Five stars for a vegan place, coming from a used-to-be carnivore, is a big deal. My mum (who forced me to eat vegetables for 18 years of my life) is proud.
Was going out for brunch with a vegetarian friend and did not want to go to Fresh, so I picked this place after hearing so many good things about it. I was skeptical at the beginning, as I do not really like vegetarian meals (I need my meat).
We got there at 1pm on a Saturday, the place was packed, it is a very small place. Waiter was nice and friendly. He kept on ensuring us he was trying his best to accommodate us. After we got seated finally, he asked and found out it was our first time, and was very helpful with his suggestions/recommendations.
I got the soup and salad combo. It was really good. I can survive eating meatless meals, but I usually would not go for it. Having eaten a vegan meal a few days before, I was not at all excited for the food. To my surprise, I actually like the food and (for the first time in my life) enjoyed eating without my meat.
We decided to try the ice cream after knowing that it is dairy-free and gluten-free. I have never tried non-dairy based ice creams. The pistachio ice cream stood out for me.
Overall, it is just a very enjoyable experience. Food, service, price, and ambiance are all on the higher end of the restaurant spectrum.
PS. The waiter/waitress refills your glass with water every 2 minutes.
