  $100 gets you a 4 course meal with wine pairing. Portion sizing is generous and staff is very friendly. Definitely make a reservation. Menu is 6 starters, 6 mains, 3 desserts - a classic recipe. Crusted mushroom, BBQ tempeh and tandoori kabocha squash were unconventional but hit the spot. Accompaniments complimented the "meat" well and were visually appealing. Menu changes regularly but I will be coming back for more.

  First and foremost, I have to mention that I am not vegan or vegetarian and eat meat on the regular. However, all the negative stigma of "gross vegan food" was completely blown out of the water here! The good was amazing and the service impeccable! Our server must have been the owner or something similar, because the power moves he pulled were something I'll always remember. We were seated and I mentioned I'm trying to eat more vegan and what would be good for someone like me. He immediately recommended some dishes such as the calamari mushrooms. In fact, before he even returned to our table and recommended this, he already placed the order on the house! And added some other appetizers too! They were all great, and the mushrooms were absolutely delectable. Then we ordered the three course meal and I asked for potatoes and the burger, he immediately shot my potato order down and said no, you can get potatoes anywhere here, and simply placed a different order for me. Boy was he right! The food was delicious! The burger I ordered was super interesting! It was juicy and savory, definitely not meat-feeling, but it also definitely didn't matter! The flavors were not something I was used to, but it was very very well done. I would absolutely have it again! The same goes for the apple pie we ordered, new and fantastic tastes! It was rich and sweet, and definitely impactful! I would come back just for the server we had alone, I cannot express how highly I recommend coming here, the food and service is outstanding!

  Tomato salad - had more going on than I expected / more sweetness and spice, but overall the flavors worked pretty well together and I liked it. Mushrooms and stuff with tomato sauce - the tomato cream sauce was very good. And the mushrooms and potatoes were cooked to a degree of crustiness and dryness that worked really well with the sauce. I liked this dish a lot.

  The food is good and the flavors are very well paired. We enjoyed the mushroom dish, the burger, and the pesto pasta. But overall the did was mushy and lacked textures and crunchiness and variety. The restaurant was very dusty and you could see cobwebs everywhere, deep layers of dust on the support beams near the benches. The bathrooms smelled dingy. The wait staff was very pleasant and the highlight of our experience.

  Nice restaurant, great service at the bar and overall great energy. The food was good, but I can't say it was wow. Personal opinion too many ingredients in entrees and ingredients don't balance together. I would have enjoyed something simple.
