I would have given one star, but was generous to give two because this venue does host burlesque (which is way cool) and the kitchen opened just two weeks ago.
Read moreThe venue is a small, single room lounge with a very low stage filling ⅓ of the floor space. There is a great mural painted on one wall. Every week they are bringing in more decor. The couches and coffee tables are new and walls freshly painted. There is a nice outdoor sidewalk seating area. Parking is extremely limited and my friends and I chose not to valet next door and instead walked two and a half blocks (in the rain, go figure, LA).
They only offered five items from the dinner menu the night we visited. I hate to say this, but the chef chose the cheapest ingredients to make shockingly simple food - like food a vegan would eat on a backpacking trip with just a camping stove to prepare. When I visit my family in the farm town I grew up in - where there is no health food store or Ⓥ-friendly restaurant - I can still prepare better dishes in my family’s carnivore kitchen. But this venue is in Beverly Hills with at least five elite health food stores within two miles and spectacular vegan restaurants from fast food style to the most upscale I’ve eaten at in my world travels on every corner.
They are literally charging $28 for a fajita plate. That fajita plate was four cheap corn tortillas like you’d get for the lowest price at Save On Foods, with three slices of small portabella, chopped parsley and fried peppers on them. No sauce. No avocado. No fresh veggies. $28.
My “Mediterranean” salad was $14 and literally a handful of spinach with canned black olives, canned kalamata olives, canned picked artichoke hearts and canned banana peppers on. No dressing. No fresh veggies. No avocado. No plating. No presentation. $14.
Neither the owner or the chef are vegan and and my experience felt that Attitude was taking advantage of my community. These prices are literally higher than Matthew Kenny restaurants, Gracias Madre, Nic’s on Beverly and Crossroads Kitchen. The cashier/bartender wasn’t friendly. The ambience wasn’t upscale. The food was insulting. I know the kitchen opened just two weeks ago, but it should have waited until they found an experienced chef and the manager recognizes they are offering a dive-lounge brand and not fine dining. Cannot recommend. Go literally anywhere else in the vegan paradise of Los Angeles.

Offensive - Edit
I tried to give it one star, but Happy Cow is nicer than I feel right now and gives a bonus star just for this place being vegan.
Read moreI have to echo everything from Tonya Kay's review below, except...
I am an avid wilderness backpacker and my dehydrated vegan food on the trail is WAY better than the scam menu at this place.
As a vegan since 2006, I was excited to learn about a vegan late-night venue, but this place is downright offensive, bordering on criminal.
I do not like speaking poorly of a small business, especially a vegan restaurant, but learning that the owner isn't vegan and is advertising to and taking money from my community, I couldn't not say something. I feel we are being taken advantage of. LA is literally a vegan paradise and this place uses the CHEAPEST most basic ingredients for higher than Matthew Kenney prices.
The "Fish & Chips" were cough-inducingly dry (fried with no oil?) mushrooms on top of unsalted potato wedges and it was $32 for an incredibly small portion. Small portions are fine if the ingredients and plating are quality, but this was not the case here in the least.
Most of the menu wasn't even available, granted it had just opened two weeks prior to my visit.
To summarize my experience, this is equivalent to the vegan food option in small-town America circa 1992 at best, with 2050 prices. Let's do better please. 😔

Go to crossroads - Edit
Biscuits and gravy were good. Everything took a long time to come out. Server was nice but awkward. Seating was uncomfortable. But the thing that will make me not return is the prices. Oh my goodness the prices. You could go to crossroads and have a 5 star experience for the same price. The prices do not match the food, the decor, or the location.
Read morePros: All vegan
Cons: Extremely expensive , Way too expensive to make sense, Atmosphere is not very modern
