Been a while since I've reviewed anything on Yelp!
This place is good, even for vegetarians.
If you like dumplings, this guy has got 'em!

Pretty tasty stuff... and a nice layout for a quick bite and run.

I recommend it.

Fun little place.  Local joint.  Nice new waiter started on first day here.  Not a bad place.  Definitely a local joint.

A fun, "cute," faux French place. It does have an authentic sheen of sorts. Maybe it is the service.

Give it 5 stars!
Great music: Marvin Gaye's "What's Goin on?" and Madness' "Our House" along with other great hits.

***** 5 STARS *****

Agree with earlier comments that it is overrated.
Had the lunch special here, and it was tiny, and just okay.
Nothing to write home about, but not offensive.  (Which is good...)

I didn't like this place the first time I tried it, but went not too long ago for the lunch buffet.

In a word, it was excellent.  Wide variety of well made tasty dishes.
I haven't been here for dinner in a while, so can't comment on that.

Service staff could be better.  I don't understand why they aren't a little more pleasant.

I know vegetarian restaurants.  This place has got some damn tasty stuff.  Some of it is fried, and TASTY. Love this place and wish it was easier for me to get to.  Note, the food isn't "high end" vegetarian, but stuff like seitan sandwiches, various "mock meats" and stuff like that.  I happen to enjoy this stuff.

The only negative is that it is a bit on the overpriced side.  If it was in line, I'd definitely be coming here more often.

The service is great (how mean can they be?? I mean, it's a vegetarian restaurant, y'know?), and the decor is relaxing and stress-relieving.

All in all, I like it.

A chill, relaxed martini bar with respectable food (mostly fried fare, but better than the average bar).  Nice to have in the area, and like the long, lounge layout.  Service is good and friendly.
Nothing crazy, and probably not a place that will stand out, but a good, comfortable standby of a place.

I come here once or twice a month to meet up with people, while drinking a Duvel or Chimay.  It's nice and pleasant.  And not overpriced.
