About

This small, reservation-recommended bistro serves seasonal vegan American dishes, with oyster mushroom plates, ravioli, and house-made vegan cheeses among the recurring favorites. The intimate dining room suits special occasions, while brunch, take-home prepared meals, and a rotating menu give regulars reasons to return; some diners report a long wait for entrees.
