Best Vegan Restaurants in Financial District / Embarcadero

We had a wonderful anniversary celebration dinner! The miso soup with mushrooms was delicious. The sushi rolls were some of the best we’ve had anywhere (dungeness crab, crispy spicy tuna) with high quality and super fresh ingredients. The crispy Brussels sprouts with mustard sauce were to die for and the Japanese fried chicken (a favorite from a prior visit) certainly didn’t disappoint. Excellent cocktails as well (Roka Old Fashioned with Toku whiskey for me, and Blood Orange Margarita for my wife). Topping it off was truly world class service - no less than 3 different staff attending to our every need, and water glasses were never empty something I find important but sadly rare even at otherwise great restaurants. Even the hostess who seated us was a cut above - courteous, efficient, informative. Highly, highly recommended!

Great dining experience for a large group. All the leaded and unleaded cocktails were delicious as was all the food. We ended up ordering double of all the small plates because they were so delicious. The cod and the spaghetti were decadent and perfection. We didn’t have time to stay for dessert so we will have to check them out next time. Thanks!

We ordered all the apps for a group of 8. Service was great from the bar to the tables. Very friendly bartender and waitstaff! Love the convenient parking coming from the East Bay. This is a great meeting spot. Loved the hummus, Brussels and the halloumi. Not a duck fan but the radio it came on was great. Wish Tadig was offered with the kabab. Loved the ice cream with saffron.

The flavors played together like a symphony of perfectly orchestrated sensations! The cabbage and the spaghetti were “first chair”. The servers were very friendly, patient in explaining the dishes, enthusiastic and super friendly! It as a five star dinner in every possible way.

I have been a customer of this Gem for over 20 years. The food is authentic Italian with a modern creative touch to it. Best of all it is seasonal which gives you something to look forward to every quarter. The clams and mussels come in several broths and it never fails that when I bring a guest they all fawn over it. Service is good and the owners pay close attention to making everyone comfortable. The decor is reminicint of Pompei and one of the owners Pinot will tell you the story of it if you ask. Definately if you want an authentic modern Italian meal, this is the place
