    This was our first visit to the restaurant. The place was very full and it was clear from the moment we sat down they were short staffed. Mike, the host, was very cordial and helpful and came over right away to take our drink order. The selections were excellent and the food was absolutely delicious! When it came time for the bill, Eric, our server, was most apologetic…. not an apology we felt we needed or asked for…telling us about the short staff issue and apologizing that the service was not the norm. We appreciated that, but given the crowd, all was understandable. We look forward to another visit.

    Tasty and beautiful cocktails that are worth their pricepoint. Wish there were more small bites options. Came when opened and was only 1 other table, but took a while for the server to come over to put down coasters, then come back later to give water, then come back to take a cocktail order. Would've preferred to get an order in sooner.

    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.
