Inside Scoop
- Don't miss the small shop in the back to buy frozen vegan goodies, pantry staples, and loose-leaf teas to take home.
- The restaurant is known for its mock meats that offer a unique, delicious experience rather than trying to perfectly mimic real meat.
- Consider ordering a variety of dishes to share, as many items are great for sampling with a group.
- While service is generally excellent, be aware that large groups (7+) have occasionally experienced slow and uncoordinated meal delivery.
- The atmosphere is calm, inviting, and spacious, making it a pleasant dining experience.
