Yummy! - Edit

I ordered the cabbage steak with no feta and no breadcrumbs. Our table also ordered the mushroom bruschetta and requested the cheese be left on the side. Overall, staff was knowledgeable and made an effort to ask the chef what all could be “veganized.” The food was absolutely delicious and I’ll be back!

Pros: Options to pick from , Upscale cuisine, well-crafted offerings, Friendly staff

Few options, but fantastic ones - Edit

There’s not a lot in the way of upscale vegan dining in Lexington, but Epping’s really has made a point of offering some truly fantastic, veggie-forward vegan dishes.

For an appetizer there’s only one vegan-by-default option, the Korean Spicy Cucumbers (which are fantastic), but by removing the dairy and replacing it with their cashew crema their Heirloom Carrot is vegan, and this carrot is to die for. It’s impossibly tender, and their barbecue rub is out-of-this-world. For main courses, their quinoa en nogada is vegan and fantastic, and I haven’t tried it but I asked after their red lentil curry and found that it is vegan if you replace the naan with grilled sourdough. We ran out of time before having to leave for a play, but they have a vegan cherry almond chocolate torte that I’m certain would have been absolutely excellent.

Food aside, the service was truly great. Our waitress was not only extremely friendly and capable, but she was clearly well prepared for a vegan client and knew right away what I could eat and what modifications would work best. I will certainly be back here.

Pros: Outstanding Food, Awesome, vegan-conscious staff, Vegan options for every course

Cons: More options would let me eat here more often
