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.

Excerpts

Whew my first dining experience in Arizona did not disappoint. My boyfriend and I came out for Valentine’s Day and since it was my first time ever in Arizona, I was really excited to try the food. Safe to say it lived up to the hype. I ordered the Wise Decision to start and it was so good, super refreshing and easy to drink. We got the milk bread, tuna pineapple ceviche, and the Pibil dumplings and honestly everything hit. The milk bread was warm and soft with that perfect buttery pull. The ceviche was fresh and bright with sweet pineapple that made the tuna pop. The dumplings were flavorful and savory with just the right amount of spice. I also had to try the melted cast iron brie and wow. It came out hot and creamy with fruit and pecans and every bite was sweet, salty, and rich in the best way. My boyfriend ordered the white oak grilled chicken skewers and those were easily a ten out of ten. Juicy, smoky, and full of flavor. We didn’t stay for mains because we had other reservations, but after that lineup we already know we’re coming back for the full experience. Our waitress Amber was super sweet and attentive which made it even better. Coming from Miami, I have high expectations when it comes to food, and this definitely delivered. I’ll be back for sure.

Such. A. Vibe! Aesthetics are through the roof and so is the service. Taylor did a great job taking care of us, giving recommendations, and answering any questions we had. I thoroughly enjoyed being on the patio right on Mill & University. The food was so good too! It is a bit pricey for portions, but the quality is done nicely. Highly recommend the Pibil Dumplings and the Croquettes! The chicken skewers are also very fresh and tender! They do complementary valet at the parking garage near/behind the AMC!
