    Everything about the meal was unbelievably spectacular, I felt like we were at a Michelin starred restaurant. But everything was vegan! The flavors were spectacular and the recipes inventive and exciting. We have always loved coming here, but there was something special about last night with a surprise menu curated by the chef. Vegan or not everyone should visit TLC!
