Decent options for a chain restaurant

I went here to celebrate my non-veg dad's birthday. It was nice having a few options to pick from! I also like that they have a specifically vegan salad on the menu. Our waiter was kind and informative about the menu and drink recommendations. I ended up getting the salad and wasn't super impressed. It was good, and I like that there were a variety of toppings, but there was such a small amount of the chickpeas and quinoa that it left me feeling less satiated than I would have liked. Even though it wasn't the most amazing salad, I still appreciate the effort and it's better than a lot of chain restaurants out there.

Pros: Some vegan items marked, Informative staff

Cons: A bit pricey

Fresh and So Many Options!

This restaurant caters well to all diets. For Vegans and non-vegans in Rochester with many raw, and fresh varieties of ingredients. Try the Cobb salad, it’s really a whole meal for one or two people to share. The white baguette bread is vegan, ask for oil to dip instead of butter. Love this place, my top pick for vegans in Rochester. Note that some of the sauces contain honey when picking a sauce or salad dressing, check the PETA website for which ones are completely vegan there.

update- I also tried the Impossible Burger there, it comes with a non-vegan Russian sauce containing eggs. Ask for ketchup/mustard instead or swap the sauce with guacamole. You can ask for the burger to be cooked in a separate pan or on tin foil instead of on the grill with the meat. I recommend getting the salad as the side because the fries are cooked in the oil fryer with the rest of the meat.

Had a great, knowledgeable
waitress that was willing to go back and ask questions without judgement ! Being vegan is hard sometimes due to lack of knowledge and people's opinions !

Pros: nice selection of vegan options.

Cons: none

Pretty Decent Options for a Chain!

I had the vegan Cobb and it didn’t disappoint. Very yummy and fulfilling. This makes coming to a chain restaurant totally doable. Other chains need to take some notes.
