"I am so sad to write this review. I am vegan and have been to all the LA vegan usual suspects many times cross roads, gracias Andre, plant food and wine, Pura vita. I can say all, are much better. We first came before Covid and the food was beyond amazing. 2.5 years later, we came back for my husbands birthday. We had such good memories we drove over an hour from Redondo Beach. We learned that ownership changed before Covid, as all restaurants did, they suffered during Covid horribly sad) but it's just not that great. Our waitress told us the new chef was young, inventive and amazing... Well the fennel flat bread likely had viola life cheddar, which is my favorite plant based cheese at home, but a “high end” restaurant using what tasted like a bag cheese was very dissapointing. I go out for that creamy, delicious almond ricotta or cashew creme. Not bag plastic. The special pasta was so salty it was near not edible. It was so al dente it was hard and undercooked, and the crispy kale salad left wanting more. It was plain bland. I am sorry for this review. I just hope no one is driving like we did, hoping for what used to be"
