We love movable feast! They serve good and healthy food that is nourishing and not heavy. Amazing drinks and ambiance and caring staff make it a family favorite place for us to go. We especially love the brunch menu with the BLT and grain bowl. Sue our waitress kept our drinks filled and came at just the right time to take our orders. The outdoor seating under the tent is very festive and comfortable. They are usually very busy so make a reservation or go to the take out area in the back of the restaurant. Fairy Tale sugar cookies are so yummy and they have a nice selection of gluten free treats too.
