text: Not going to lie I do not dream about dining in vegonly restaurants often or ever but with a lunch date with my vegetarian sister on the books I figured it was a good enough reason to try the place I have to say I was very impressednnWe chose to sit outside and it was quite nice The handful of iron chairs and woodtop tables scattered on wooden flooring made you forget you were yards from central avenue until a train would come through Lots of plant life and they had a few heaters set up We opted for the cucumber infused water there were other bottled options and started on the menu We were give one which was simply drinks the front half is freshly made juices and juice blends all we opted for a lemonadeagave concoction the back is beers and wines nnThe food menu is the perfect length just enough small plates sandwiches salads and entrees with lots of daily changes bruschetta soup of the day buddha bowl cheese selections They also have the items which are vegan or can be made vegan marked with little ferns which I thought was clever We could not pick so we decided to split four of the small plates but the table next to us had the OM burger and it looked amazingnnSquash blossom hush puppies yummm thank you kenny r for the heads up I would not have known it was vegan cheese if it had not said so on the menu So good I did not want to share I enjoyed the onion butter my sister did not luckily these pups stand perfectly well on their ownnnThe Indian Tacos this as a meat lover was hands down my favorite dish If I had not know any better I would have sworn up and down with the complex flavors they brought into the chili that I was eating something heartier than beans and squash Mixed in with the lettuce and tomato and then sandwiched between a layer of the sharp cheddar on top and fried goodness underneath holy crap I am sold nnThe Envious Artichoke is the perfect light dish stuffed with spinach and olives and topped with fried onions we were very happy campers On the other hand the cannelloni added some serious weight to my stomach Granted it is a great fall flavor concoction of goat cheese goodness served over a sweet squash puree but not the greatest choice for our fourth tasting dish nnOur service was top notch water constantly filled staff was very familiar with the menu we were checked on just the right amount of times Even though there is not any meat on your menu Fern I am a fan but seriously get some new pens
