Nice restaurant with plenty of vegan/vegetarian options. Food is fresh and (for the most part) healthy. Service was terrific. All in all a very nice choice for vegetarian dishes and wholesome, healthy food.

Delicious food, as always. The manager handled a difficult and delicate situation with a mother who had a constantly screaming child very sensitively and effectively.
