    Nice, intricate vegetarian food. Carefully thought out menu with lots of different dishes you wouldn't find elsewhere. Upscale place. Small but we managed to get a table without a reservation.

    Modern, vegetable forward vegetarian restaurant. Exceptional service. Casual brunch atmosphere and a beautiful romantic vibe at night. Many vegan dishes, and dishes that can be made vegan. Phenomenal!

    Beloved by vegetarians and meat-eaters alike. You won't pout over the lack of quivering protein on your plate when you have treats like the raw zucchini tagliatelle to enjoy. [Eater 38 Member]

    Brussels sprouts, breaded halloumi, and cabbage dumplings are a must. The cocktails are also on point. Favourite meal in vancouver.

    My go to Saturday. Vegetarian nice, try the harvest, they change it up so it’s different depending on the season. Nice list of reds.

    This is probably the best veggie food I've ever eaten. As a meat eater, one forgets they're not eating meat. You're too busy enjoying the great food to notice.

    Beer battered halloumi is really excellent. We also had a wonderful raw eggplant main plate.

    Thumbs up - more veggie food in the city! Thumbs down - no reservations and a tiny place means waiting on the weekend, no thanks

    Food was good, but worst service ever. Many empty tables, but didn’t give my pregnant friend a table until we all arrived and then kicked us out to sit another party because we were here too long (?!)

    On the website it says that there is no reservation, but as soon I arrived they had a list of 20 people waiting that it wasn't even phisically there. Waiting for 1+hrs is not funny or enjoyable.

    Won't take a reservation for less than 6 people. After waiting over 2 hours in the rain to seat a group of 4 we gave up. Seems they care more about having a line out the front than customer service.
