Good upscale dinning experience, avoid the brunch - Edit
I ate here with my husband twice, once for dinner and once for brunch. The dinner was phenomenal, the brunch was so-so. For the dinner, the vegan ragout was really delicious, though I must say it was not a ragout. It is still a really good dish - the seitan had a really distinct wine flavor to it, and was sliced thinly giving it a different textures. The potatoes had a really great texture and a nice rosemary taste. And the green in cream - delicious! I also had the vegan salad, which was really good too, but very similar to the main dish in my opinion.
For brunch, I had the scrambled tofu. It was OK, not the best scramble I've had, but not the worst. It was fairly bland, and didn't really contain any veggies (or seitan sausage...) that can take it to the next level. I felt disappointed.
This place is a great place for a fancy dinner to celebrate a special occasion, but I would avoid the brunch. The dinner prices are too steep for me to eat here regularly.

May be the best, yet sinful breakfast in the Triangle - Edit
I love this place for breakfast or brunch! Amazing pastries and dishes! I always end up taking home pastries and bread! Great options for vegetarians and of course some things are appropriate for vegans. Also excellent coffee!

has recently upped their vegan game!! - Edit
As another reviewer mentioned, they have recently expanded vegan options especially for lunch and a new three course offering for dinner after their amazing win in the 2016 Bull City Vegan Challenge. It is pricey so best for a special night, but with the ambiance and architecture it's worth it. Lunch is the same you'd pay at comparable places though, so try one of their new vegan sandwiches.

innovative vegan options - Edit
Following their win in the 2016 Bull City Vegan Chef Challenge, the owner/management recognized the demand and potential for serving vegan options and decided to add at least one fully vegan option to every menu (breakfast, weekend brunch, lunch, and dinner). Their winning dish was vegan Königsberger Klopse — tempeh meatballs with macadamia cream, capers and faux anchovies, served with a side of roasted potatoes topped with wood sorrel pesto. To say it was delicious doesn't go far enough to explain how much I loved this dish! I look forward to trying their vegan tofu scramble and vegan blue cheese & roasted beet sandwich!
The staff is top notch, and the atmosphere is like none other in Durham - a very European feel.
Pros: creative gourmet vegan, enthusiastic management and staff, vegan option on every menu
Cons: expensive
