    Both meals were fabulous. Took a while to get our entrees...they were not busy. A bit pricey. Ordered their kale caesar salad added a 3 oz salmon which was pretty pricey for a tiny serving.

    Wonderful experience. Been meaning to come here for quite some time and so glad we finally made it. Our server was awesome, wish I could remember his name, but it was the perfect service. Food was excellent, we wanted to order everything, but will just have to settle on coming back again and again. Order dessert also! We had four of them :)

    This is a great restaurant for a mixed group of vegans and non vegans. We loved the very tasty Brussels sprouts and roasted yam wedges appetizers. For entrees we had vegan sushi, vegan mushroom burger and bison burger — all delicious and well seasoned. We tried two desserts — vegan key lime pie and raw chocolate tart, both delightful. They have a well curated wine list, and we enjoyed our selections. We will be back!

    I ordered a bowl and it was no problem to substitute brown rice for the quinoa. Flavors were delicious!
