Full bar with creative and well balanced drinks. Broad wine selection. The service is impeccable. Friendly, knowledgeable, skilled, and charming. They know their stuff. Décor is warm and inviting with a clean minimal feel. Finally and most importantly, the food is creative, delicious, vegan, and unique. There are sometimes references to familiar cuisines, but always with a twist or fusion that bring unexpected tastes.

We had a reservation for 6:30pm and noted in our reservation that we needed to head out by 7:30pm for a concert. We sat at the nearly empty bar thinking it would be quicker and immediately ordered our food and drinks. It took about 20 min just to get a draft beer poured. We were there for an hour and a half before we got our entrees, which I had to ask them to change to take out because we were running so late. Meanwhile, the bar filled up and everyone around us got their food before us. I don't know why we had such bad service and it took so long to get our food. Would definitely recommend for the food but not if you have any type of timeline.

Everything from how we were welcomed by the host (Imani), to the wait staff (Jean) to the remarkable food. We sat outside on their patio with our dog...such a wonderful ambiance! We ordered 2 apps, 2 entrees and 2 desserts...and shared everything. The burger was delicious...as were the fries. We also got a curry potato pancake (can't recall the exact name of the dish). ALL OF IT VEGAN!!! Excited to return to try more of their amazing food.

We chose the four-course menu, which I believe is the standard option for weekends. Every dish was outstanding—it’s incredible how creatively they craft vegan meals. The desserts were especially impressive; it was hard to believe they were made without any dairy or eggs. The ambiance was great, the service was excellent, and the food was delicious. I would definitely go back! Price per person: $100+ Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

For $72 (without tax, tips, and random fees), I have higher expectations on every aspect of the dining experience and millennium sadly disappointed me during my most recent visit. Overpriced for the quality and quantity of food. The server wasn't that great. All of this compared to my 2-3 visits 3 years ago. I won't be back. With the amount of money I spent here tonight, I could have had 3 very nice meals elsewhere. The only reason I dined here was because they have plenty of gluten-free, vegan options which was my friend's dietary restriction. Food: 3 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 2 Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $50–100 Recommendation for vegetarians: Highly recommend Vegetarian offerings: Menu is all vegetarian Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free Parking space: Somewhat difficult to find parking Parking options: Free of charge street parking
