| - I went a couple weeks ago with my friend after we worked out close by, and we were excited that they had such a unique vegan/vegetarian selection. Neither of us are either, but we appreciate it, and incorporate that type of food into our diet often. We sat at the bar and my friend ordered sparkling wine or champagne and I got a nice pinot griogio. I appreciate that they offered a small pour for me to try since I was contemplating that or another item.
For food we ordered 3 items:
The vegetable tamale: which is probably one of the best vegan dishes I have ever had. The blend of flavors just hit so many notes, the sweet yet hearty nature of the black beans, the brightness heat and acidity from the fruit salsa, the sweet rounded flavors of the plantain, the creamy bright flavors of the avocado crema, and the masa that just brought all those flavors together into one big hug.
The beet hummus: this was a vegetarian item the sweetness of the beets was contrasted with creamy goat cheese scattered throughout, and the toested pistachios brought a nice texture and contrast to it.
The orchid role: vegan sushi! nice textures, good cook on the rice, I was not missing the fish, it stood well on its own. It had a really nice marinade of the vegetables inside, and the pomegranate mayo was a great way to round out the flavors and add something dynamic to it. They have two other vegan sushi rolls I can't wait to try.
All the food came out in a timely manner, the service was great, food innovative and fairly priced ( which is a surprise since whole foods is known for high price items). They have a happy hour as well that has some fun things I would love to try. Even though it wasn't happy hour when we went we did qualify for a drink special. Since we both got a drink it made it 5 each which saved my friend 3 dollars since her drink was normally 8 for the glass. I will be back
