We went there last week and it was a great experience. We came in just in time because it wasn’t busy yet. We got the only table by the window and it made it special for our occasion. The drink I had ordered wasn’t available so they suggested another one which was ginger beer and I liked it! It was a refreshing drink. The charcuterie board was delicious too! Everything was amazing. My girl and I had a great time and the waitress gave us a complimentary drink with our dinner. Thank you. We will surely go back again!

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.

Color me impressed. If you follow me than you know I have expectations based on price point and this place didn't disappoint. It actually impressed me!!! Great service, wonderful ambiance, well made cocktails and every plate was exceptionally prepared. Now, my usual disclaimer, if you're not a foodie you might not feel the same. I say this as I was talking to someone and he fully acknowledges he eats for survival and isn't a foodie, but came here for his girlfriend. He felt it was okay and would've preferred his usual pizza spot, but his foodie girlfriend loved it. And no matter how full you are order dessert, it's what the chief was trained in and it show

My wife and I came here for our 30th anniversary and just loved it! We made a next day reservation for the outside patio for 5pm. We had drinks, appetizer, popcorn, main dish, desert, and coffee. The personalized touches were really nice (like the happy anniversary note on our menus.) The food was absolutely amazing! We really enjoyed everything we had. The portions were actually larger than we expected and the quality was top notch. The service was also amazing, attentive but not intrusive. We ended up having the whole patio to ourselves for the entire time. It was pretty windy but they have a fence around the patio and awnings over the tables. I will say that the road noise may be a little loud for some people, but we live next to a freeway so it really didn't bother us. They have music and a water fountain to help drown out some of the road noise. Overall, we were really impressed and will definitely be back! Thank you Vim Team for a wonderful anniversary dinner!
