"I went here today to grab lunch. Although the restaurant had plenty of open tables, we were told by the hostess, who barely greeted us, that they were not taking walk ins. Okay strange but fine. Before leaving and standing 2 feet away from the hostess stand, we started to look on open table to research where else to go and saw that there were actually plenty of open reservations at this restaurant at the current time. So I booked one for 10 minutes later. I walked back over to her and said I was able to book on open table, so are there tables then? She rudely said yes I 'm just following protocol Umm am I in the twilight zone? I get she 's just a kid, but what kind of place is this? You won 't take walk ins, but I can literally stand there and book in front of the hostess and then it 's okay? Am I being punked? Meanwhile, as I was booking on open table, we saw 2 other parties get told the same thing about not taking reservations and so a total of 8 people left. Why would this be their protocol? And why would you have the most socially inept kid greeting your customers. Between the completely weird seating policy at a restaurant that was not full, the rude hostess who is essentially who you have as the face of your business setting the tone, and the fact that this place has mediocre reviews, we decided to leave as well. So in less than 5 minutes, this place had 10 paying customers leave. I will NEVER go back."

"Nice new restaurant with a cozy interior. It's the perfect place to hang for a while. The servers and owner are super nice and helpful. There are a few vegan options for appetizers, entrees, and a dessert. We got the mushroom/lentil pate and avocado fries with drinks. The pate came on two small pieces of toast, not what we expected but tasty. The avocado fries were panko crusted and great for what they are. The dipping sauce was great but we kind of wanted some regular fries after, so we asked of we could get a basket (not offered but we saw that they had fries with entrees). They came with cheese on them so we nicely asked if they could be remade. The server happily obliged but unfortunately they came back with cheese still on the bottom half of the fries, as of the staff had just scraped some cheese off and sent them back out. This was in the first few weeks of business so I'm hoping that they've spoken to the staff on the importance of dietary needs and allergies, especially considering it's a health focused restaurant. The owner was there and she was super nice, sending us out an apple strudel on the house. She said it was originally made with butter but going forward will use avocado oil to have more vegan options! So that was great. I gave it only 3 stars as I felt the prices for portions were quite high for the area, and they only had one vegan entree. The food was tasty but not mind blowing so it's not a place we'll likely be back at. Otherwise I think it'd be a good option with a group of mixed eaters or if you want a nice quiet place for a drink!"
