The food is excellent and this is coming from a non vegetarian. It has become one of my favorite restaurants in Montecito. We ordered the Herb roasted sweet potatoes, Artichoke crab cakes , Roasted garlic hummus, Braised mushroom ravioli, and Pear & Gorgonzola flat bread....Read More

$$$ but worth every penny. It’s hard to find a plant based restaurant where every dish has a unique profile and exquisite flavors. Our wait staff was very attentive. Food served quickly. Nice wine and cocktails menu to boot. Even dessert did not disappoint.

Very tasty. The portions are pretty big. The artichoke "crab" cakes were delicious. The mushroom tostada was good too. Brussel Sprouts were a bit too sweet for my liking. Nice outdoor patio dining.

Beautiful outdoor setting. Lots of small lanterns hanging from the trees to create a romantic atmosphere. The food was amazing. We shared the brussels app, the spinach and artichoke flatbread, and mushroom ravioli. All were phenomenal! Attentive, friendly waitstaff.

Clearly one of the best vegan restaurants. The food, service, ambience everything is A++ It is pricey but worth it. Most of the things on the menu are recommended. Only scope of improvement is drinks. The cocktails were too strong and less flavourful.

Warm atmosphere, DELICIOUS food, and lovely service. The waitress made great suggestions that we LOVED. Must try: 🌟Pear flatbread 🌟Mushroom tostada... Babyyyyy. Delish. 🌟Jackfruit tacos. The staff in general was very kind and personable, including the host and bus boys. I will definitely visit again!

High end vegan food near the beach. Food portions were large, quality was good. It definitely feels a bit “fancy” so if that isn’t your vibe this might not be the spot for you, but the food is delicious.
