We left it up to our server to determine what/how much to feed a group of 6 with no dietary restrictions. Best decision we could have made! Every bite was excellent, and it was just the right amount of food.

The food never fails to exceed expectations. They offered a pumpkin cheese cake which was so light it didn’t seem like the typical too dense cheesecake (which I liked)…it was simply delicious

All Meal Prep was an excellent experience. Food was good and the service was exceptional. The staff was so hospitable and friendly and made our birthday celebration so memorable. They have parking in the back and easy accessibility from the parking lot into the restaurant. (This was hugely appreciated as one person in our group had easy accessibility to the restaurant with a walker.) Great ambiance and very personable staff!
