I thought this restaurant was great - a nice addition for healthy clean food. However, the menu was confusing - there were items that were clearly not vegan such as prime rib but there was no explanation of what the item actually contained. When we asked the server, she seemed somewhat indignant that we did not know that the tuna special was actually tomatoes.

Cocktails were good, food was mediocre. The crab dip lacked seasoning except excessive char (not browning) on top. The warm cookie was like a big Toll House, which went nicely with their egg nog variation. But it was a nice atmosphere and was otherwise a nice experience.
