Jacqueline Murphy: KALE SALAD, MINESTRONE SOUP, AND TORTELLINI AMAZING!!!! BLUEBERRY SORBET SUPERB. MET TAL THE CHEF-SO PERSONABLE AND TALENTED.
Eater: The tortelloni here is all plant-based, which means no egg. Still satisfying for diners looking for a delicious vegan pasta. Filled with almond cheese and laced with oven-dried tomatoes. Read more.
Gianni Love: Another gourmet vegan restaurant/bar w/ all of the pretentiousness of LA. The food was not impressive at all, especially for all the hype this chef gets. And extra emphasis on "gourmet." ;-)
