Quick service, decent drink selection, & lively atmosphere. Great spot for an afterwork, hangout with friends or even a date. It can get crowded sometimes. Small tables, I wouldn't recommend being more than 4-5 people.

Lieu sympathique pour prendre un verre, mais je le déconseille pour manger. Nous étions un groupe de 8 & étions tous déçu de nos plats, on dirait qu'il manquait d'assaisonnement. Il serait bien que les recettes soient modifiées. Sinon les prix sont très raisonnables.

Limited menu options, service wasn't great. Ambiance was meh & hot. The guy was serving the whole place & seemed grumpy. Kind of gave attitude when answering questions on the menu. Portions are small & quality is very mid. I would choose elsewhere no pun intended.

The chicken tikka masala & yellow rice were the highlight of my night after the Seahawks game. I am definitely the most interesting thing you will find here tonight, so if you are a guy who can keep up, you know how to reach out & say hello.

Une belle adresse avec une atmosphère très sympa.
On s'y sent tout de suite à l'aise grâce à une ambiance détendue & un accueil chaleureux. Le service est efficace & très agréable, ce qui participe grandement à passer une bonne soirée.
?Dans l'ensemble, la cuisine est plutôt bonne & bien maîtrisée.

Si je devais faire une petite remarque constructive, les mac & cheese mériteraient d'être un peu revisités, peut-être avec une touche plus originale ou une cuisson différente pour passer au niveau supérieur. En dehors de cela, le reste des plats que nous avons goûtés était vraiment satisfaisant.
?Un excellent spot pour sortir, boire un verre & bien manger. Je recommande & je reviendrai avec plaisir pour découvrir le reste de la carte !

My partner & I LOVE this place. We come here quite often, & genuinely some of the best vegetarian food in this cities we have both tried. Now, we are fake vegetarians, meaning we will order meat sometimes but steer away from it simply because we don't like it. But every time we eat here, we will choose to order the Veggie sliders because they are almost better than the Bison sliders. The in-house carrot cake is divine, & the beer selection is somewhat limited but there is something for everyone.
Yes, the service takes a while sometimes, but we personally don't mind. When we go out to eat, we don't want to immediately eat & leave within 45 minutes. I like taking the time to sit down & relax at my restaurant of choice, & enjoy good conversation or play cards while sipping the drink I ordered! The service here absolutely lends itself to this. I am SUCH a big fan of this place, please please PLEASE don't pass it up!
