Decent overall.

Had higher hopes given the reviews we read, but food was a little bland/dry and lacking a of flavor. Not a bad experience, but probably wouldn’t return if visiting SD again.

Vegan with great ambiance

The food here is hands down delicious. I tried their egg roll burger, patty melt, seitan skewers and beer battered dill slices. I’m excited to return and enjoy more of their menu items.

Pros: Completely vegan menu

One of my favourite vegan spots ever!

I was on vacation and had been recommended to visit here. There were so many spots to hit on my list I didn’t expect to go anywhere twice… but I loved it so much I came back on my last night in San Diego! On the first visit I had the Patty Melt which just blew my expectations away & the s’mores sliders for dessert. I expected these to be warm but they came cold and actually really enjoyed them too! On my second visit I tried the Skewers which were great for sharing & the Egg Roll Burger which I can honestly say was one of the best burgers I’ve ever eaten. The entire vibe of the place is so cool. I can’t wait to visit again and again and again!

Pros: Incredible vegan food, Great atmosphere, Large drinks menu

Cool Aesthetic Place

This place has a really cool vibe and the food is tasty too. It’s not the most allergen friendly place though as nothing is marked.

Pros: Cool vibe , Tasty variety

Cons: Not allergen friendly , A little pricey

Outstanding cocktails and food

Memphis BBQ Jackfruit and S'more Sliders are very good. For a cocktail, I had the summer seasonal, Wyld Stallyns, which was very good also. Great atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating.

GRILLED CHEESE OMG

The sourdough grilled cheese with caramelized onions is one of my favorite grilled cheese sandwiches I’ve ever had, vegan or not. It’s awesome. Nice bartenders and great drinks, beautiful ambience, not as expensive as I was expecting. It says they are open until 10 but they started doing last call for food at 8:45 and it felt pretty rushed and chaotic. Don’t expect to get there late and be able to eat. I will definitely go back.

This place was made for me!

A French Gothic-style bar that plays metalgaze? Yes, please! I love the aesthetic and ambiance of this place, and all the food and drinks are to die for!

I ordered a bunch of things, but my absolute faves are the Fried & Pickled appetiser and the Miracle Cure mocktail. The Fried & Pickled comes with beer battered dill pickles and cauliflower seasoned with spicy Buffalo sauce. It’s a must-have for pickle lovers! 🖤

Such a cool experience!

The wait was pretty long but BOY was it worth it🤩 The environment and open-air concept was sooooo bad-a, the service was great, and the menu structure is brilliant! The portions and prices are small, so my friends and I basically ordered the entire menu and just shared everything. It was the PERFECT place for my 30th birthday dinner! Ohya, the food was really good, too🤣 Like, really good. I promise. Don’t sleep on this spot!

Pros: REALLY cool environment, Delicious drinks, Fun menu!

Cons: Long wait

Nice place

Ordered takeout dinner. Woman on phone was super nice. Tomato bisque was very good. Caesar salad veggies were very fresh. Also had the skewers, which were a little too rich for me but I can see why people like them.

Thursday permanent vacation !!!!

The dead man burger - only available thursdays - is my favorite menu item to date. Disappointed they got rid of the palm heart tacos, but it’s nice there’s new options every time the State changes its COVID rules.

Pros: Dead man burger, Portion , Warm bubbly staff

Cons: Not the biggest fan of their brunch items

out of this world, new favorite restaurant

the best meal I've ever had, and I'm not exaggerating. I had the palm tacos with a palace of certainty cocktail and the snickerdoodle s'mores for dessert. the tacos were flawless - the flavors went together perfectly and nothing was too strong/took over, it all mixed just right. similar to a fish taco in textures and toppings, but better than anything I've ever had in terms of flavor. seriously. great portion size (although it was so good I would be happy eating their food endlessly..) the dessert was the perfect ending to a delicious meal, also great size.

aside from the food, this place has such a great atmosphere and vibe. great experience from start to finish. new favorite restaurant

Underwhelming

The pictures made this place seem a bit better than it was. Atmosphere was great. Service and food was ok. Also their brunch is only serviced until 3pm, so if you’re looking for the crepes or French roast you’ll have to go early.

Pros: Atmosphere

Cons: Expensive, small servings , Brunch menu not available at night

Vegan bar food

To describe the eatery’s decor and style—think Goth vegans with a sense of humor. The menu is 100% vegan. The mocktails and cocktails are delicious. They also offer kombucha. Just remember it is a bar, so while it’s not a dive in the least, the menu, which does change occasionally, usually features finger food, burgers with fresh made potato chips, po’ boys, salads, and tacos (hearts of palm). I loved the po’ boy, and my husband loved their Impossible burger. We’ve also brought family here for weekend brunch, and that was a treat for my taste buds also.

Pros: 100% vegan, Fun themed decor and design, Mocktails
