Really tasty food an attentive staff.
We did find venue a little noisy, but I imagine it could be a good spot for a big group of friends.

Great place to get shareable plates. We were a group of 3 mildly hungry ladies who ordered 5 items and left satisfied, but not stuffed. Every plate I've ever had here has been unique and flavorful. How lucky we are to have such a wonderful plant-based restaurant here in the Castro.
Beautiful, creative and delicious! We tried almost every tapas and all three desserts. We loved everything. So fantastic. Can’t wait to go again - and again!
