    We were a party of six and had dinner at 7:00 on a Saturday night. We got a lot of food and drinks. Didn’t realize it was a vegan restaurant when I booked it. I would not have picked it, only because one person in our party is a meat eater and has a limited diet. We ended up all loving the food except for the one with the limited diet. But great variety. Dishes are definitely on the smaller side / tapas, and many of the dishes had heat. We ordered just the right amount of food and continued ordering as the night went on. We got 1 potato croquette( not spicy) 2 eggplant Bao buns,( 3 per order) Bit spicy for some- but loved them!) 2 - Charlie’s sliders. (2or 4 per order) 1 mamas meatballs. ( my least favorite)1 oyster mushroom calamari. ( small but so good) 4 zucchini crab cake sliders. ( really good) mushroom and Barley toast. 1 crispy Tofu which had spice but one of my favorites of the night. 1 triple cooked fries. 2 brassica salads( falafel) and 1 cauliflower - another favorite. Food came out quick and appeared to look nice. Just small and couldnt really see anything we ate. It was very dark in the restaurant. ( too dark) Bill came to $465 and change. Tip was included with there being 6 in the party. The drinks were definitely some of the best drinks we have ever had. Most drinks are $17. Four of us had two drinks each and one person had a glass of wine. I had two different tequila drinks and they were both fantastic!! My husband had their version of an old fashion. It was super Smokey. So good and more alcohol in this drink. One person had their version of an espresso martini which was made with tequila. Also, very good. Our only complaint was how dark it was in the restaurant and how small the print was on the menu. Don’t forget your cheaters if you ever need glasses. Overall, it was a great night! Great food, great service and AMAZING drinks!! Would love to come back and try anything that we may not have ordered and the try the last tequila drink.

    We had a fairly big party so perhaps that changed the experience. However I was underwhelmed mostly by the service which was inattentive and somewhat by the food. The drinks are fabulous and I would much rather just come to their bar. My vegan friend loves this place, so I will likely go back.
