So, this place gets 5 stars because they're OG vegan, they have a clean beautifully maintained place, kind diverse staff and a very labor intensive menu (from a culinary standpoint) most of their items are made in house, and they have a great variety and selection of foods to choose from. They serve beer, wine and carry champagne, the drinks and food are very reasonably priced considering portion size and cost of food + labor time.
I wanted to taste the best of what they had to offer so I let our server guide us, he was a great sport! I ordered the Cesar salad, lasagna, a pizza with no cheese (wanted to taste the sauce) pepperoni, red pepper and mushrooms, crabcakes & two grapefruit mimosas.
So, for whatever it's worth, here are my positive opinions.
Cesar salad: The dressing SLAPPED. It was Parmesan heavy, creamy, and not too oily. The croutons were perfectly crunchy and obviously made in house from the same bread they serve with their lasagna, which is dense and holds oil & flavor perfectly. The romaine was very fresh, washed thoroughly, cut in to perfect sized leaves and crunchy.
Pizza: the sauce was delicately sweet & the portion of sauce was very generous (ordered extra sauce). Mushrooms were perfectly cooked and they did have crushed red pepper on hand for a flavor booster.
Lasagne: Noodles were cooked literally to perfection, an Italian would have cried. The presentation was perfect, it had been baked and was piping hot, cheese was bubbly and I love that they serve it in the dish they finish it in so the residual heat keeps it warm. The sauce, was delicious and I'm pretty sure if you put it in a funnel I would drink it.
Crab cake meal: Basmati rice was steamed perfectly and came out hot and smelled amazing. The side of veggies had a good amount of broccoli, squash & zucchini mixed in, they're my favorite so that was awesome. The sauce comes served on the side which is very courteous & the crab cakes had a nice crust on them.
Overall, this was a well prepared meal at a fair price. I made the mistake of not getting dessert, so I think I may head back that way because the cookies in that case are haunting me & after reading other reviews of them I'm certain. I made a mistake by passing on them.
