Great tapas - Edit
We went looking for unique vegan tastes, we left full but wanting more! Friendly staff, we will be back! Small space though and darkly lit, if that bothers you.

Me and my best friend came here for my birthday and I was over the moon with the experience we had! The food was amazing and there were so many great options it was hard to just pick a few things to share. Ten out of ten experience, great staff, great food, great drinks 😋

Fabulous! - Edit
We were there after 11pm so ate from the late night menu. It’s the first time I’ve managed to get hubbie into an all-vegan restaurant and he was actually impressed (high praise indeed!). We selected a few tapas and they were all outstanding.

Lana Del Ray Vegan Vibes - Edit
The ambiance was dark, chill, and so old school hollywood!! The menu had an amazing selection, so I went with two apps: the crab cake slider and bao buns. Both were delicious...I will definitely be back the next time I’m in Philly.

Great place but... - Edit
This is a great place but the proportions are so small that it’s hardly worth it. I mean the food was very good but it was $16 for 2 spoonfuls of risotto. I’d come back for the atmosphere and some drinks but would have to pass on the food.
Read morePros: Great atmosphere , Very good food, Great drink selection
Cons: Itty bitty teeny weenie proportions , Expensive

Fancy and very good food. Dishes are a bit too small for the price. - Edit
The food was really good. Yet, the dishes were a bit too small for what they cost. Location was nice but way too loud and dark.

Unforgettable experience!! - Edit
Walked in and was greeted with a great welcome! Immediately engaged in conversation to keep me entertained while a table was being set up. Once sat the server quickly offered assistance in understanding the menu and gave great suggestion on some of the items, as well describing why he suggested them. Food came out in a timely manner and the flavor was great. You could call this menu a bit pricey, but for me it was well worth it. The attentiveness of the whole staff was incredible. Truly and incredible experience!
Read morePros: Great taste!, Friendly and knowledgeable staff., Great service!

I see why they have the reputation they do - Edit
Tried to eat here a month ago on a Friday night and the place was PACKED. So much that I gave up and went somewhere else. Tried again on a weeknight, much better. They were still almost full, but I was able to grab a seat at the bar without having to wait, and had a fantastic drink (the Winds of Change) and enjoyed the soup and sliders. Will return!

Good - Edit
The ambiance and drinks must contribute to the reputation of this restaurant. The food was decent, but for the cost there are several other options we'd probably consider first next time. We tried five different items and a dessert. The bangers and mash were hands down the best thing that we had followed closely by the butternut squash soup. The mushroom risotto, zucchini "crabcake" sliders, and gnocchi were okay, but not anything we'd order again.
