I can't remember if I reviewed the Bean, and if not- i'll be glad to do it again :) I've been trying to find more vegan restaurants in Charlotte- something different and not too overly pricey. I saw the Bean randomly while on Independence and laughed b/c I got a kick out of the name. Weeks later I thought I'd give it a try.....So glad I did. The menu is tasty- and very different. I had seen mixed reviews on the beer and wine (or if they served it) and indeed they do serve both. I hope to see more selection of (in particular) beers, but the Shock Top hit the spot. I decided to try the Jack Fruit Tacos- DELISH! The blending of flavors was excellent. A few of my friends tried some other options- like the "bacon" Cheeseburger and the "wings"- both delish. It's definitely in an odd spot and a 'destination' spot, but don't be fooled by the location....it's a great restaurant to try! Our server was polite and attentive. A tad $$$ for the servings- I can't say it will be a regular spot for me, but will make it a special occasion spot. Try it out!
