Tender Greens began its takeover of California with a small casual restaurant in Culver City about ten years ago, with the idea of bringing a farm-to-table eating concept that wouldn't break the bank. Nowadays there are locations all over Northern and Southern California, proving that the idea of serving fresh, healthy, chef-inspired, farmer's market sourced dishes at an affordable price in a relaxed environment is truly what people want. For around $12, guests can get plenty to eat, starting with those "tender greens" and personalizing every other element, from grilled chicken, steak or fish to fresh vegetables, vegan items, nuts and many other choices. There's also hearty soups on the menu, as well as side dishes ranging from mashed potatoes, quinoa and green hummus. Eat in or take out, the fine foods that Tender Greens serves up cater exactly to creating the meal that coincides just for your tastes.
