Nature’s Table

I ordered a Turkey Pesto Panini and when I opened my sandwich there was no pesto in it and it had 3 over processed slices of turkey (probably that disgusting brand Butterball). I also ordered an Avocado and Cucumber sandwich that had what seemed like old or store bought GUACAMOLE. Point is the food was tasteless and not NATURAL at all. I don’t plan on eating here again. I should’ve listened to the 3 ½ star rating.

I really enjoy the breakfast here, and the smoothies are pretty good too. Speaking from the breakfast menu, it’s the best option to bagels. I like their breakfast burritos so much that I’m here many times in the week. I’m not sure exactly what to think of the service because it’s been very awkward at times, kinda spacey if you’d call it that. Just 2 days ago I reminded the gal I hadn’t paid yet on a phone order, karma comes back so I made sure I paid for it. The next phone order the gentleman collected payment and I had to ask for my burrito. Brought it back to the office and it was burnt. Not sure if I have an intimidating look, but the staff I see and order from 2−3x a week still acts weird like uneasy when I come in. Kinda strange, but I keep coming back.

Great service, great foods! It’s easy for those that are on the go or if you want a place go sit down too!

Service was good. I ordered a No Bull Burrito or something like that. It was supposed to have rice, jalapeño, cheese, vegetarian chili, and avocado. It comes with a nice fresh salad on the side. The lettuce and tomatoes were very fresh! No old lettuce at all, so that was nice… But I don’t go out to grab lunch and think «I’d just love some fresh romaine lettuce». The reason for 2 stars is because the burrito was simply a wheat tortilla filled with rice and not much more than that. There were about 10 kidney beans on top which I assumed was a garnish and not the vegetarian chili… No chili in the burrito, a sliver of avocado, and some jalapeños throughout. Maybe they forgot to add the chili? I don’t know… But I was very disappointed when I got home with my rice, wheat tortilla and lettuce:/ I haven’t had anything else on the menu so maybe this was just an off day for them.

This is a good place to have by your office! It is the kinda place you want to go for a quick lunch break and get something that wont clog your arteries (you know what i mean… no McD or KFC kinda junk here)
I would not say this is homemade or the chicken is fresh out of the oven. But I would say that this is a clean place with friendly people who will make your meal with a smile. I normally get the chipotle chicken rice or the fandangled salad. Both are very good and prepared in front of you! Iv ordered the wraps as well and none have disappointed me!

Located inside a Fairbanks business park (the closest entrance to this location is on Alton), this place is probably for people inside the business park. They sell very basic food such as salads and sandwiches (no special ingredients) but they also make smoothies. Due to the Irvine Company sometimes providing information on the specials around here, if there is ever a sale or discount, my boss sometimes orders me to buy some for everyone at the office and to use coupons. Since it’s close to the office, at least I don’t have to go to a further-​away McDonald’s that’s having a sale. They have been very nice about it whenever I buy a lot probably because I’m a big spender even with coupons.
Their smoothies are very similar to Jamba Juice (both in price and in quality), so I don’t need to drive to some far-​off location just to get one. But they have nothing unique. The establishment’s greatest strength is that it is close to the commercial zoning so one can drive (or walk) here without having to park in a busy parking lot in McDonald’s or anything like that.
There’s only one other place to eat at in this business park and it’s unlikely that people would specifically come here other than on a lunch break. Since they’re nice and they have all of these offers at times, I’ll uprate it. It’s not likely for one to bring an entire family here anyway, so I don’t see why I should use the same criteria for that type of rating.

The food is always good and decently priced. The owner/​chef is really nice and prepares everything with pride. Have never had a bad meal and I’ve tried most of the menu.

This place is great for lunch.
The Fandangled Salad is really good, has a wide variety of nutrients and flavor all in one sitting: walnuts, goat cheese, mixed berries… it’s soo good. Nature’s Table has an array of unconventional smoothies most notably their kale and spinach, which you can get with either yogurt or juice. The vegetarian chili is a great mixture and a great hot option.
All in all, I consider Nature’s Table a fancier type of Subway with way more options. Great hidden place in the Irvine area with many sauces as an option. Love the breakfast burritos, and the Southwest Taco Salad too!

My coworkers and I really enjoy this place. For $ 6-​$ 8 you can get a sandwich, wrap or salad. (I order a wrap or salad every time.) The food is prepared fresh, the service is great and the seating is comfortable. Some organic ingredients would definitely be a bonus if they could offer them.

I’ve eaten here twice. This place deserves more than a 3 star average. Their Thai chicken wrap is amazing. Great flavors all around. They had a smoothy special recently… Buy one get one free.

I’ve eaten here several times. My work is very close. Ive had their classic sausage breakfast burritos & they are very tasty & filling! Perfect for starting the day! Then I’ve had several of their items for lunch. I really like their vegetarian chili. Im not vegetarian but the chili is really tasty & so flavorful that you don’t even miss the meat. They have big salads & sandwiches. I usually get the mediterranean salad or Cobb salad. Both very good &, most of the time, fresh. Today i had the turkey pesto panini. It was delicious & packed w/​turkey, spinach & delicious pesto! It was bigger than i expected & plenty filling. They change up their side salads every week or so & today i had a small fruit salad for my side. Big kudos on the mango! Really tasty!!! The reason i didn’t give it 5 stars is its a little pricey for every day meals so i only come here once in awhile.

Chicken tasted like canned tuna. For the price, the lettuce should have been a spring mix. Dressing was bland.

