Well the good news is the turkey entree was delicious like a fresh carved turkey serving. But the sides, coleslaw was chopped in larger pieces than i’m used to having and the mashed potatoes were cold. I got a little container of cranberry sauce and same size of gravy. The outside area is nice and comfortable. With a drink an tip it was over $28 for one. That seems pricey.

This was once our “go-to” place for lunch or quick bites, but after a recent visit, we may not go back.

I have come here several times and everything we have had is delicious. If its a nice day, have your lunch or dinner on the patio. The last time we came, we saw someone walking their pet pig.

Tin Leaf was a favorite for Elizabeth and I to have lunch after working on a project. Great selection, delicious food and wonderful service providers. My favorite was the Ahi salad. With a cup of tea. I highly recommend checking Tin Leaf out. You will make it a favorite regular stop.

I have not been to Tinleaf since the pandemic and was pleasantly surprised to find my favorite menu items still there as well as new ones to explore! The new outdoor dining patio is fabulous and provides plenty of shade for a comfortable dining experience.

Worked here for a year, food is good, but my god the labor rights violations are astronomical. If you want to tip your server, personally hand them cash so they can keep it. Half of our tips ended up going to the kitchen staff instead of giving them well-deserved raises. It does not make sense why the waitstaff has to pay for them. This applies to their other restaurants Black Rail, Beach Plum, and La Covina Mesa. If any waitstaff is reading this unionize or go on strike, you have rights too! Good food though.

Tinleaf has continually produced good quality food year after year. They have a great 10 vegetable soup that’s delicious. A twisted BLT – it’s inspired – and the turkey dinner player with mashed potatoes and stuffing give you a little thanksgiving feast any day of the year! There are many healthy options on the menu and they use quality ingredients that maximize flavor. I keep going back – at least once a week when I’m close. **the coconut cake is a real treat!!

Knew about this place because of a freebie on Yelp for some fries! Obviously I couldn’t just go in for fries so I ordered the seared ahi tuna salad with some extra salmon .

Came here for delicious lunch. Omg the coconut cake is a must. Patio is a great spot to eat. And there was live music to enjoy.

Very good option for healthy and fresh food. A little pricey but reasonable for the quality of the ingredients they use. In my opinion the entree plates are better option than the sandwiches but it’s just personal preference.
