Garden House

Nice hole-in-the-wall lunch spot. Service could be faster. Ingredients are fresh.

They have wonderful salad varieties. You tell them they build it and mix it in the bowl in front of you. They chicken is grilled and is tastes. You can add grilled chicken and pasta to any salad.

I'm not sure why this restaurant doesn't have a higher profile but it should. Then again it's probably fine that others overlook this neighborhood spot because it means more meat for me. Sure, it doesn't have the culinary panache of Brett Cooper's Aster across the street, but bite for bite, I would say Hoffmann's offers a more satisfying dining experience overall simply because chef/owner Karen Hoffmann keeps it simple and hearty with little flourish. Jamie W. and I were the first diners of the evening seated next to the window as we watched life on Guerrero go by. We were immediately drawn to the $11 Confit Chicken Wings.

Great prices, good quality food, medium slow service. Overall love this place. Go a couple times a week.

One of my regular lunch spots. Great salads and rice bowls - all chicken-centric, but with vegan and vegetarian options. Super fast and friendly service. Faves are Sesame Chicken Salad and Spicy Chicken Bowl.
