We were definitely a little skeptical going in - none of us are vegans - and we were a little surprised to find that the menu items were named things like "I am greatful, or I am warm hearted." But, quite a few things on the menu looked good and I think we were all pleasantly surprised!
Hannah ordered us a hummus appetizer, that had homemade crackers made out of flax seeds, carrot...and I'm sure lots of other healthy stuff. Personally, I liked the crackers but some other parties didn't quite enjoy them as much :)
For my entree I ordered one of their specials - spaghetti squash with flax seed pesto, polenta cakes (i think), cashew cheese, with fresh herbs and veggies. It was really good! Good flavor and definitely warm and hearty. I was surprised how filling it was since I was expecting to leave still hungry.

Bottom line - definitely worth a try! I would go back to try some of their other menu items. They have breakfast, as well as all kinds of juices and vegan milkshakes. Lots of good veggies + unique nutritious ingredients here!
These guys do great stuff. I too was skeptical my first time there, but was happily surprised. The one thing I would say is that most of what they make you can do at home with a little time and a willingness to experiment. That doesn't mean you should forgo this restaurant. By all means go. But think about bringing a little bit of their thinking into your home. Which reminds me, they love kale.
