I had a pick up order! How, the restaurant is a vibe. Very nice ambiance. The tofu plate was delicious. The braised greens and grains were the star for me.

Initial Q offers a vibrant atmosphere with stylish decor and commendable customer service; however, experiences vary widely. Diners rave about the quality of the vegan options and unique starters, while others express disappointment in food temperature, portion sizes, and service attentiveness. Notably, some patrons enjoyed flavorful dishes, like the BBQ platter and crispy Brussels sprouts, while others found their meals lacking. Special occasions fell short of expectations, leaving a lingering sense of dissatisfaction. Despite these inconsistencies, many guests appreciate the warm staff and enjoyable drinks, making this restaurant a potential choice, albeit with cautious optimism.
