Classy / Expensive

We loved the atmosphere / excellent service. They had one menu that included typical options, a gluten free page, and a vegetarian page. As other reviewers noted- I wished they had options both gluten free and vegetarian. Food was tasty and portioned smaller. My meal had more
rice than vegetables; for the cost of upper $20 , I’d hoped for more vegetables.

Misleading and few choices

The section of the menu labeled “plant based” is misleading. Several items have dairy- an accurate label would have been vegetarian. When I alerted the staff, they gave me a blank look like they did not know what I was talking about.

Their vegan hamburger bun is not gluten free, and the gluten free bun is not vegan. So one of the few vegan and gluten free choices on the menu (impossible burger) could not be eaten unless I used messy lettuce for a bun. Most of the Asian plates that could be adapted in another place could not because all their sauces had gluten in them. I ended up only being able to eat edamame with a side of tamari and a cucumber salad with rice vinegar. Hardly satisfying, particularly when I needed a solid meal before surgery the next day. Very disappointing that a small chain is not accommodating to more dietary choices/restrictions. We surprising have had much better luck at even an Italian restaurant down the street.

Pros: Two good mocktail options, Location convenient to hotel

Cons: No good vegan and gf options, Mislabeled menu (dairy is not plant based!), Staff not knowledgeable about vegan diet

Nicer option

Crave is pretty much the only nicer place in Rochester with vegan options. The vegan truffle fries and crave roll are my favorites. It’s not cheap, expect to shell out $75 for two entrees and drinks.

Pros: Nicer place to sit down, Labeled vegan options

Cons: Expensive

Good option for Rochester

I’ve eaten here several times. They have several vegan options including the standard impossible burger as well as sushi rolls, salad, a stir fry, and flatbreads. They used to have a watermelon poke bowl that was delicious but I no longer see that on their menu online. The “plant based” section of the menu mostly lists items with dairy cheese (last I checked, cows are not plants) but there are some that have vegan cheese options. Nothing here is better than what I can make at home but still a good option considering the limited dining options in Rochester, MN.
