Went here for Valentine’s Day. They included a live jazz band and complimentary photo ops which were framed on the spot. The service was friendly and helpful. The vegan food was good but pricey for the portions ($28 for the Beet Wellington). Overall they created a lovely valentines dinner for my wife and I.

So happy with this new addition to the neighborhood! Came for lunch for the first time and everything was excellent!! The food was delicious! We shared the zucchini chips and they were crispy, not soggy or oily which you sometimes get at other restaurants. The grilled octopus was so tasty my mouth is watering just thinking about it! I had the salad which was very tasty with the grilled onion. My friend had the grilled vegetable panini and she said it was delicious! I'll be a repeat customer for sure!!
