    Order and pick up. Don’t stay: we sat and ordered then waited for a long time. When we asked where the food was, we were told there had been a lot of pickup orders. Service was inattentive anyway.

    Not just vegetarian, this restaurant is entirely vegan. Surprise! You would never know that the cheese on the fab Tuscan Seitan Parmesan Sandwich is not dairy cheese, or that the seitan is not meat.
