| - My experience here was disappointing. I saw on the menu a "vegan inspired" veggie burger and a line about working with customers with dietary restrictions, so I thought I'd be able to enjoy a vegan meal here.
Unfortunately, I never got a clear answer on whether the "vegan inspired" burger was actually vegan. Our server didn't know, and had to ask the chef. A manager came over and said they thought the burger patty was vegan, but not sure about the bun which was gluten-free. They did give an ingredient list for the burger patty, but it didn't list every ingredient (it said "BBQ sauce"- what's in that?) and the bun still seemed out of the question. I ended up just having sweet potato fries, and they served it to me with a mayo-type dressing to really solidify that they weren't understanding the whole vegan thing.
I don't blame anyone working that night- they seemed to be doing their best with a lousy menu and in an area they weren't trained in. Our waiter was very nice and I really appreciated his efforts. But I do blame the people who designed this menu and don't appear to give their employees the training and knowledge to do as the menu says- help customers with diet restrictions. "Vegan-inspired" is a ridiculous thing, to me, to put on a menu. It's like saying "gluten-free inspired" but not being sure if there's gluten in the meal.
I was told the menu was designed by a recently departed chef, and they will be coming up with a new menu. If they provide multiple vegan options, and clearly label them, so customers don't have to be so unsure of what they are eating, I will gladly update this review since they will have fixed the things that most disappointed me here and I would give this place another chance.
