I used to adore this restaurant. I'm not vegan, but I eat plant-based about 75% of the time, although usually I have to do it from home because I am, unfortunately, in a hate-hate relationship with gluten. This place though? This place had plant based AND gluten free options. Lots of them!
The vegan spinach artichoke dip? Devine. The vegan tacos? Superb! Wash it all down with a gluten free kombucha? Yes. Yes a thousand times!
...then I went last weekend. Brought the whole family. Three generations were at that table, ready to eat our favorites. Out of the eight of us, four needed gluten free food. We of course knew about the omnivore changes, but that was okay, because no one is vegan, and we were told that all menu items would still have plant-based choices. Great! The problem was that the menu now only had two gluten free items... Soup and salad.
Don't get me wrong, soup and salad is fine, but not when you're expecting spinach artichoke dip and tacos! We asked about it, and our waitress informed us that the restaurant doesn't even have a dedicated gluten free fryer anymore, so even the fries are no longer safe, meaning not even my kids had something to munch on anymore.
We left and won't be returning, which is a damn shame, because this place had a vibe and the food to match. Now it's just like every other restaurant.
Wishing the business well on its transition, but very sad to no longer be part of the crowd.
