Awesome for vegan options

Huge menu full of clearly labelled vegan options (I’d say at least 80% vegan, with more that could be made vegan on request!)
Nice setting and friendly staff. We loved it so much we went twice😄 would give 5 stars if happy cow would let me

Updated from previous review on 2023-12-31

Pros: Huge vegan selection , Clear labelling, Great setting and service

Great Vibe & Food

This place was super cool, the decor was fun! The food was all clearly labeled with tons of options! The menu can be a bit overwhelming since there are lots of options! Delicious food as well! #Veganuary

Not enough vegan options

They only had a handful of vegan options. After asking 3 times if a dish is possible to be made vegan, they brought it to us with sour cream. We had to change the whole order. It was good but I wouldn't go there again.

Buen ambiente

No hay mucha variedad de opciones veganas, y los que probé no eran nada increíble. Un poco caro, es más por el ambiente del local que por la calidad de los platillos

Pros: Bonito local

Cons: Caro respecto a la calidad-precio, Parqueo muy limitado en las inmediaciones

Bangin Vegan Deliciousness

Place is amazing. The pulled pork was outstanding as was Alex, the server. Super accommodating as I came in late. I’ll definitely be back.

So good

I still think about this place often, so often that I had to leave a review as soon as I created this account although I visited last summer. One of the best vegan restaurants that I’ve been too, with friendly staff, extensive bar and a creative menu. Counting down the days until I come back.

Superb dining

Great atmosphere with hanging plants, comfortable seating and enthusiastic staff. The cocktail bar offers specialty drinks with a flair such as their Moscow Mule served flaming at your table. The staff is knowledgeable about dishes and virtually every item is or can be made vegan.

Pros: Excellent cocktails, Large variety of menu items, Ambiance of setting is very comfortable

Great atmosphere

The restaurant is absolutely beautiful and the menu is inventive. The food itself was good. However the waiter knew I was vegan, we talked about vegan cheese options, and I was still served animal cheese which is the sort of thing I'd expect from a carnist restaurant but seemed out of place for a restaurant as vegan friendly as this one. The dessert options were great and the tea I had was out of this world. I would definitely go back

Vegan in Escalante

We came back again and again over the month we visited San Jose and were never disappointed. Food was delicious, staff very friendly, and an amazing assortment of vegan and vegetarian dishes. What’s not to love?

Expected more for the price

Atmosphere was nice and cocktails were good, but the food was avarage. The vegie rainbow (basically rice wraps with just plain veggies and rice) were very bland. Soup de coco was ok.
Few of our orders never came etc.

So for the food the price was bit expensive (paid for 2 good cocktails, soup and plain rice wraps = 26 000 colones).

Pros: Good cocktails, Good atmosphere

Cons: Lack of attention to orders, Plain food

Disappointing

The 'wings', cocktails, ambience, and service were great, but I'm rating this place low because of an item that we ordered that was a complete joke. As you can see from the photo I posted, the pickled sticks were literally 2 small pickle cucumbers probably cut into quarters, thinly sliced, and breaded. They were so thin that we couldn't taste the actual pickle. They also looked bigger in the menu. 

While I realize this place is upmarket and expensive in general, this ridiculousness cost us $8USD! It shouldn't be selling for even half that amount. I felt really taken advantage of as a customer and I should have sent it back but we were enjoying our Sunday and didn't want to disrupt that. I looked at other tables and saw that their orders were properly portioned. I really hope they address this particular item and will have to look at that $8 as an unwilling tip. Not sure I want to give it another chance...

Delicious

Fancy Restaurant but with fairly reasonable prices and good portion sizes! I had the yucca burger and the chocolate mousse for dessert, all made vegan. Staff friendly and attentive. Food was great, nice atmosphere

An absolute must in San Jose!

This place is fantastic. In a great neighborhood with a really inviting atmosphere. Tons of options, everything can be made vegan (if it’s not one of the other 100 options that are vegan.) The staff is very attentive and helpful. Truly a vegan paradise!

Pros: Ton of options, Great atmosphere , Fantastic staff
