I'm being nice and rounding up to four stars, mainly because they worked with me and my lifestyle and provided excellent service. Basically we arrived downtown on a weeknight at 730pm. Parking was easy... We threw money in the meter and headed into the restaurant.
The hostess greeted us with a smile. We asked her about the menu items and if anything could be made vegan. Yes, I know glutton is next to an all vegan restaurant... But I wasn't overly impressed with vegenation and their recent health grades... Plus We wanted something different:) the hostess asked our server Stacey and she came back with four different menu items that could be prepared vegan. We decided to sit down and give this place a try.
The decor is very simple... Open ceiling and exposed ventilation systems... It had a very lofty, industrial feel. There was seating around the exposed kitchen which we loved and will probably use next time. Overall it has a great feel to it.
The service was great. Stacey was extremely knowledgable about the menu and I felt very comfortable asking questions and ordering from her. Our water was never empty... And the table was always clean thanks to the busser.
The menu is easy to navigate and isn't very large. However, it's eclectic and has something for everyone's taste:)
We ordered our cocktail and wine... Both were delicious. I'm not sure I've ever tried a mule that delicious... And my wine... The best 5$ cab I've ever had. My boyfriend ordered the brown butter gnocchi. He said it was good. Listed under the large plates... It was definitely a large plate... With a very small portion. For 16$ I think he expected to be blown away, and he wasn't. I ordered the shaved Brussels sprouts prepared vegan and the cauliflower prepared vegan. Both dishes were listed under small plates... Both were pretty decent portions and priced accordingly. I will say that both dishes were lacking something... However when we combined them together... They complimented each other perfectly. I would definitely go back and order both together, but never separate.
I would definitely go back and give this place another go. I am curious about the watermelon salad and the street corn... So next time... I'll be reviewing that!
