Tender greens used to prepare your meal as you walked by the counter and then deliver it to you at the cash register. That was nice. Now they leave you sitting in the restaurant for 15 minutes without food while they fill web orders as a priority over seated customers.Very lame service, when all you have to offer is service.It took 38 mins to get our food after the order was placed.
Delicious fresh and tender greens. Really loved the vegan salad and falafel. Soo good I ate here 2 days in a row on a beach getaway weekend to Santa monica. Googled and Found one close to my home...more tendergreens please!! The service was awesome! A new employee was in need of help on the register while taking my order and their coworker stepped in to help both days each tim . The company's commitment to "making the world a better place " by employing foster youth is very commendable. If they can do that surely I can commit to eating that delicious vegan salad - no Farro, double green hummus- at lead once a week..!!
Outdoors and safer. Love the avocado toast is the best! And the green tea blend is awesome.
I go there everyday for lunch takeout. I always get the cobb salad. Which is tasty. Their service though, has gone down the toilet. Missed silverware, missing bread, ridiculous time to make a 5 min. salad. I've spent 2,341 dollars there since I work down the street and would eat it everyday. Today's salad was a fraction of the size it usually is. What a rip off. The customer service has declined pretty bad. When they get really busy forget ordering from here. I ordered 1 min after they opened at 11 am and at 11:55 am my salad still wasn't ready. Understaffed, not organized. Save your hard earned money and get something else.
The food here is usally pretty good. I usually fet the steak salad or the soup and salad.
Tasty, fresh, healthy food for a really reasonable price.In downtown Santa Monica it's tough to find this combo. If you just want a good meal and not have a few thousand calories shoved down your throat in fried pork and sugary sauces and dressings, this is a great choice. If you want a good vegetarian or vegan option, get the happy vegan salad. If you want meat, you have tasty and non-fatty choices. If you order online they give you lots of options so for example you can avoid things like onions. Great place. Nice outdoor eating area too.
Expensive & lousy salad!Ordered a grilled chicken cob salad today, brought it back to my office to realize they forgot to include the dressing! Called back and received a “uh…sorry…”The store was not even busy, so…the manager/workers were too busy chatting with each other instead of making sure a simple order was made right?
I love that I can get a healthy, quality meal at a fast food joint price! The plates offer you a complete meal with a protein and 2 sides--a starch and vegetables. I follow Traditional Chinese Medicine, so outside of the summer season I try to eat cooked vegetables to make digestion easier on my body (digestion is the hardest thing that your body has to do everyday). Tender Greens' seasonal vegetables side is perfect. I was able to get roasted squash, peppers, string beans, and mushrooms. Mashed potatoes, seared Albacore tuna, and garlic bread completed the meal. The only improvement I can think of is to add another starchy side that has more fiber than mashed potatoes, like a vegetable fried brown rice or vegetable fried quinoa (sort of like Peruvian chaufa).
Special thanks to Jesse for helping us straighten out our dinner order tonight. She was patient, kind and through. She saved the evening for us! Many thanks, Cynthia and Jack Epps
They should close this location. Tired salads, with wiltered or old greens. Extra small portions of meat and lack luster customer service from the cashier today, with a dingy surfaced cleaned atmosphere. Same experience I had when I came here a few years ago.
