| - Stopped in today for my first visit. I had recently attended a benefit dinner, and won a $25 gift certificate (called "Maiden Money") during the raffle, and was so excited to win it, because this place was on my list of places I wanted to try. I knew by the photos and the reviews that I was in for some good vegan food, but what I didn't realize is that even though this place is labeled as "Heavy Metal," it really wasn't a dark, dirty, screamo metal playing establishment. I was pleasantly surprised that they were actually playing some kind of instrumental, sorta new agey, music when I walked in, which segued into some Ramones, The Smiths, Reggae, and some othe cool tunes (I didn't get a photo, but I noticed one of the Chefs had The Smiths album cover, "Meat is Murder," printed on the back of her kitchen uniform (Thumbs Up for that)). The food was totally incredible, and so delicious. I had the tacos off of the brunch menu, which included a side of seasoned potatoes and kale, and they were fantabulous, and the tacos were great too. For "dessert" I had the "Holy Diver," (coincidentally named after my favorite song by Ronnie James Dio) which is the donut of the day, and today's flavor was lemon/blueberry, and along with my cup of coffee (locally roasted by Zeke's). I had a wonderful brunch, and still had some "Maiden Money" left-over, so I cannot wait to come back again and try some of the other different menu items. This place ROCKS!!!
P.S. I was also glad to see at least one gluten-free item on the menu, and since my wife is gluten-sensitive, I'll be bringing her next time too.
P.P.S. This place has the coolest gender-neutral bathrooms I've ever seen (see photos) and the bathroom w/urinal, also has a changing table for babies, so this place is good for people of all ages, and in fact the table next to me had a tiny lil' one eating some Metal-Vegan food with her parents . . . that's awesome.
