Beautiful restaurant with some vegan options. the pizza was not bad. crust was thoughtful and crisp. Maybe 2.5 stars. the beet salad was a hit! hummus plate was delicious.

As stated before, no vegan option for lunch. Was not offered any alternative at all, so I sat and watched myy boyfriend eat his lunch and then we had to find somewhere else for me to eat. The waiter was blunt and unhelpful. Another waitress went out of her way to make us a homemade soda when the only thing I tried to order wasn't available that day.

Requested the “Vegan Tray” on the menu but waiter said it’s only for dinner. Mentioned someone had said the kitchen can accommodate, to which he said “Dinner only.” Also asked for no added oil on the buns but he said “It’s how they make it.” Never had that response in any restaurant before. The Roasted Artichoke wasn’t roasted but so charred that there was no flesh left. The vegetarian sandwiches were drenched in oil—soggy and void of flavor.

The only vegan option has a choice: Rice or tofu. Which means you’re not gonna get your proteins. The food was tasty, the staff tried to sell extra options and was obviously disappointed we didn’t order more.

Gorgeous place, like you’re in a hobbit hole, with great food!
