    This was my third time visiting this restaurant (I’m from Florida) and it did not disappoint! It’s hard to believe it’s a totally vegan establishment & my husband (who is not vegan) loved it as well! AMAZING!

    Good for drinks and small plates. Wouldn't consider this a great spot for a relaxed dinner.

    Food is delicious, would never know it’s all vegan. Ordered too much for the table… highly recommend the broccolini, potato croquettes, hummus, sliders. Least favorite was the eggplant. Service was attentive bring your reading glasses, it’s really dark!

    We loved the food and service was good . The darkness was mostly our issue. We couldn’t read the menu and we could barely see our food so we left without ordering desserts and more food.

    The restaurant has an unpleasant odor. It’s either the candles with butane or the food. The food was presented beautifully. The food tasted pretty good, but due to the terrible odor I will not be back.

    Tasty dishes, unique menu items with plenty of fun Vegan offerings. A bit too dark and crammed for our medium sized party.
