All of the dishes I've tried here have been tasty. The stuffed acorn squash and tofu udon bowl in dashi were both flavorful and satisfying. I do find it slightly annoying that certain substitutions (like daiya) incur a charge while my tofu dish cost the same as the version that came with clams. The $19 I paid was not entirely unreasonable as it could've served 2 (I couldn't finish it and I had arrived very hungry), but I thought it was still a bit high for a vegetable dish at a casual place. Service was disappointing. My sister and I both work at a vegan restaurant, so we are familiar with the industry. Despite being one of two tables, we were ignored while the staff chatted by the bar and I had to wait 15-20 minutes before a server checked up on us and I could ask for a spoon for my soup. I could've interrupted them at the bar, but that's not my style. I expect more attentive service when dining out during a slow business period. When an Indian family was seated, I heard their server boast loudly about how the cafe serves no meat (obviously he assumed they were vegetarian, as we had received no such introduction). However, the cafe is only pescetarian, and I think it is disingenuous to portray themselves as veg when they still participate in the killing of fish and other sea animals. Virtually every other Key West restaurant focuses on sea "food"... is it too much to ask for a fully vegan restaurant?
