"Love your concept and ambiance. Will come back again .
Hope service is little more efficient but this time we didn't have to wait for our table. That was a big plus."

"I came here on a Saturday evening. GustoOrganics has more of a Latin feel to their restaurant, playing Latin dance music throughout the evening which complements the Latin dishes on the menu. My order of Lomo Soltado was very prompt, since there weren't too many customers that evening. Very friendly hostess & great waitstaff. Definitely well worth the price you pay. Though I do hope they plan to expand the dining & dessert menu a bit more in the future, so there is more variety to choose from."

"Service slacked a lot. Took forever to put in dessert order and get dessert. Our server was not at all helpful in our ordering and slow overall. Food was inconsistent and mostly under seasoned. The cucumber lemonade juice was good as was the parmesan crusted rice and garlic broccoli. Everything else was disappointing. I had been looking forward to coming here for a while."

"Delicious food! Had the squash soup to start - so creamy and flavorful. The taco salad was quite tasty also. The chocolate mousse was reccommended over the warm appley dessert and I was happy I got the fabulous chocolate one. I could have eaten a dozen more!
Waitstaff was attentive and speedy."

"It reminds you of how good REAL food can be. I had a burger, and it tasted like it should. . .. . like it did when the meat wasn't pumped with additives and hormones. It's a bit pricy - but after tasting everything you know why."

"Having never been before I really enjoyed this place. The Lentil stew was amazing, and the organic bar is well stocked. The food was a bit salty for my taste, and they didn't have a great selection of desserts for those with Dairy/Gluten Free restrictions, But I will definitely be returning."

"GustOrganics is one of out go-to date night spots due to my extensive list of food allergies and sensitivities. The food is always amazing. The service isn't always consistent though. We sometimes are treated as VIPs and other times are treated as nobodys. Our last visit was one of those times. Service was very poor. Our waiter was not very attentative or helpful, especially when it came to food substitutions for my allergies. But as long as the food is to die for, I will always take my chance with the inconsistent service!"
