• Good food, Super expensive

We heard about this new all-vegan place opening in Orlando and decided to check it out today. The restaurant is beautifully decorated complete with modern paintings, hardwood flooring and romantic lighting. A great place for date night. The staff is friendly and the menu is diverse (including many soy free, gluten free and even some raw options) I ordered the seitan dish, my husband ordered the tofu tacos and my son had the mac 'n cheese. Let me start by saying the seitan dish is $22. That is a good chunk of change in my book so I'm thinking this dish will be amazing. It wasn't, but it was good enough. The texture of the seitan (which I believe they make in-house) is similar to Worthington's Choplets, extra chewy. The flavor, however, was very good in a rosemary and butter sauce, similar to a veal schnitzel. The seitan has a walnut crust and although I could not detect the walnut flavor it did have a nice crunch at times. Would I order this dish again? Probably not. The plate included a large piece of seitan filet with two small pieces of potatoes. That's it. I think the plate could benefit from some added greens (i.e. asparagus, broccoli, light salad, etc.) to give it a more complete feel. My husband's meal was delicious. His plate came with three tacos, which included soft corn tortillas, breaded tofu, cabbage salad with avocado slices on the side) The dish is $16, I believe. The breaded tofu has a really nice texture that melts in your mouth. It is hard to tell is tofu. The cabbage slaw is nicely seasoned in a light aioli and for those who enjoy it there is even a spicy sauce on the side. I still think $16 for a tofu/cabbage taco is a bit extravagant but it was the best dish of the night. In all my travels I have yet to find an out-of-this-world vegan version of mac 'n cheese at a restaurant and this place is no different. The pasta was overcooked, the sauce was extremely runny and it was way under-seasoned. However, it is a nice option to have if you come to this restaurant with children because everything else is ridiculously expensive for a child. We tried the apple tartin and key lime tart for dessert. The apple one was super sweet. One bite was plenty for me, which is a good thing because it comes in a tiny shot glass. The key lime tart was ok. It tasted like a typical raw cashew cheesecake (cashews, coconut oil, lime juice...). All in all, a satisfying meal. I would return and perhaps try some of their small plates instead.
