    It’s rare to find a place that is just consistently good without trying too hard. This isn't fine dining or a "hidden gem"—it’s just a solid, reliable spot where they clearly know what they’re doing. The plant-based selection is surprisingly broad and well-executed, which is a huge plus. It’s also a great place to hang out with meat-eating friends because the menu has enough variety to keep everyone happy without any fuss. I’m giving it 5 stars because it delivers exactly what it offers: good food, a comfortable atmosphere, and zero pretension. It’s a great go-to when you just want a quick meal that you know will be handled right.

    I been here few times and the experiences wasn't great. Last Friday (1/30/26) while at Garmers Market, one of my friends and his lady wanted stop there late night for some food. Everything was fine until it my friend wanted to order few shots and was told by our server that our table was cut off (No beside my friwnd ordering a Lemon Drop ordered any drinks). I asked the server who was we cut off and was first told the owner cut us off from alcohol due to our table behavior, which nothing was inappropriate. Then told us the whole liability thing, not knowing that my friend and his lady caught a Lyft for that reason and I wasn't even drinking (he personally served me Pepsi the entire time). Observing the bar noticing that there was more commotion at the bar itself and then realizing we the only black group in the establishment I drew my conclusion. We paid our bill and immediately left. This is the 3rd time this has happen to me and my wife at this bar and that just a sign that maybe we not welcomed there. Any black group going in there be ready to get sterotyped based off assumption that you loud you must be drunk. I will never come back in here and sure would not recommend this establishment yo anyone of color.

    Food is your standard Sysco stuff you can get anywhere. Nothing special. Call before you go cause they closed the kitchen 2 hours before they closed the kitchen early. Seems like whenever they want.
