"Housed on the bottom level of the mixed-use Vertis Green Hills at 3996 Hillsboro Pike, I noticed vibrant yellow umbrellas and large signage on a spacious patio that overlooks Hillsboro Road and Trader Joe’s, making it impossible to miss from the street. Inside, the bright, 7,700-square-foot dining room features neon green booths and playful Music City–inspired details like produce-shaped guitars and real guitars filled with planters along the walls. The Phoenix-based, health-conscious chain — making its Nashville debut tomorrow, September 26, and arriving as the neighborhood’s third opening in eight days — zeroes in on co-founder Dr. Andrew Weil’s “anti-inflammatory food pyramid,” offering an extensive, seasonal menu that ranges from an autumnal butternut squash pizza to avocado toast and a vegan dashi ramen bowl. There’s a chef-driven, scratch-bar approach to creative, crave-able dishes and handcrafted cocktails (including skinny margaritas and a forbidden root made with lemon-infused vodka and red beet), plus ample non-alcoholic refreshers and teas. I found the printed hours and service details clear: Monday–Friday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., Sunday 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., with brunch Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m." - Delia Jo Ramsey
