  My wife and I are not vegan. We were a bit skeptical about trying this restaurant. However, we were blown away by our experience here. 1. The restaurant is small. There's no getting around having a small space. However, they've done an excellent job of using the space they have to feel warm and inviting. It's a great space for a date. Just remember, reservations are highly recommended. They have a couple of clean and private restrooms. They share a large parking lot with other businesses and the parking is free. 2. The service was awesome. Jennifer, (who I now realize is part owner) was really nice and attentive. She made us feel welcomed, explained the menu and the specials, and she timed all of our dishes perfectly so we could enjoy them in courses. She was very patient with us while deciding what to try and also gave great suggestions. 3. The food was amazing!! We shared their charcuterie board, oyster mushrooms, and the lions mane mushroom dish with potatoes. We did not feel like we compromised on flavors and/or tastes by having any of these dishes. They were all flavorful and filling. We will absolutely be back to try more of their dishes. 4. They have seasonal menus as well as drinks. So if there is something on the menu you really want to try, don't procrastinate. 5. Price. The pricing feels appropriate for the amount of food we received. It felt like a very fair exchange. Our meal was around $60 before tipping. 6. They also offer prepped meals that you can order and take home to reheat. I thought that was a great addition.

  I am Vegan. My husband is not. We both LOVED this meal. Absolutely delicious. The waitress Lee greeted us with a friendly, welcoming smile. Her recommendations were so helpful and spot on! To be honest. This was the best Vegan meal I have ever had at a restaurant! We started with the charcuterie board, my husband had the broccoli soup and the ravioli for dinner. I had the lasagna. WOW! Run do not walk to this restaurant!!

  I stumbled across this place and was greatly pleased. Noel seated and served me and did a phenomenal job of making sure I was taken care of. The food was delicious, and the tiramisu stole the show. I definitely recommend this place.

  1st time but not the last! Jennifer is amazing. Provided detailed descriptions and recommendations for the dishes. I ate some at the bar and took items to go. Totally vegan! Scallops, crispy oyster mushrooms, jackfruit bourguignon sample, cashew cream sample all were amazing. Had Ravioli and Cheesecake to go so not sure yet but if the dishes that I just had were any indication, they will be wonderful. Give them a try!
