Delicious food. Produce, fish, pork, beef, chicken and eggs are all sourced from farms practicing sustainable agriculture and raising their animals humanely. They pay One Fair Wage to all their employees and include a 20% pre-tax gratuity that is distributed to all staff. A little pricey but well worth it. Great for celebrating a special occasion.
