    Always a great experience. I love their thoughtful vegan options. And the staff is always fantastic, the best in Davis Square!! They always go out of their way to make us (including my two very young sons) feel so welcome.

    I booked this for my daughter’s 17th birthday with friends. They thoroughly enjoyed themselves and the food - and the waitstaff was very attentive. Thanks for making it a special night!
