                                  Went to eat with my wife for her birthday for the first time and had a wonderful experience. The food was phenomenal, as was the service. The vibe was great, and it made for the perfect night out for dinner. I definitely rate this place 10/10 for anyone looking for an all plant based restaurant.

                                  We shared dishes……allowed us to sample a good selection of menu items. The best were the risotto, dumplings and broccoli…..spectacular. Service was friendly and attentive.Not inexpensive, but good value.cocktails were creative. All around, a superb choice for vegan food in Ottawa!

                                  From our group half the dishes were good the others were lacking. Same with the drinks. It was overall good - but I'm not sure I would go back unless there were changes to the menu
