Order and pick up. Don’t stay: we sat and ordered then waited for a long time. When we asked where the food was, we were told there had been a lot of pickup orders. Service was inattentive anyway.

Think Vegetarian cooking is boring? Well not anymore. Outstanding!!!! You won't miss the meat.
Alyssa YeagerJune 5, 2010
Not just vegetarian, this restaurant is entirely vegan. Surprise! You would never know that the cheese on the fab Tuscan Seitan Parmesan Sandwich is not dairy cheese, or that the seitan is not meat.
Lenny LesserOctober 5, 2014
Try the specials.
