Amazing experience. Chef is super friendly as well. For the high price point, I thought quality of the egg and meat should be better, especially since that’s only protein provided throughout the evening. Otherwise, amazing experience and food. Mostly vegetables.

This intimate family establishment consistently impresses with its passion for plant-based cuisine. Reviewers rave about the chef's friendly demeanor and the exceptional quality of the vegetable-centric dishes. Standout experiences include the 6-course menus, which cater to various dietary preferences, including vegan options. The chef's attention to detail and commitment to showcasing the best flavors of the vegetables shine through in every preparation.
While the establishment's small size and personal setting contribute to its charm, it also means that reservations and wait times can be unpredictable. Reviewers note that the 3-person team works diligently to accommodate guests, but it's essential to plan ahead to ensure a smooth experience. Wine pairings are also highly recommended, with some reviewers citing them as the best they've had.

Very intimate, family establishment. The chef clearly has a passion for what he does. Sous chef wasn't there when I went but the 3 person team still managed to plate what was effectively 3 different 6 course menus (vegetarian, meat supplements, and there were some vegans as well). I didn't get any of the meats, and I don't regret it. Meat dishes looked fine but this place is about the veggies. I did get the cheese though, which was delicious. Wife got the wine pairing, which she liked. It ended up being $460 for the two of us. For that price it's not a great value but it was a fun experience and the food was delicious. Almost all of the courses had an interesting, dynamic flavor profile, cool textures, and creative ingredients. Plating was simple but well done. I don't think I'll be back any time soon but I'm glad I went.

Top 3 vegetarian experiences in my life. Very personal setting with just a counter and about 5 guests our night. Wine pairings were also the best we’ve had. Preparations brought out the best taste of the vegetables. There were non vegetarian options as well.
