"Tried Restore 242 for lunch with our kids today, everything was AMAZING. I loved that they could get delicious and fresh options from the kids menu and it's still affordable. Brussel sprouts and crab cakes were a hit for the whole table for appetizers. Everyone loved their food, we will absolutely be back soon."
