DO NOT GO HERE

This place is not safe for women!!! DO NOT go here for a drink unless you're looking to get drugged and who knows what else. The owners and staff all know this yet refuse to help the customers who have been abused. They will not release footage of any incidents and will hire their own private investigator to try to shut you up. Link to page will be posted below. This place needs to be shut down immediately for this corruption.

Cons: Rude staff, They know people get drugged yet do nothing for it

Separate vegan menu

We had the vegan chicken and veggies and tacos. The chicken portion was huge and there were lots of vegetables. Tacos were tasty.

Pros: Separate vegan menu , Large portions , Good beer selection

Cons: TOO NOISY , no vegan desserts

Awesome atmosphere

Very cool place with separate vegan menu! Got the sautéed vegan chicken & it was delicious! They have live music on some days of the week.

Recommended despite the price

I know a lot of people say this place is a little pricey for what you get but my girlfriend and I did have a great experience here. Food was very flavorful for a restaurant that does not necessarily cater to vegan. Loved the design and atmosphere here too. Great place for a special occasion but not a casual night out.

Pros: Cool atmosphere, Interesting flavorful options

Cons: Expensive

Wouldn’t get food there again

Got take-out. The grilled seitan “chicken” with asparagus was not very good, nor large. My girlfriend got seitan tacos with fried plantains, none of which was great. It’s nice that they have a vegan menu, but it’s overpriced and the food isn’t very good

Pros: Dedicated vegan menu

Cons: Expensive, Food isn’t that tasty, Portions aren’t that big

Cons: All the salads suck here don’t bother, They don’t have any Seitan/the Beyond/ impossible

Great on the boss’ dollar

In middle of corporate park, lots of work events here, caters toward office lunches, cocktail hours, and dinners. Fine place if you aren’t paying. Not a vegan destinstion otherwise.

Pros: Quality food, Interesting space

Cons: Expensive, Not many options

Just ok

The building & atmosphere is fun but food & drinks are about average

Pros: Bartender was good, Limited vegan wood fired pizza, Focus is the standard bar fair

Cons: Price was ok, I expected more from the menu , I would try another place next time

SKIP IT

1. Beyond loud.
2. Slow service.
3. VERY OVERPRICED for vegan food that costs a dollar!
4. NOT big portions even though most of dish was rice, noddles, etc. which costs very little!!!
5. No vegan desserts or appetizers-except guacamole for like $15
6. ONE PLUS-food tasted good.

Pros: taste

Cons: noise, overpriced, not big portions
