I went there a few times, trying to give it several chances since I live nearby and it seems like a nice brunch spot. For lunch, my friend got the tempeh sandwich, which was really heavy and mayonaisey, and I had the veggie burger because the last time I'd had it at a brunch, it was delicious. It came up this time on two pieces of bread instead of a bun, which was weird, and no french fries. The seaweed salad and the cheese cake were terrific. Other than that, the food was generally very salty and overpriced, and the restaurant was empty except for one other table. When paying our lunch bill, we had to wait a while for the manager to come up an open the cash register since the our server couldn't give us change herself. When I had been there previously, the food was good, the drinks were good, but everything was slow moving. The place is obviously understaffed, and the other blond waitress/manager(?) kept snapping audibly at our waitress. I ended up going with a friend for dinner a couple nights ago, which was very tasty, although very expensive, but the restaurant was virtually empty on a friday night. I'd go back for a cute brunch (try the tofu scramble or french toast) and delicious desserts, but nothing else.
Pros: Dessert and Brunch Menu, Nice Decor
Cons: Overpriced, Understaffed, Salty Food

Having seen this place get a great deal of publicity recently I thought I'd take some vegetarian friends along to show them the hot new joint in my neighborhood. The decor is certainly well done and the downstairs area flanked by vines makes up for the somewhat formal main floor. Beer options are good, but here's where it started to go wrong. Our waitress (who was fairly aloof the whole time) poured probably 1/4 my beer over the table by upending the bottle straight into my glass. Whilst this was mopped up swiftly, sadly I wasn't offered any recompense. Food wise, the cheese platter starter was well presented with delicious bread, but for $14 for 3 pieces I would like more than just a sliver of the blue cheese please. My companions veggie burgers also looked good, but my free range chicken must have been doing too much exercise, because whilst it was crispy on the outside it was quite chewy on the inside! All in all, given the relatively high prices I expected a better experience all round.
Pros: Plush interior for the neighborhood, vegan options
Cons: Expensive, lacks atmosphere

I am so happy to have found this place! Finally, I really nice restaurant with vegan food. Dinner was delicious, and the sake cocktails were fun. My non-vegan friends were pleased to find non-vegan dishes, but ended up ordering them anyway and loving them. I have yet to try their brunch, but the menu looks great. It was also nice to be in a new neighborhood I don't usually venture into. I'm definitely coming back.
Pros: vegan options, local wines, atmosphere
Cons: none!
