You get what you pay for: Eggs were out of a carton & oats are artificially sweetened Great Turkey Sandwich Whole wheat bun tomato lettuce cheese turkey Avocado "Order with a side of fruit - great selection of fruits in mixture. Sometimes they don't have avocado. They usually serve this with chips & often forget to give you the fruit (I eat here often & have had this happen to me 5x already and a friend once)! Take the order back and demand fruit when this happens! One of my favorite quick stops downtown - and can`t beat the free internet." ElementsOpen Face Flat Iron Grilled SteakPanini Bread Baby Spinach Tomatoes Approx. 5oz of Steak Meat Cup fruit (only if already at desired weight) otherwise skip Brown PelicanSmoked Salmon ScrambleSmoked salmon chives scrambled eggs "Order without crème fraiche exchange breakfast potatoes for fruit and whole wheat toast" Avocado, Tomato, and Jack Cheese Omelette Whole wheat toast Tomato Jack Cheese Egg Avocado Triple Berry French Toast French Toast Syrup Add scrambled eggs & sliced avocado "Great meal for 2 people to split & share" Pelican Machaca Tri Tip Steak scrambled eggs RoysAll entreès are served with fresh house baked wheat bread - made with orfanic flour - my favorite in town!, a salad of mixed organic Santa Barbara Farmers market greens.Fresh Whole Wheat Bread - the best I've had in Santa Barbara Salad Romaine & iceberg lettuce Carrot slices Onions 1 lil tomato vinaigrette - has sodium Soup Carrot soup garnished with cinnamon & mixed with a cream... Not sure what kind though. Rack of Lamb Trio 3 Lamb shanks caramel glaze veggies Conclusion: If trying to cut weight, eat 1/2 piece of bread, skip soup & then have lamb & veggies. If you have everything offered, you're getting an Exchange of approximately 7,4,2 of Carb, Protein, Fat. Overall great quality, though - I was impressed with everything but the preserved veggies.

Chicken & Broccoli Fettucine noodles broccoli creamy alfredo sauce fresh basil - has sodium chicken "Restaurant has an outdoor area that is great for people watching right on state street with nice heating, but bland architecture & greenery. Also, there are always smokers out there when I dine. Ew! I thought we had laws about this?" Kahuna GrillTeriyaki Chicken SandwichExclude Teriyaki - very high sodium Pineapple Whole wheat bun lettuce onions tomato Chicken "Kahuna Grill is a fast food joint. Their food is highly preserved. This means a ton of sodium. I don't have exact numbers, but I wouldn't be surprised if this sandwich has 1000mg of sodium! It normally comes with mayonaisse and a sauce. I always recommend getting sandwiches dry. The pineapple adds a nice zest if you do get it dry. It would also be preferred they have avocado." Small Garden Salad Italian Dressing Carrots lettuce onions tomatoes grilled chicken Tuttini`sSide Items "Matt's Meal"4 eggs whole wheat Toast - no jam! toasted walnuts glass orange juice "A great post-workout meal.

Very tastey & extremely healthy! Salmon w/ almonds sauffoy sauce Veggies - onions, squash, peppers, zucchini Sojourner CafèPlato Barrato Penne Pasta with Olive Dill Butter Penne PastaOlive Dill Butter Add chicken "This restaurant is great for Vegans. Unlike the Natural Cafe, these meals actually are natural. The Natural Cafe is highly preserved and is a fast food restaurant. While Sojourner isn't gourmet, it is one of the best choices for vegans in town. Being a carnivore, I just add chicken or turkey to any of their excellent meals and turn it into a great choice." OpalWild Mushroom Stuffed Chicken Breast on Fresh Herb RisottoChicken Mushroom Roasted Tomato Marsala Sauce - has sodium Parmiginao Reggiano Cheese "Many restaurants attempt gourmet meals and drastically reduce the health quality of the foods. Opal has a decent blend of health & a gourmet appeal. I applaud their effort at doing so & recommend them for a nice night out on the town while keeping the tummy fit." Bistro in Mirmont Raddison HotelBreakfast Buffet French ToastPineapple strawberries maple syrup granola Tomatoes Scrambled Eggs - high in sodium and butter "Not a bad preworkout meal, though as an everyday meal this isn't the best. It is high in simple carbs. I don't expect much more from a continental breakfast, though. Also not surprised that it was high priced for the poor quality given." No. 9 Fisherman`s Grotto - San FranciscoSanddabsSteamed veggies - preserved a lot Penne pasta alfredo sauce Nice well-rounded meal & I ate it just as they served it. 99% of the time I have to rearrange meals to meet my qualifications.

So many fresh foods from the local farmers. While it was hard for me to find healthy meals since they are so flamboyant with flavor, I really hope this restaurant prospers. They need to have a nutritionist go over their menu, though."
