Remember that Seinfeld episode when Elaine wants the "big salad"? Many people eating here are too young to know what I'm talking about (especially the Marina loctions). This is that place, where the salad is the main course. Maybe back in 1997 that was $9, here it's $20 something for that you want. But the salad is main-course-sized and excellent. Don't get the dressing on the side. Let the professionals mix it in, they're better than us. Post covid, I can't help but feel like the portions are smaller or stingier with the protein (this location was opened after covid but the experience seems the same for other locations). The sandwiches are very tasty but too small. Long story short, this place has really tasty food. But it's priced for SF yups that are wearing yoga pants and high heels at the same time. Great food, but almost too trendy. Clearly their marketing works. I'll keep eating here until salad starting price eclipses $20. Edit 2025: my normal salad is now around $28 but I'm still going to keep eating it because it's that good. Still only 3 of 5 stars for atmosphere because it is still so trendy now that I think I might be the oldest, least wealthy person to eat there. I am not wearing yoga pants and high heels, but some do. That's the vibe.
