After the last 2 bad Saturday dinner experiences, we tried again. And they managed to raise the 1 star rating to 5 again. The food we waited for 1 hour before came very fast and with very good quality. The lady employee who wore glasses was very very polite. We had a nice dinner with my children and my wife.Thank you

My first time experiencing vegan restaurant. The server was very kind and prompt. I did not catch her name. We were there for lunch on November 11, 2024. The food just blew us away. Amazingly delicious. The prices were not too high, but I would not consider cheap either. Over all it was a positive experience. Thank you.

We went during happy hour and the prices were right and the food was fantastic. I had the cod tacos, which were incredible along with a very yummy margarita. It was the perfect place to have a bite to eat before seeing a concert at the Opera House.
