| - I love that this place has so many vegan and vegetarian options. Some worked better than others. The vegan mac and cheese is some of the best I've ever had. The nut cheese is beautifully creamy, and crisps nicely around the edges of the small pan it's served in. I would order this again and again.
However, the mushroom bread pudding was essentially a big bowl of humongous bread cubes, with about three big mushrooms mixed in. I was hoping for a smaller, but richer dish that packed a punch with each bite. With this I just tasted bread and more bread, and the occasional huckleberry, which added some confusing sweetness. My mom said the maple syrup on her trout made it much too sweet.
The service was great; our waiter answered every question right away, and made an excellent recommendation for beer. But on the down side, interior looks like an old, dark, depressing steakhouse. The location -- inside one of the ugliest office buildings in Lakewood -- doesn't help either. I so want to move this place to a freestanding location and give it a more contemporary interior design to match the ambitious, if not always successful, food it's serving.
