So happy it's here!
This place reminds me of the Chicago Diner, which is impressive for li'l ole Madison. The menu offers plenty of hearty vegetarian and vegan options, made with real food rather than fake meat,
I had the night's special, shepherd's pie. The gravy was great - very meat-like, and it featured plenty of tasty, healthy kidney beans. My friend had the beans and rice dish with steamed kale and miso sauce. She said it was the perfect dinner after our indulgent yet unsatisfying brunch at Graze earlier in the day. I wanted to try it, but was afraid I'd have to share some of my meal....
The portion sizes were perfect. I didn't leave the place feeling like I needed to purge, yet was a happy camper for the rest of the night.
I also had a great spicy Bloody Mary. It's nice not having to tell the server to keep the beef stick out of my booze in this town.
I look forward to returning and recommend this place to anyone willing to try something new.
