| - I went here for dinner on a Thursday night with two friends. We showed up right at 5:30pm and were able to get a table without waiting. The decor is very fun, the music was very loud and didn't fit the retro decor. It was hard to hold a conversation at a regular level.
To be honest, I wasn't overly excited about the menu to begin with. I love going to vegan restaurants where I can eat anything on the menu, but this one wasn't very exciting.
I ordered the steak, as I've had delicious, melt in your mouth seitan steaks before. But this one was not one of them. When my plate came out, I was already disappointed. The 'steak' looked like the rubber sole of a shoe. And it didn't taste any better. It was very dense, chewy, rubbery and the only flavour it had was salt (and too much salt). The garlic butter was mostly just minced garlic, no butter or creaminess to it. The mashed potatoes and veggies were fine, but the whole plate was not worth its $20 price tag.
One friend ordered the tempeh and chips. Unfortunately, she was not impressed with her food either. The fries weren't exciting and kind of mushy. I tasted the tempeh fish, and it had barely any flavour, just the slightest bit of lemon but really it was like eating nothing. Again, so disappointing.
My other friend ordered the Alfredo pasta. She enjoyed it and it looked fine, but ultimately it was pasta with mushrooms and a creamy sauce. I didn't taste it so I can't comment.
For dessert I ordered the chocolate ice cream sundae. It was very tiny and the ice cream was not creamy at all. In fact, the entire sundae was tasteless. The only good part were the three raspberries on top. Don't bother wasting $9 on this dessert. Just stop off at the grocery store on your way home and pick up a delicious pint of creamy coconut or cashew ice cream for $7 on your way home instead.
The staff was fine, the restaurant was clean. But the food was tasteless and not worth the money. I might give this place a try for brunch, but I won't be rushing back for dinner at all. Although, my plan was to order the cinnamon bun pancakes for dinner, but I changed that when I saw they used Yoso cream cheese. Again, there are better options. And I would be more impressed with a homemade cream cheese. However, with my rubber sole shoe steak, maybe I should have gone with pancakes.
Vegans and those who love them, there are much better places in the city to spend your hard earned money on delicious food, and this isn't one of them. Too bad.