I love the vegetarian chilli. The cookies are deilcious as well. I found the service to be fast and efficient. I think they have worked out their kinks as a new business.

Nature’s table is half a minute walk from where i work. Nature’s Table is now the closest but before i’ve been happy with Stuffer’s 101 Sandwichs, Phở next door and the mexican food on the otherside. i’d say 4 star restaurants. but they closed down last month except the mexican on the othersie. how come both of my what became favorite close down? a new small restaurant, Nature’s Table can’t replace what i am used to eat. Irvine Company must have raised rents (indirectly to say «Get the hell out!») otherwise why both of them close down? I am not sure if this is bad location but where Nature’s Table is now i’ve seen 4~5 business failed to close down during last 8 years and was empty for about a year i think…
Based on history of that location, I predict Nature’s Table will last about 1 year if they do well! But based on food, i am not sure if they will last a year or more. I wished they lower the price and make tastier food. I’ve tried Mediterranean Chicken Salads, Fandangled salad, chipotle chicken, tuna melt paninis, turkey pesto, and i also had breakfast burritos. Based on the food i ate so far, the food are not as tasty. I hope the owner reads my review. The vegetables seem fresh enough, but chicken and turkey taste like frozen food. Bread is tasteless. melts are too salty… there has to be some kind of change for this tiny lunch focused restaurant to be able to survive. If Panda Express like or Phở like restaurant was there, it’s be more popular. If no idea, copy what Stuffer’s 101 did. the Stuffer’s 101 was there for 5~6 years! It was not the best but it had 101 different kinds, and it was cheap.

Nature’s Table is across the street from my office, figured I’d try it out today. The place looked clean, nothing special. The guy at the front counter had a huge hickey on his neck, which was actually kind of comical, thanks for the laugh!
I ordered a turkey club sandwich on wheat. The bread was just normal grocery store bread. The turkey seemed nice and fresh. I almost broke my tooth on the super hard bacon, which was only on one side of the sandwich. You’d be better off making your sandwich at home. I would only eat here again if it was my only choice and I was starving.

I’ve been searching for a great chili, and I found an awesome vegetarian chili. It is piping hot and flavorful. This place has great sandwiches too. I had a cucumber/​avocado sandwich which was refreshing. I later had the tuna salad which was very fresh. I avoid mustard or mayonaisse (which they offer.) The lunch combo is a good deal. For $ 7.99 you get a half sandwich and small bowl of soup or salad, AND a cookie or piece of fruit, and a fountain drink.
They just opened a few weeks ago, and they are starting to get the hang of it. They must be a real threat to Tummy Stuffers which is next door. Today Stuffers had a 50% off sale trying to compete.
Later I had one of their yogurt smoothies, the Rainforest Rhumba. It was incredible, with low-​fat yogurt, blueberries, acai juice, and raspberries. It was a great smoothie.
This is not vegan, live/​raw, or radical vegetarian. It also isn’t high in sodium, sugar, or carbohydrates. This food is good for you, as it is prepared without frying. I follow my diet very closely and a meal here provided a good balance of the 23 key nutrients for a healthy life.

This morning’s breakfast was a Mediterranean breakfast burrito and a cup of fruit. Good priced and the fruit was fresh. The burrito was delicious, but it was definitely more tortilla than filling.

There are so many problems with this restaurant.
First of all, the name alone is misleading. One would expect organic health food with a name like «Nature’s Table», but what you get is overpriced, high calorie, cafeteria quality food. There is nothing special about their products. The bread and meats are nothing special (Really? Orowheat?), you could make a better sandwich at home with higher quality ingredients for much less than $ 8 per sandwich. I decided to go with the Chipotle wrap… almost 700 calories and flavorless. The «chicken breast» is clearly frozen and processed. So nasty and certainly NOT fresh as one would expect. It was certainly not worth the calorie splurge, so never again! And by the way there are very few things under 500 calories… again, at «Nature’s Table».
The workers were still getting the hang of things I think, but that is to be expected.
It was a disappointing and unfortunate experience. I will definitely not recommend this place to anyone. I will happily drive somewhere else for lunch in the future as will my coworkers whom experienced this low quality food with me.

We were waiting for this place to open and when it did, what a disappointment.
We went on Opening Day, so of course, everything was fresh and the turkey in my sandwich was of good quality, but everything we tried really lacked a lot of flavor. My friend got a Turkey Pesto Pannini and it was really bland. Could not taste the the pesto at all.
I know they have kinks to work out, but this place lost a STAR because of the short-​haired burnette that was training the workers. We had stopped by the week before to suggest that they bring menus to our company across the street (we do a lot of catering in). She couldn’t be bothered with us and just kept saying «the menu is on the website» Well, that doesn’t really help get the info out to local businesses, now does it?
Then when we went there for lunch and I asked what kind of bread choices they had, she snapped «for what sandwich?» I said, what difference does it make, what are my bread choices?
Only white and wheat and both are so bland and boring. Really, if you want to make sandwiches stand out, get good bread with texture and taste. How about adding some rye or sourdough or squaw? Then the cashier asked if I wanted mayonnaise or mustard on my sandwich and I said — what does it come with? Nothing. Really? So I asked for the Chipotle Aioli. They gave it to me, but on the side… Why oh why would you put it on the SIDE instead of on the sandwich?
It was also pricy. A sandwich and a small iced tea was $ 10

I work in the area and there’s not much to eat that’s close by. Nature’s Table just opened and I was very pleased with the soup I tried today. It’s very robust, well seasoned, and not overly salty. Really happy there’s a new place to try! :)
