★★★★★ 5.0 Amali Clarke-James · Jan 2026

I am simply blown away by this establishment!! The food was outstanding, the drinks- outstanding, the service and the owner- also outstanding. It was our first time dining here. I found this restaurant on happy cow. We're in town for work nearby and I always struggle to find good vegan options but this place was beyond delicious for both me and my meat eating husband. He had the wings and the scallops. He was full but kept eating because everything was so delicious. He loved the eggnog delight and the peanut butter cup martini (he's not a drinker and hates the taste of alcohol and was ready for more!!) I had the vanilla and the salted caramel moonshines and both completely blew my mind! The vegan options were plentiful and all sounded amazing. I can't wait to try the peanut butter spaghett

Excellent short ribs with spaetzle and mushrooms dish! Great easy-going environment, family-friendly, really good menu (lots of choices plus gluten-free available options). Fenced in parking lot behind the restaurant, off of Cherry Street.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Mike Knoblauch · Mar 2026

Went before PBR at Santander. Got there at 5 and barely made the rodeo at 7. Server was rude and needs to retire. Our party member ask for the GF option and a Caesar salad with no croutons. Brought a salad with croutons and claimed she wasn't told, told twice about GF. She also brought a salad no one ordered and told our party member to just eat that one. Had to ask multiple times for water with lemon, eventually we got water minus the lemon. Food is usually good but the flounder fell well short of good. The soft pretzel was good the cheese with it was not. If it was my 1st time it would be my last, because I know they can do better I would give it another chance.

We had a small group on a Tuesday night. The service was great and the food was fantastic. Great place to go in the city. Plenty of off street parking!

from out of town & decided to stop in for a bite. the atmosphere and decor is fantastic! i was greeted promptly by michael and he gave me some recommendations on some food to have. i started with the Caesar salad, you can taste how fresh their croutons are! and for dinner i had a featured dish, chicken pasta with peanut sauce. it was so delicious & a healthy portion so i was able to take some home with me! and after that i had a slice of the chocolate covered pretzel pie. it was divine! everything was amazing for my short visit :) bathrooms were clean, food was yummy & service was fantastic. will definitely stop by again when im back in town!
