Fantastic good and excellent service for reasonable prices. The restaurant had a large selection of drinks and a proper choice of appetizers and entrees, which we appreciated. My favorite entree was the burger, and the brussel sprout appetizer was delicious—a great place to go with a large group of people with an accommodating and friendly environment.

Okay, so this restaurant isn’t vegan anymore and they don’t do brunch. I guess they’re in a transition. The menu they did have was about 8 options and you could sub for vegan meat for extra but it wasn’t a great selection. All of that makes sense, covid and all. What made this experience uncomfortable was the bartender/waitress, who was visibly frustrated with us as soon as we sat down. Every interaction was just weird and not good vibes. Lastly, they used to have avocado fries. Fries with avocados on it. The menu still offers the same item listing of “avocado fries”, but it’s now fried slices of avocados. The description just said they were boneless and for beach bods. We didn’t know what that meant until sad green hot pockets arrived. They were hot though so that’s good. Basically I say give this restaurant a chance cause I’ve heard great things about it. But not now. Let them get themselves together. Also maybe you’ll have better luck with the waitress 2 stars, makes sense why it was empty on a Saturday afternoon

A long overdue review of this exceptional place. Everything they do is fantastic. Whether you are vegan/plant based or not. This place serves up some phenomenal food and drink.

Brunch was so good we had to go back for dinner. Who can say no to 100% plant based AND the most chill doggo named Rhubarb? Have you ever had a vegan Monte Cristo sandwich while a golden retriever hangs out 6 feet away? It's like a dream. And the the PB&J jalapeños poppers with spicy aioli was born from a genius mind! I also enjoyed the shelter cheeseburger at brunch, and the chicken sando with a side of mac at dinner. Everything was fantastic including the cocktails, the atmosphere, amd the friendly service!!
