Excellent Vegan food. Probably the best Vegan food in Delaware Valley. It does get very crowded and seating is tight and uncomfortable . If you sit next to your companion, you can hear each other. But, not so if you are across the table. Waiter was a bit dis-organized . But, the folks who brought the food and drinks to the table were efficient and courteous. The concerns over crowdedness and waiter are heavily outweighed by thedelicious foods. Without question, we will be back, probably on a non-weekend evening next time.

Our waiter was fantastic and helped with picking the best options for our meal! Everything was a hit, especially the drinks and desserts. I've been wanting to go here for years and so glad I finally made the trek down from NYC for this!!

We had our daughters birthday celebration since this is one of her favorite restaurants. The staff steered us from dishes with nuts due to her allergic rxn to tree nuts. We appreciated the recommendations. About 2 dishes per person. Bao Buns and mushroom pate were special as was the tofu. The sorbet with candle was a nice touch to end a very pleasant Sunday evening. Will be back for happy hour soon.

Our server was enthusiastic and professional. He asked right away if we had any allergen concerns (we do) and proceeded to make sure everything was safe to eat. The food was delicious and the tapas style was so much fun.
