Vegan & Vegetarian FAQs

Questions we get asked

Is the vegan food actually vegan?
The menu separates vegan items (no dairy) from the vegetarian spinach enchiladas, which are in cream sauce. Servers know the difference — ask and they answer straight.
Are there vegan drinks?
The bar list includes virgin daiquiris and a set of house mocktails ($9) alongside horchata and natural fruit refrescos.
Can vegans and steak eaters share a table happily?
Their own pitch is exactly that — vegetarian, vegan or steak lover at one table. It's the rare menu where both orders are the kitchen's strength.

We stumbled in on a Monday and there was good food and music! Vegan options are great, ceviche was a hit and Janet was the kindest server! Will be back!

Great as always! Quiet when there’s no live music, but the live music is always good. It’s a matter of what you’re in the mood for!
