Description

Beyond the standard plant-based staples, the kitchen turns out a diverse vegan cheese board paired with preserves that convincingly mimic their dairy counterparts. The menu extends to dishes like hen of the woods mushrooms with grits and chicken skewers, alongside a dessert selection featuring a chocolate dome. While the mac and cheese has been noted as a bit mild in flavor, portions are generally generous. To drink, there are well-balanced cocktails ranging from the fruity, tequila-based Tropical Blush to the stronger Smokey Petal. The service is consistently attentive, making the meal feel worth the price.
