Staff were friendly, food comes out steaming hot, and I loved the quaintness of the setup. (Also I can totally sympathize with the cook's sensitivity to perfume, can't stand synthetic smells either Its probably not the best vegetarianism food I've ever had (that would be my own, jk but the chef can definitely cook vegetables and potatoes *really* well. Perfect level of not too mushy and not undercooked. Almost like master level crazy how good the texture on those potatoes were... (TELL ME YOUR SECRETS!!!1! Into the specific dishes: The miso was simple and not super flavorful. Potentially slightly under salted for summer where people are going to be loosing salt through sweat, but understandable . It warmed me up in the possibly too chilly restaurant nonetheless : For the vege slider thing, the potatoes were legendary, and the carrots were cooked really well too. Even though I'm not a huge fan of plain carrots, I enjoyed them just fine. The patty was interesting. Definitely homemade as I would describe it more as a nut patty than something trying to actually replicate meat... good but could use some more umami. The gravy was the best part though and brought the whole dish together (could have used a tad more flavor there as well Pasta dish was alright, but the mushrooms were a little juicy for my taste. I expected them to be watery but they had more flavor than I was expecting so good job on that. Cakes were good (presentation amazing but I forgot that I *really* don't have a sweet tooth. The other person I was with seemed to enjoy them very much however. Overall 5/5 will likely come again, although its probably a little above my preferred price point given the portion sizes.
