Restaurant 198

Food is good and wait staff is nice. Unfortunately, I assume management allows a group of parents to come in with their kids who yell, throw things and make it unpleasant to be there. Both times we’ve seen them there the parents sit across the room from their children and never correct their behavior. The first time 2 tables of diners asked to be moved because the kids were throwing toys. It’s not an enjoyable experience and the waitresses have told me it annoys them as well but they can’t do anything.

Love their plant-based menu options. Not many restaurants include them. Nights they have live music always fun. Staff super friendly.

Vegetarian options: Impossible burger is great. So are the fried pickles.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, ramps available. Handicapped stall in bathroom.

Great for vegan/vegetarian eating out! There's an entire page of vegan dishes on the menu and beef substitute is available in many other dishes as well.

I've been here twice, once for a private party and once on a date. Both times the food was excellent. Black bean and potato vegan tacos are really good (if a little minimalist); lemon flan is amazing; my date had loaded nachos with impossible beef and said they were really good, not at all soggy like others he's had recently.

On my most recent visit I ordered the zesty avocado fries and the impossible bacon burger. (Full disclosure, I'm vegetarian but not vegan, so I substituted real mayo on the burger and cilantro ranch for dipping sauce for the avocado fries.) The avocado fries were interesting. I'm not sure what I expected, but I've never eaten anything like it. I don't know if I'd order them again but they weren't bad. They're served in a cone and our order came with only four–they're very thick cut. Outside is crunchy but inside is really soft (not unpleasantly so, just an interesting contrast). I remembered to take a picture when there was only one left). The side salad that came with the burger was more substantial than I expected; on a bed of mixed greens (not iceberg lettuce!) were sliced grape tomatoes, cheese, thinly sliced onions, and croutons. The burger itself was pretty hearty and was served with crisp lettuce and perfectly ripe sliced tomatoes on a nice Kaiser roll. It looked amazing and I was hungry enough that I forgot to take any pictures.

Service was good and servers were attentive. I asked for room temperature water and actually got it; that shouldn't be a big deal, but you'd be amazed at how often I emphasize the 'room temperature' part and the server brings me cold water that just has the ice removed.

The whole dessert menu looks amazing and I plan to come back often enough that I can try one of everything.

This is my third or 4th visit, but the first time on a weeknight. The other visits have been for weekend brunch or lunch. The food has always been good whether ordering breakfast or lunch. Tonight they had live music and it was pretty loud. It made it difficult to talk. So that's why I gave the atmosphere three stars. On the weekend. It's been pretty quiet.

The empanadas were fire❤️‍🔥. I bought two, and I brought the plant-based bacon cheeseburger for my mother, took that to her, and went back and got me four more empanadas

Food came out fast. However, we had asked for extra crispy hashbrowns and they were barely browned. The coffee tasted burnt. Had to track our waitress down for refills and the check.

The food, service, and atmosphere were great. Attentive staff and very flavorful food. However, was surprised by the prices. A little pricier than I was expecting. Not sure that I would make the trip there again from Columbia when there are so many options here for the same overall experience.

Clean, great service, with mediocre food, my friend and I got salads. The hamburgers I saw being served looked good. Maybe I'll return to try that.
