A bit pricey albeit inventive, flavorful vegan dishes. Love the building more than the restaurant (have been through many restaurant/food incarnations at this location & will continue to visit, even after Strange Town has passed on).

I would've liked to have given this place a good rating, but in good conscience, I can't recommend this place and here's the main reason: the music on the record player was way too loud - our group of friends had trouble hearing each other. No reason for music this loud in a pretty, intimate restaurant. We politely asked the bartender if she could turn down the volume and she gave us a hard time! "We just don't do that," she said. Then she made a show of turning it down, but we could've sworn that if anything, she turned it up. And she was snotty to boot. What the ....!? Sorry, there's just no excuse from this kind of poor customer relations. As for the food - meh, overpriced and average at best. We won't be going back to this place again! They can play their music at high volume to their hearts' content - to an empty bar and restaurant.

The food is divine vegan goodness. The Thai curry dish is excellent, and the Shepard's pie was delightful. We are never disappointed with the quality of the food or service.

The food, ambiance, and service was great. The only complaint that I have was that my chair was really rickety. I felt like I was gonna break it at any moment.

Wonderful, creative menu. Delicious flavors and presentation. The dining room is moderately uncomfortable: cold, loud, unattractive. Nice bar.

Overall very enjoyable night! Friendly service, cozy atmosphere. Special of the night was amazing - 3 out of our 6 dishes were incredible - the other 3 were good. We rated the desserts a 3.5 out of 5. We'd definitely go back - it's so nice to have a place where we can order anything off of the menu!

Excellent food, and the fact that it’s vegan is even better! Every dish was wonderful — full of flavor and imaginative. Prices were very fair, considering the high quality, and portions were perfect for sharing. Only the tiny dessert seemed a bit overpriced. Even the cocktails were interesting and excellent. The ambience was perfect for a cozy anniversay dinner. We can’t wait to return!

Always delighted by the menu. The constant alterations, while sometimes subtle, keep the menu fresh. Ambiance is always on point, and the staff is super friendly.
