The waitress apologized after I reminded her and she changed it graciously. We both ordered the Grass Fed Burger with gluten free buns. The buns were burnt. The waitress came later and asked if all was fine. My husband mentioned the buns were burnt. She concurred with us. But we didn't pursue it. He ate the whole thing. I was hungry but left the most burnt piece of bun out. We ordered desert and a cappuccino. The service was rather slow. The restaurant wasn't full. We tipped the waitress 20%. Next time we will just go to our usual True Food Kitchen.

I visit Havana Grill whenever I want some tasty oxtail.  I noticed oxtail was one of the specials.  Last time I visited the oxtail was on the regular menu and you could order it anytime. Oxtail was extremely tender and juicy.  The mix of beef flavor and the spices in the sauce were delicious.  This is my favorite oxtail dish in town. French fries were crisp and had a delicious fried flavor.  The oil was fresh and there was no aftertaste.  Excellent fries. Pineapple upside down cake was dense and did not have a fresh baked aura.  The outside part was starting to harden like it was getting stale so I guess it was baked at least a day ago.  Cake had a mostly mild flavor.  I didn't taste the pineapple though the top was lined with it.  I did taste a ton of ginger flavor.  It appears pieces of ginger were mixed in with the pineapple.  I love ginger as part of soy/ginger seasoning for fish but not in a cake.  This is one of the worst pineapple upside down cakes I have had.  My favorite is at Roy's where you have to give them 30 minute notice and they bake it to order.  Roy's version was piping hot out of the oven, was moist and fluffy, with amazing pineapple flavor. Staff provided fast and friendly service.

The service was good, though I hated watching our server balance our meals on one hand while answering the phone. Luckily, she didn't linger too long. We probably won't come back- just because we were just trying something new, we have other breakfast places we love for the future. The omelet was wonderful. The well- done filet mignon was more like medium well with a bit too much red for my taste. And, I'm always sorry when a cook thinks laying cheese on top of the scrambled eggs is the same thing as scrambled eggs with cheese. What was most memorable was the way at least two different staff members checked to make sure we had what needed in terms of coffee refills, etc

First visit, craving an omelette after most breakfast places had closed, found Nature Forward on…read moreYelp and decided to give it a try. Reviews here assert they have been open for a while, banner out front said "grand opening" so I'm unsure if there was a management/ownership change or that has been up for a while. Place was incredibly clean and staff were very friendly, I would definitely come back again. Some observations and constructive feedback: the menu (both physical on table and QR code for digital) has a lot of ambiguity that staff couldn't easily answer. For instance: "daily mimosa specials" (you had me at mimosa) but I asked my waitress who asked someone else what kind of mimosas (a lot of back-and-forth to see if we had regular OJ for that). I can't tell you how much I paid but it was delicious. I asked what fruit came in the "fruit bowl", the answer I got was helpful (banana, blueberry, strawberry, there was surprise melon) but here on yelp it claims to be a parfait, after I ordered the waitress told me it had yogurt and granola (sure why not), what arrived was fruit with granola on top (I would have skipped the granola). A fruit cup or a side of fruit would be a welcome addition to whatever is supposed to be in that, but it was tasty and I ate it. The grilled banana bread (sigh): something I've baked a million times and enjoy many different ways, had a lot of streusel mixed-in and on top - it was good but the streusel diminished it, too much of of a good think maybe. The honey butter on side was a little thick to spread but good, the strawberry jam was great but never something I'd spread on banana bread. I would have put it on my sourdough toast that came with the omelette, but that came without the toast. Let's discuss the omelette which tasted great, back to my menu confusion, it says "BYO omelette with 3 fillings" and lists no fillings, so I had to ask, and was told "just about anything you could imagine". A list would have been helpful. I went with cheedar, bacon, and peppers - my go-to is a greek (spinach, tomato, feta) I don't know if they had spinach or tomato but no feta so I didn't ask. The omelette comes with potatoes or slaw, I didn't want potatoes so I chose slaw, after ordering they were out of that so I chose spring mix, then was told that was not an option. A side of fruit (for less than the $12 I think I paid for that) would have hit the spot but I told them I had already ordered plenty and the omelette was fine solo, expecting it to come with the sourdough toast. Again: the food and service were good, I will definitely be back, but I think the menu could be clearer or the kitchen could either limit people's choices (eg we have these 4 kinds of omelets) or post ingredients/options on the wall (chalkboard like the one out front?) if they change frequently.

We came here only because of the reviews, which in hindsight, I should have read more carefully. The front has a large Grand Opening sign, which I thought was odd with all the reviews. We were seated inside which was surprisingly hotter than outside. She said she would be back with water. The water took 10 mins, and when she dropped it we asked if we could order with her. She said, "Sure, I'll be right back" before disappearing for another 10 minutes. I had planned to order the chicken & waffles that were on the website, but the menu when we arrived was completely different. Since I don't eat eggs, I went with a side of potatoes, the sourdough bread plate with strawberry jam and bacon. My girl got a breakfast burrito no meat. 30 minutes later, they brought out my bacon and then 5 minutes after her burrito with my potatoes. No biggie, the waitress realized the misunderstanding and asked if I wanted my side of potatoes and I am so glad I said no just based on time. We both agreed those were the saddest potatoes we have ever had, just oily, stale, and unseasoned. Then she took a bite of the burrito; the tortilla was undercooked, and there was tons of bacon. Next, my "sourdough" was delivered, which was just two pieces of white bread. My girl laughed and said, "You are paying $12 for bread." We asked for the bill because we were late for volunteering, and it wasn't edible. The server could tell we were frustrated, and I explained I ordered sourdough and the burrito was supposed to be no bacon. The waitress repeated that's what she put in the computer and we could talk to the owner who was also the chef's wife. The lady comes out, I explain the situation, she looks at the menu, and it's clear she doesn't know what sourdough is and English is not her first language. It then becomes clear that they don't know what's listed on the menu. The most shocking was that she then took the fork and began picking the burrito to find the bacon, like we were not being honest. They took both items off the bill. We still paid for the coffee, bacon, and the bread that was on the menu for $12 only rang up as $5, and the jam was "on the house" since apparently it's extra. I have never spent +$20 and still been hungry like that; what a disappointment. Our water was never refilled. The entire hour we were at the restaurant, despite me asking multiple times. Do yourself a favor and don't go.
