We came for lunch and were disappointed to see so few vegetarian options. My lunch companion and I ordered the southwest salad without the chicken or shrimp options, mine sans guacamole due to avocado allergy. It took nearly an hour to be served. The diners next to us ordered after us, received their cooked meal, ate, paid and left before our plates arrived. According to the waitress they accidentally added Guac to mine so they had to remake it, thus the delay. Photo of the very complicated salad attached. Also no discount for leaving off the meat options. Definitely won’t be returning.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

The food was good, but the menu was limited. There were no chef's specials the night that my friends and I were there. Cheesecake was the highlight of the night. Drinks were really good. Had an issue with the reservation. My friend asked for a specific table, but when we arrived, we were told that someone else had requested the table. We ended up sitting somewhere else, and no one ever sat at the table we requested for the entire night. Overall, it was ok.

This little gem is tucked in off the main road but so worth the trip. The place is beautiful, the staff is nice, and the food delicious. A little on the pricey side but not ridiculous by any means. I had the Indian Butter Chicken and it was tender and flavorful. The rice was perfectly cooked and the table bread was amazing. My wife had the Gnocchi and the cream sauce was perfect. We enjoyed ourselves. Not sure if I should recommend reservations as we were asked if we had one but we were sat with no wait. It may be a good idea to have one during busy dinner hours.
