Pricing:
It's going to be about $9-12 per entree. This means you pick your main dish plus two sides. They do serve wine and beer here. So if you get drinks it will be about $18 a person.
Distance:
In the La Costa area of Carlsbad. Right on the corner of Avaria Parkway and El Camino Real. Theoretically close to Encinitas. If you hit all the lights, 10 minutes. If you don't, 20 minutes.
Thoughts:
An interesting establishment. I was a little thrown off at first by the "fresh kitchen" title. Like, what the heck does that even mean? Tin Leaf is a walk in, order and then sit down to eat type of place. So this also makes it easy for take out.
Essentially, the menu consists of fresh American food options. So you'll have options like soup and salad along with meatloaf, mac and cheese or turkey breast. While not exactly a gourmet steak or farmer's market, it is fresher than a fast food joint. I would place it in the same genre as Panera Bread.
The food is quite good and not at all a bad option for a fast, sit-down lunch or dinner. I've yet to order something I didn't like. There are enough menu options to appeal to both health conscious parents and hungry kids.
