| - We frequent Deagans due to their vegan friendly options. Every Wednesday they have vegan dinner specials. Taco Tuesday always includes at least 1 vegan taco selection, which is pretty good. Even if you go on a different night when they don't have any advertised vegan specials, they have always been able to accommodate our request, and the chef will cook up a vegan special to order (usually a gnocchi dish with Brussels sprouts, micro greens, olive oil, etc- very tasty).
Our most recent trip was this past Wednesday for dinner on Vegan night. We anxiously waited for them to post their daily specials on Facebook, and were excited by the variety of that evening's specials. My wife and I started out with the vegan Winter squash bisque (w/ pumpkin, butternut squash, and red curry squash). I was not a big fan. It was too much pumpkin and cinnamon for my liking. I felt like I was eating a holiday Yankee Candle. My wife enjoyed it more than I did. For our entrees, we ordered the Vegan Glass Noodle Bowl (w/ soba noodles, rice noodles, killbuck valley mushrooms, seitan, and hot & sour broth) and Vegan Crispy Unicorn Tacos (w/ seitan, local radish slaw, and sweet chilie gastrique). Both were very good. The noodle bowl was a nice take on a ramen dish, and the tacos (2 per entree) were very good. I would have enjoyed some rice or beans as a side with the tacos, which were just served on a plate by themselves for $9. We finished the dinner with an AMAZING Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie. Tasted just as good, or better than any traditional pie.
Overall, another good dinner. The service was good as usual. This is one of the more well rounded restaurants/gastropubs in Cleveland that offers great choices for all types of food lovers, including vegans. We will be back, and hope they keep experimenting and expanding their vegan specials. Hopefully they will turn some into permanent fixtures on the daily menu.
