Delicious vegan shepherd’s pie - Edit
We are in the area for a bit and needing to eat out a bunch, and while our top choice places were unexpectedly closed for the long Fourth of July weekend, we ended up here. The vegan shepherd’s pie was definitely excellent, and $21. It was filling and delicious, but I am glad I also ordered the garlicky greens side in addition. They were made vegan upon my request but otherwise have added butter. I tend to agree with the other reviewers that this place could do vegan a lot better, but at least you can ask to specify vegan needs than can be accommodated if possible. The service was pretty slow on a day where there were three tables including us and two servers. I’m glad I had the shepherd’s pie the one time. My non-vegan family who lives in the area doesn’t care for this place but said a lot of people they know like it.

V for Vegetarian labeled on the printed menu - Edit
The printed menu, not the online menu, clearly marks Vegetarian dishes with a V. Be aware that dishes such as Brussels sprouts and the Tofu & Vegetables Rice Bowl lack a V for a reason. I learned from a hostess who happens to be a vegetarian that the Brussels sprouts are made with fish sauce, so one can assume the same for the Rice Bowl. You'd expect as much in a Thai restaurant, but not in a restaurant that serves standard American fare. While the fried potatoes are labeled with a V, are they fried in the same oil as the meat and fish?
Read moreIn any case, the one outstanding dish that is clearly named Vegan is the Vegan Shepherd's Pie. I would describe it more as very interesting than as very good. Connecticut Magazine happened to highlight this vegan dish in its July 2021 issue, including its complete recipe, at: https://www.connecticutmag.com/food-drink/recipes/recipe-this-vegan-shepherd-s-pie-is-a-delightful-departure/article_c2ee6500-e683-11eb-a4c7-8394be0782e2.html
Its spacious, bright, and beautiful interior looks more like one big bar than a restaurant, so if you frequent bars you will feel at home here.
Pros: spacious, bright, and beautiful interior, easy parking
Cons: fish sauce in unlikely dishes

some vegan options - Edit
sister restaurant of dog lane in uconn, but i find that i prefer the latter over fenton! my non-veg family loves this place, but i’ve had difficulty finding good vegan menu options. would def recommend the brussels sprouts app though!!

Emily - It is wise to question any menu item not specifically listed as vegetarian or vegan, and the Brussels sprouts are listed as neither because ... they are made with fish sauce.
Read moreI learned this upon questioning the very well informed and helpful waitress who herself happened to be vegetarian, and so appropriately in the know.
