I liked the mezze platter, it was simple and had tasty hummus. Also got the vegan burger (100% vegan place) and was so surprised with how similar to meat it was in texture. It also had what tasted like Swiss cheese on top but I have no idea what kind of vegan cheese tastes that similar.

Amazing Dinner!! Vegan restaurant & allergen friendly (thus far) based on my communications before making a reservation. So far no negative reactions & it’s been a few hours (I’ll update this if that changes).

I HIGHLY recommend The Wild Mushroom Crepe! Everything else was very good, but the crepe was ridiculously delicious. Loved the Berry Crumble dessert too.

Due to romantic lighting, my pictures below aren’t great - but take a look-see.

Aside from the food, the staff is wonderful and restaurant has a nice ambiance.

They have an extensive GF menu, including desserts, and the staff knows about cross contamination.

A bit pricy, but delicious. Had the stuffed avocado salad and the pumpkin flan.

I wish we had just gotten dessert and tea...the lunch gluten-free menu is pretty limited, and we weren't impressed by any of it. my black-bean pumpkin seed burger was very bland and tasteless...I ate the veggies and left most of the burger. the vegetable nori rolls aren't bad, but small portions for high prices. ambiance was nice, but I doubt we would go back.
