| - If I have to sum up the restaurant in one sentence, it is a slightly overpriced place that serves delicious comfort-food style vegan dishes, and A LOT of them.
The menu is HUGE. However, if you dive into it, you'll find familiarity in each item, and it becomes less daunting. Imagine a PT's (or a Gold Sierra's) menu, and substitute the protein and cheese in those sandwiches, burgers, and appetizers with vegan meat and vegan cheese.
We ordered the Queso Dip, mac&cheese, the lobster roll and the buffalo chicken burger. It was amazing to think that none of these dishes were made from animal protein. The seasoning and creative usage of different types of veggies alone brought out layers of flavors. The reason for 1 less star was 1) the price. I know eating Vegan is a little more expensive, but everything can be about $2-$3 less on the menu, and will keep me on the hook to go back on a weekly basis; 2) the fine details. If I were to pay that price, I expected a little bit more refinement in each dish (talking about presentation, garnish, final touches, etc.)
Is this a place to eat super healthy (think Panacea) ? Probably not. But is this the place to satisfy your cravings and convince your meat-eating friends (or yourself) that vegan doesn't mean bland food? Absolutely!
