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

Amazing food and service as always! My mom and I went for lunch and Mackenzie was our servicer! She was knowledgeable and patient with us. Checked back just the right amount! The food was delicious as always! Highly recommend the Mac and cheese and the elote tots!! The High tea cocktail was delicious as well!

I don't usually leave low reviews but for the price I think people should be leary. We met some friends at this spot, we'd never been before. We did have a reservation which of you decide to try this place out, I would definitely make a reservation. We had one of the appetizer boards and while it was pretty good there was a slight mishap which we all found a little funny and definitely gave the restaurant some grace as the person working that line was new and this could have happened to anyone. Instead of chunks of white cheddar we got chunks of butter, total shock when you shove a chunk in your mouth and it is not what you expected. The manager wanted to make it right but we were honestly laughing and just wanted to warn them that maybe not keep the two items close together or label them. I ordered the chicken and waffles and my husband ordered a basic ham and sausage omelet. The food was so cold, like ice cold and we had been waiting a while for it so we didn't say anything plus we were with friends and didn't want to cause a stir or anything. The chicken was bland at best and the waffle was flavorless. The omelet also ice cold was just not good, the potatoes were plentiful with the omelet but lacked in flavor. We were highly disappointed, for the price. It might have been an off day which absolutely happens. If you decide to stop in I hope your experience is much better than ours was.

Off the bat, the atmosphere is pretty cute but it stays busy so be sure to make a reservation. We started with the pint of fries which was delicious. For entrees, we had the summit burger and the grilled cheese and tomato soup. The entrees were ok; the bun on the burger was a little big and it came with lettuce even when we requested it not to (allergy).The grilled cheese was a flavor overload definitely embodying the saying that sometimes less is more. The cheese and soup were both so rich and potent I could hardly eat more than a few bites. Overall, it wasn’t a favorite dining experience and was expensive.
