The dressing on the salad was super yummy. And the garlic bread was soft and tasty. Very satisfied with this meal and hopeto return.

The food is blasé, bland, meh. I got the Nuclear Bluff sandwich. Seems to be soy curls cooked in tomato sauce. Thesandwich doesn't hold together well and is messy to eat. They cheese helped the soy curls stay put. The bread was a littlestale. It tasted okay. It better with hot sauce. The salad was wilted and already going bad, orange at the edges. The tomatoslices were fresh however. I had asked for vegan cheese instead of regular cheese which they accommodated. But they forgot toswitch out the vinaigrette dressing which has honey. Not a huge loss, as it dissuaded me from eating rotting salad. Next timeI'm looking for places to eat in the area, I hope I remember this.

The earthy decor and additional exercise we got walking up the hill from the beach were the only plus sides to this whole experience. Where do I begin? To start off, the menu is in complete disarray withdifferent cuisines, sizes, and options making it difficult to order. The prices are downright ridiculous for what is basicallyglorified lunch food (served on the same cheap plastic trays and all! . Furthermore, tips are expected despite having to orderat the counter, pick up food from the counter, and bus our own tables. Once the food arrived we became well aware of ourmistake in coming here. Portions sizes are vast, I?ll give them that, but the food was bland and tasteless. The spaghetti lookedand tasted like plain pasta mixed with canned pasta sauce and the bluff sandwich left much to be desired in terms of flavor. Themajority of the food on the tray were cheap sides like a very plain and basic salad and tortilla chips. I hate to leavenegative reviews for places that provide vegan options but was finding myself feeling sorry for every clueless customer walkingthrough the front doors.

I really wanted to like this place for its small-town vibe and earthy, vegan offerings. The food was just...not worth it. A $25 bowl of samurai soup was all but tasteless miso broth with some tofu and a few veggies. Theravioli, served with a side salad and garlic bread tasted like airplane food. Right down to the hothouse tomatoes on the salad. Reading the glowing reviews that mention high quality ingredients is a total trip. Completely at odds with my family 'smeal. I HATE writing bad reviews of local restaurants (bad karma, you know)? But I feel a bit cheated paying $60 for a mealfor two with a single 6oz. glass of wine. Sour grapes? Maybe. So I will say that the staff were warm and the wine was goodand cold.

Informal setting with quick service. Very happy to see it survived through the pandemic. Realityis, seeing steep increase in prices.
