Brilliant vegan options

This is one of my favorite restaurants in America. The bread is magical and the plant butter option is perfect. The vegan chickpea stew is so flavorful and fresh. The new Cajun tofu over polenta is one of the best things I've ever tasted. Like, ever. My husband who is not vegan but wants to be ordered it and we cannot stop talking about the layered flavors and perfectly fried tofu. The vegan chocolate mousse is absolute perfection and the vegan pistachio gelato may have changed my life forever. This place is magical.

Pros: Bread, Choices , Incredible staff

My hub and I go there every couple of months and I have yet to be disappointed. You should come back in the summer when the produce is absolutely fabulous. I had the chickpea stew and pistachio ice cream last time!

Options make three course vegan meal

House made vegan cheese for cheese plate and pizza, and the Chocolate moose dessert was awesome, don’t miss the pizza. They even had mix d drinks with aquafaba. My husband and I are both vegan and we had a very nice anniversary dinner!

Pros: The cheese plate is great- order with bread, Pizza was delicious , Three vegan dessert options when we were there

Cons: They do not know honey is not vegan, So Ask about breads when you order

Delicious Vegan Cheese Plate

They have a vegan cheese plate, which was delicious as well as two vegan entrees. We had the chickpea croquettes. There were two small, deep-fried patties that had a very mild, almost bland taste. They were served on a bed of whole chickpeas (this seemed redundant) with a scant amount of quinoa and a skimpy serving of veggies. As an afterthought, we had to order a side of grilled veggies. If we were to order this again, we'd ask to swap out the whole chickpeas for more veggies.

Pros: Fresh food, There was no plastic tableware! Great, Great service

Cons: Skimpy on the veggies, Vegies cooked with oil instead of steamed

Best incidental find ever!!

We chanced upon this listing on Happy Cow while hungry and driving through the area - and what a find!! I saw ✨VEGAN CHEESE BOARD✨ on the menu and immediately had to go.

We had a great experience. While the food was a 7.5/10 for us (thoughtful vegan menu, could have used more depth of flavor), the service was 11/10. Very kind waitstaff who understand vegan. The vegan cheese board was tasty - especially with the carrot jam and the pecans, yum! We tried the crispy chickpea croquettes which were beautifully presented, but a bit lacking in flavor for us. The fried green tomatoes were unfortunately a miss.

Highly recommend the fried Brussels sprouts side with maple balsamic - this ended up being my most favorite thing out of everything we ordered.

Overall, definitely recommend 👍🏼

Pros: Delicious cocktails!

Excellent

We went for our anniversary and it was great. Hub is Omni, but he likes vegan food. The restaurant has really upped their menu with multiple vegan dishes, including a fancy V cheese plate to share, two entrees, vegan cheese option for their pizzas, and at least two desserts, including chocolate mousse with vanilla custard - they prefer aquafaba to eggs - and lemon meringue pie. Our server was outstanding and I’m def going back for my birthday next month.

Pros: Excellent bread plate with vegan butter , Lots of tables but it’s not loud inside , Plenty of vegan options

Even a vegan and gluten-free dessert!

Vegan chocolate mousse to cap off my Daniel’s birthday dinner! He started with a nice, healthy salad with beets, chickpeas, and olives, followed by vegan tofu with tomatoes, chard, mushrooms, and white beans.

Pros: Great service, Beautiful plate presentation, Nice ambiance

Outstanding

Always has at least one vegan entree and clearly marked. Vegan dessert too. Great homemade bread (ask for olive oil). Casual with upscale feel. Lively cocktails too. Friendly staff— ask for Kristi and tell her Jonathan and Corey from Chicago sent you.

Thoughtful dishes and vegan friendly

From beginning to end a great experience. Perfect outdoor spots. Very cognizant of covid protections. Breads were incredible. Wait staff engaging, kind, helped to explain what our options were. Vegan cauliflower was the best vegan main course I’ve had in years. So many flavors thoughtfully put together. Vegan pavlova for dessert was also very well done. Will for sure be back the next time we are in the area!

Pros: Vegan food extremely well done, Exceptional service, experience top notch for vegans and non-vegans

Cons: Can’t think of any
