I was so excited to try Mythology and had previously attempted to come here with a group of friends on a Saturday night to be met with an impossibly long wait. I arrived at 6:30 this Saturday and since we were just two we sat at the bar.
The concept of the restaurant, as suggested by the name, is vegan diner comfort food. I appreciated the creativity of the menu choices (and names) and the effort to encourage meat eaters to try vegan restaurants. We shared the quesadillas to start. It wasn't really what I was expected - I was expecting gooey vegan cheese and veggies but it was all mushed beans. The lime crema on the side was amazing. For mains, we got the mac and cheese and the reuben. As someone who can't have dairy (and does eat some meat), I look forward to vegan restaurants so I can eat items that would normally be covered in cheese. The mac and cheese also didn't do it for me. It wasn't creamy and didn't taste cheesy. I have tried vegan mac all over the city so this less than stellar review isn't because my expectations are too high or that I am comparing it to the real thing (since I can't eat that anyways!). I liked the bread crumbs on top and that it came in a cast iron skillet but I had to send it back because despite the dish feeling hot on the outside, the middle was cold. They were really apologetic and offered to bring me out another app in the interim which I turned down because I wasn't that hungry but really appreciated the gesture. The reuben was great - totally tasted like the real thing (although it's been 10+ years since I have had red meat but if memory serves me correctly). The spices and texture were right on point.
For dessert, I had a scoop of almond bark ice cream since I can never say no to dairy-like dessert at a vegan restaurant. All in all, I wouldn't come back but definitely worth trying and a twist from the stereotypical "healthy" vegan choices out there.
