee for the same price.

I got the chicken flautas with side of beans and the person I came with got enchilada (chicken, pork, steak) with side of rice. The food was perfect! Hot and fresh and didn't leave us feeling gross afterwards. The salsas brought (red and green) were also really good. I liked mixing the red (spicy) with the green. It feels like a family owned place that takes pride in providing people with quality meals and ice cream. I didn't get a picture of the ice cream, but that also was delicious. If you get the small you can mix flavors. First time I got chocolate and strawberry and this time got a junior size Oreo. It also looks like they rotate flavors which is fun! This place will become a regular spot for sure!

I created my own bowl and it was just what I was looking for.....quality fish, spice and all the add ins (they don't charge extra for avocado either, hooray!) As always with these places, love that you can opt for the poke over greens vs. rice so this is easily a healthy meal if you want it and a great place for beginners wanting to try poke.

Not sure if he was the owner but he was very nice and made great suggestions since it was my first time. I didn't care for the seaweed salad so I'll opt out of that next time. It was like sushi in a bowl. Next time I'd like to try their shaved ice.

The young lady that took the order was super friendly. I ordered Birria tacos. They were excellent!!! You get three tacos in an order with a side of sauce. Fresh cucumbers, and a roasted jalapeño. Let me tell you these things were stuffed full and tasted delicious! I also liked the fact that you can go sit back in your car and wait for them to call out your number over the loudspeaker. Will definitely be going back to try their Birria egg rolls!

The prices Amy seem like they are high but when you see the amount of food you get for what you pay, you will understand that it is a great price. This is as authentic Mexican food as you can get and I haven't had one bad thing from here. They could be banging out product at a restaurant if they wanted and be very successful. Their location is always on raceway and 10th and they post to facebook when they are going to be there. You can't miss the bright neon lights and the orange food truck. Birria is one of my favorites and the Birria balls are amazing and stuffed with cheese and meat then deep fried inside of a batter that is delicious. The consume they provide to dip your Birria in, is also wonderful. The quesadillas are HUGE! And the tacos are like two in one. The elote on a stick was out of this world and a must for each trip. Their churros with your choice of sauce finish off the meal just right . I always get chocolate and Carmel sauce on the side to dip them in. Give them a try and you will be hooked!

I decided to opt for the mole poblano with chicken and it was absolutely amazing! It was my first time having mole and it definitely did not disappoint. The mole was the perfect blend of sweet/savory. Not to mention the portion was generous :). I also tried their cucumber/pineapple agua fresca which was super refreshing and not overly sweet.
