| - Very cool place. Best mac & cheese I've ever had, and the secret passageway downstairs is awesome. The rest of my table enjoyed their meals as well -- they had the chicken and risotto and burger.
However, I was slightly disappointed as a vegetarian. I was the only vegetarian at the table, and I picked the place because I incorrectly assumed that when they say they can make every dish gluten free, vegetarian, or vegan, they meant that they had more innovative, made-from-scratch, flavorful types of meat substitutes. What they do is either remove the meat entirely or replace it with a Gardein meat substitute. I imagine this is a good place to go if you're going with omnivores, since it's nice to have the option. But if you're going because you want to try some cool vegetarian or vegan food, this is not the place. Especially when juxtaposed with a delicious sounding omnivore-friendly menu, this is such a let down. I also don't understand how they can justify the prices once you remove the meat -- the shepherd's pie, vegetarian, is just vegetables and mashed potatoes... for $12 or $14? No. Absolutely not. I'm not reducing my rating for that, as the food I had was delicious, but my advice is to adjust your expectations if you're a vegetarian or vegan.
