Tender Greens

For when you're craving something good

  • Great salads and grilled items
  • Boutique wines and microbrews
  • Relaxing sunlit patio

Our idea at Tender Greens is to create a local gathering place where you can go for the home cooked meal you crave, listen to great music and relax in a space that feels comfy like home and cool like the corner spot where your friends meet after work.

Whether it's a bowl of hearty soup, a perfectly grilled steak and mashed potatoes or one of our huge fresh salads, you are getting the very best of California in every bite. Our farmers bring the heads of lettuce every morning as soon as they have picked them. Our meats and fish are certified organic.

When you come to Tender Greens, we hope you will stay a while and get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Grab a glass of wine, eat some good food, un-hunch your

shoulders and chill.

Editorial Review for Tender Greens – by Martha Burr

In Short
Accenting the upscale artsy vibe of this rejuvenated Culver city neighborhood is this eco-friendly date spot, Sony exec lunch spot and organic haven for locals. Inside, polished blond wood and stainless steel exude modern warmth and huge plate glass windows bring the outdoors in. The wraparound sidewalk patio offers tables under fragrant Jacaranda trees amid herbs and vines. Specialties include big salads made with Scarborough Farms greens, gourmet soups, sandwiches and mesquite-grilled flatiron steak and free-range chicken.

Insider Tips

Parking

Street parking is limited during busy hours--there's a public structure around the corner on Watseka.

What to Drink

Fresh-squeezed juices, artisan sodas, micro beers on tap and boutique wines by the glass or bottle are available.

What to Drink

The coolest seat is the cushioned banquette on the patio just outside the front door--it's shaded and off the street but still good for people-watching. A lovely rough hewn wood table with rustic benches is ideal for larger groups of eight to 10.

User Reviews for Tender Greens

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

05/06/2008 Posted by sipandswirl

The food is always consistently amazing. I feel so healthy whenever I eat there. It is worth the wait every time. I think it would be great if they expanded into full service dining with a beer and wine list at night. I would come every week!

Pros: good food - good price

Cons: long lines, prefer waiters to work with instead of runners

4 Star Rating: Recommended

I like this place. The food isn't comment worthy, but it is fresh and balanced, it isn't full of salt, fat or sugar like a lot of places, so it feels like you ate healthy. I like the cafeteria style and it is clean.
