    It was uncomfortably warm in the restaurant to the point that it was hard to enjoy the meal and time spent there. When we left and we stepped out of the restaurant into the street we actually felt a sense of relief as, even though it was a warm night, it was still much more pleasant outside than inside. The person who seated us was unsmiling and unwelcoming. Our waiter was great until towards the end of the meal when he simply disappeared for about 15 minutes. We would go back as it is one of the better vegan restaurants but would not go back during the summertime.

    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!
