"The restaurant as a whole is wonderful, the inside is beautiful and it has a very fun and homey atmosphere while still feeling a little higher end than your basic restaurant, but the real winning ticket here is the food. The chef Matt has such a creative vision that works incredibly well. After trying the roasted carrots, market toast with bruleed pears, everything deviled eggs, gnocchi, and vegan rice pudding with hibiscus soaked peach (admittedly not Matt's recipe but the best vegan rice pudding I've ever had) I left feeling full and very happy about the quality of taste, and the price wasn't bad either. The market toast changes depending on produce available since everything is sourced locally (all farms are listed on the back of the menu) and is made on their delicious fresh sourdough bread. The carrots were perfectly cooked in my opinion and paired wonderfully with the cheese on the plate. The everything deviled egg really got me though, I wasn't expecting it to be so good! Then there's the gnocchi which is made with ricotta instead of the usual potato. This was phenomenal. It was topped with a pea pesto sauce with pistachios and was both light and filling at the same time. I would have had a hard time finishing the portion size if it was the usual potato, but the ricotta gives it a nice whipped texture and feels less heavy in your stomach. The rice pudding was made by a local pastry chef who was credited on the dessert menu because Matt felt his food was so good he just couldn't rightly have customers assuming credit was due to him. The blend of flavors was surprising and delicious. Honestly one of the best vegan desserts I've ever tasted not just vegan rice puddings. The staff was very friendly and the waiter was attentive but not overly so. All in all I will 100% be coming back and recommending it to my friends and family."
