By mistake, we got there 30 minutes early but were able to order a drink and walk the property along garden paths and discovered they had garden rooms that you could reserve for large parties. After we were sat with the other guests and the guest of honor, our awesome waiter explained how their food was sourced and a bit of history of the place for our friends that weren't familiar with the restaurant. There were vegetarians and a vegan diners amongst us so he explained all his favorite vegetarian dinners and also how they could alter the meal to make it vegan. EVERYONE was happy with their meals. My entree was their Mongolian Beef prepared and served in an extremely creative presentation which was absolutely delicious! Others had: mezze platters with and without the lamb, the Cavatelli pasta dish, shishito pepper appetizer, All quite delicious! Amongst the desserts ordered I had the basil, blackberry sorbet (if I recall correctly) which was refreshingly tasty! The whole evening was wonderful! The food! The company!

The weather permitted use to sit outside in the comforting blanket of mild sun shine. Service was slow and it took some time for someone to initially come to our table. I heard a few tables being offered to tour the area where some of the plants were being grown which was nice. That option was not extended to our table. The menu had a few vegetarian options that looked promising. I ordered barramundi and my wife ordered cavatelli which is a type of pasta. Complementary bread was brought out that tasted good but had too much salt on the crust. I didn't know but eventually found out that barramundi is a type of Asian sea bass. It was plated with a good amount of vegetables, but I found it to be bot a flavorful as I would have liked. I tasted the cavatelli and was not impressed either by the flavors. The drink section of the menu is a little confusing and we ended up with a grapefruit rosemary kombucha. The atmosphere was very nice and relaxing but I think the entrees were a bit over priced for what we received.

I asked for Christmas Mixed, received regular Christmas. It was not worth it today to ask for more Chile to make it mixed. The flavor was very nice. Tender & succulent Shredded beef. Dan ordered, Ultimate Skillet w tortilla and an onion rings app. The onion is rings were typical, get at any bar onion rings... not bad, just not real remarkable. The skillet was good, but with the rings, too much grease. The Homefries were good, just greasy. - and if you have read my posts before, we often pick our restaurants based on oil used, and how greasy it is... as Dan's tummy is touchy to it. The type of oil was fine, the quality was too much. I personally think had he not ordered the onion rings ... it would of been fine.. but not my choice ;). The tables are in a navigable way to get to tables. The walls have tons of signs & photos. It looked reasonably clean and well kept. Worth checking out if you need a new place to dine.

This is not your normal review; this is an internal review. I was working at this café, and my experience with the owner, John, was quite negative. He was often rude and sarcastic with his employees, which created a tense work environment. He would micromanage even the smallest tasks, making it difficult to feel comfortable doing my job. For instance, one time I was carefully putting chili on a burrito, holding the plate over the pan to avoid spills. John yelled at me from across the kitchen to stop and stomped over in a passive-aggressive rage, insisting that I do it his way. He wanted me to take the ladle of chili across other plates instead of holding the plate over the pan, which seemed counterproductive to me. After I followed his instructions, he still found a way to get upset, complaining that there was chili on the to-go box. Additionally, there was a serious health code violation I noticed. John was responsible for putting away the truck orders, and I saw ground beef stored directly above bread on the same shelf. The ground beef was positioned right above produce, and you could visibly see the cross-contamination from drops of blood dripping down onto the green chili. When I brought this to John's attention, he responded in a passive-aggressive manner, which was frustrating. Instead of addressing the issue, he seemed irritated that I pointed it out. (attached is a picture of blood drops on a case of green chili) Before I left, I spoke with his wife, who mentioned that he is under a lot of stress because one of his employees switched their schedule for school. While I can understand that running a business can be stressful, as a business owner, he should be able to adjust the workload to manage that stress without taking it out on hard-working employees. Overall, my experience working with John was very negative. His unprofessional behavior and lack of respect for health standards made it hard to work in a productive and safe environment. read more

The taco meat had been sitting on the back burner most of the day. I walked in at 1:10 pm and they close at 2 pm. Horrible dried up ground beef. Can't believe I am paying for dried up tacos, and the cook served me just that, instead of making me fresh ground beef. Next the Spanish Rice was also very dry and cold. The cook could not at least get it warmed up, no because it was so dried up rice, warming it up would not work. Very nasty plate I was served. The beans were good, yet they were luke warm. The only thing that was fresh on my plate was the sopaipilla and the guacamole. Otherwise, what a freaking mess I was serviced. I guess I am done with Kap's.

Even when you are missing something on plate it took another few minutes to get I ordered avocado on the side and they forgot twice to get me that side, and when did it was a small portion that I had paid for and my food got cold.
