Tiny Boxwoods, a Gardener's Paradise




Steak & Avocado Salad
(mixed greens, grilled skirt steak, tomatoes, cheddar cheese, tortilla chips, avocado, lemon-lime vinaigrette)


Turkey & Avocado Club
(sliced turkey, tomato, avocado, bacon and pesto aioli on sourdough bread and fries)


Salmon Over Bed of Pesto Rice
(w/ haricot verts and tomatoes)






I'm not really sure why it took me this long to get my taste buds over to this hidden gem, since I work less than a mile away. Tiny Boxwoods is everything I ever wanted and more- simplistic, refreshing, and really, really, tasty. Bryan and I met up with a friend for lunch one cloudy Saturday. The line was out the door, so I knew it had clearly become a popular place to dine and relax. Good thing the restaurant had you covered with a mini outdoor bar serving sangria, mojitos, and fresh lemonade. The gardening supply store and nursery right next door are owned by the same people and make the perfect backdrop and visual feast for your eyes after you've filled your belly.
