    Fun local place, lots of very good veg options. Warm service. I had the cauliflower with peanut and green curry sauce and the little gem salad. Cauliflower could have been a little more al dente, but flavor of that was good. Loved the tahini and pistachios with the salad. All food was fresh, seasonal and well presented without feeling fussy. The staff all seemed like they enjoyed working there with each other.
