"I used to love this place and would come here several times a month. However, after my last visit shortly before Thanksgiving, in which I got severe food poisoning, I will never risk eating here again. I noticed the salad I usually get had some older ingredients (some of the lettuce in the salad and avocado both looked rough, very brown), but I figured I was being fussy so I just ate around the really wilted brown lettuce. A few hours after eating I got the worst food poisoning of my life, which has evolved into long term gastritis with an active ulcer which has had me go to the hospital twice. Doctor suspects E. Coli food poisoning from here. I am having to see a specialist for this and still struggle eating solid food, I've lost 20lbs in about six weeks. I wish I could fully explain how sick and miserable I've been. I'm not sure if it was bad ingredients or shortcuts or poor food safety, but something here needs to be reviewed to ensure no one else has to suffer as I have."

"This is a great spot for healthy meal with awesome service! We absolutely enjoyed our meal."

"A very pleasant spot to stop for lunch. Tasty food made with fresh ingredients made for a great meal. Outdoor seating looked appealing but it started raining when we arrived. I would eat here again."

"Great little healthy kitchen eatery. The food is delicious and the service is great. If you are lucky, you will have the pleasure of being served and helped by Jennifer, Greenleaf's true gem! It's the people just as much as the food that keep bringing you back."

"Greenleaf Kitchen & Cocktails is a great lunch choice. It was a working lunch and it worked out perfectly. Easy waiting area, and easy counter ordering with menus to look at in line, even tho our line had exactly one person in it. We chose to sit outside in partially shaded tables. The food came quickly and exactly as ordered. Between us we ordered ZORRA THE GREEK, LEMONGRASS CHICKEN, and CABO KALE salads. I had the Lemongrass Chicken and I loved it. I'll be recommending this to my wife as an option on date night. Overall, it was a chill environment and great food."
