3 appetizers + 1 salad no protein as only vegan options. Server understood vegan. - Edit
There are 4 vegan options:
Read more1) Appetizer: Edamame with spicy oil and salt (I ordered it without the oil and they accommodated me)
2) Appetizer: Nachos which were terrible. It was mainly blue corn chips with an orange oil sauce plus a scoop of guacamole and some tiny portions of tomato, string beans, raw red onion, cucumber, and bell peppers
3) Appetizer: Guacamole + salsa + chips
4) Salad: A salad with vegetables as the "protein". No protein options for vegan on the menu except purchasing the edamame appetizer separately for $9
They have 2 vegan dressings
I asked what my vegan options were and this was it. I asked if they have beans they could add to the salad. The server said they don't have any beans.
The edamame without the spicy oil was good. The nachos were awful. I would not return here. There is no vegan menu. My carnivore family LOVED their meals!
I would rate them 1.5 stars because my meal was a 1 star experience, but they are trying to be clear about what they offer that is vegan and they were willing to leave the oil off my edamame appetizer, so at least they are making an effort. But I'm rounding down since I left hungry but spent a lot for terrible food overall.
Pros: Edamame without the oil was good, Server understood vegan & knew 4 vegan options , Cute ambiance & carnivore family LOVED their food
Cons: Vegan "cheese" sauce is like orange oil. Terrible., 3 appetizers + 1 salad no protein are only options, I left hungry but spent a lot to get what I ate.

Aloha Ava so sorry you had a bad experience. We have many items on our menu that can be made vegan besides the items you have listed. Our server may have not known this and we apologize for that. Our new menu will have an icon noting what can be made vegan on it. Hopefully you come back when that is done to give us another try. Mahalo for your review and we will address with staff.

Vegan options available - Edit
Happily surprised to be able to order some vegan options for appetizers and for dinner. I got the tacos(really a tostada) but they also had a green curry and a coconut lime soup as options. Nice holiday atmosphere. Per my friends the non-vegan options were just ok
Read morePros: Pineapple salsa, Guacamole , Vegan taco
Cons: Taco was more like a tostada , Limited choices for vegans

Not too many vegan options - Edit
Edit: I've tried coming back a couple of times, and their consistently out of vegan options. I wouldn't recommend to vegans, but maybe vegetarians. 
Read moreThis place has only a couple of vegan options. They are clearly marked on the menu. I ended up getting their coconut lime soup, and it was great! They have outside seating, a full bar, excellent service!

Very few options - Edit
We went for my moms birthday because it was recommended and looked at the menu online before hand. The online menu you had quite a few vegan options but when we got there they had changed their menu and removed a lot of the options. There were only 2 things that were vegan/could be veganized so we were pretty bummed out
