"Arrived to hostess on the 800° side to seat party of 5 at circular dining table.  Was given a list of specials. Ordered 3 of the Jameson “mule” cocktails with no price listed.  The drinks were extremely watery, bland, and in a small glass.  Our server offered us splashes of pineapple, juice, lemon juice, and cranberry juice, which did not help the flavor. It wasn’t until later, after asking a question about the bill the server told us the Jameson-which was supposed to be in the cocktail was out of stock and the bartender substituted Chivas regal, which is not something I would have wanted mixed with experimental syrups and not given the option to switch or cancel the order. Considering the 3 cocktails were $72, I felt the staff was inconsiderate and most bartenders will let you know if spirits are unavailable before they sold you something else.  The food and quality was good although the portions were small on many of the dishes. The burger was good, truffle fries, well cooked and tasty. The crabcakes seem to be made with fresh ingredients, but very tiny portion of accompaniments for the nearly $60 price tag for just the cakes. The filet mignon came well done when we asked for medium rare, so we insisted that it be remade, considering the price and the occasion. The meatballs were excellent, the steak Frites were good, and probably the best value. The carpaccio was weak due to the tiny amount of fish that was used and the pickled and umami flavors of the veggies and topping overpowered it to hide lack of fish. Good idea and concept but poor execution and not good quality.  We had to ask several times to get water refills for the children since cocktail glasses were used they would finish quickly and only got refills 90 minutes into our visit.  "

"Upscale vegan restaurant with a simplified menu and great offerings. We were surprised at the small number of options offered, but in a way it felt good because there was a lot less decision making. Ordering was simple, fast and easy. We went with the kimchi broccoli for the appetizers, the friend chicken and the Nashville burger. The kimchi broccoli was very good! The sauce was a bit spicy, with an incredible tingly flavor to it. The portion was a bit small, especially since it is a ?cheap? vegetable. In any case, the kimchi broccoli was a good and enticing starter. As per the entrees, I enjoyed the Nashville burger a more than the fried chicken, but the fried chicken plate was absolutely massive. Two large seitan, deep fried breast, with a satisfying crunchy finish. The mashed potatoes and broccoli were also pretty good but the vegan gravy made the dish. It tastes very similar to real gravely but it?s so much lighter. As per the Nashville sandwich, wow. I only wish it was bigger (but that?s because I have an incredible appetite). Super crunchy, nice kick, and super light surprisingly. Topped with cabbage and other light veggies, it was a very light and refreshing burger. Overall, this was an awesome vegan spot. The options are limited, but that makes it much easier to choose a meal, and ensures that their plates are very high quality. The servers were also very friendly, and the atmosphere was great. Absolutely recommend for a nice vegan date night"
