I am admittedly a pretty big fan of meat but I went to Fern last night to be a little more accommodating to a vegan than having her eat a side salad somewhere while I stormed through a steak.
We ordered cocktails, I had the Garden & Gun and she the Fellini. Both cocktails were a little sweeter and less complex than I would like (by comparison we went to Soul afterwards where Kenan and Andy wrecked our faces with some delicious whiskey based drinks).
She ordered the Ramen, which came out more like a giant bowl of soup than she was expecting. I had the Southern-Style Succotash, the Tempeh Steak in this dish was extremely tasty.
The service was great, and we probably should have quizzed out waiter more since I felt like I was ordering dinner on the moon. All in all, Fern is probably pretty alright if you're sick of eating the one vegan/veggie item other restaurants have.
