Decent food but too pricey and lacks variety

While I appreciate their plant-based section on the menu, they really only have one vegan and one vegetarian option that seem extremely similar just with and without dairy. I got the Native Sauté, the only vegan entree option if you don’t count the salad. It was zucchini, squash, carrots, onions and portobello mushrooms over wild rice. The taste was good but at the price, I feel it should include some sort of protein or even maybe just pasta. It felt more like an appetizer than an entrée and I feel they could have done more. Great customer service though would appreciate a more inclusive menu.

Pros: Plant-based section on menu

Cons: Limited vegan options, Basic preparation

Very Fresh Tasting

Cool atmosphere at the restaurant, great frosé drinks & very fresh tasting comfort food with the native sauté.

Really good, but not many options

They only had 3 vegan options and I was about to give them only 3 stars for that, but the food was so good so I just had to give them 4 stars!! The vegan food was fairly priced, but everything else was kind of expensive (but most of it was seafood so it's understandable...)

Good options

Three vegan options on the menu, a salad, stuffed mushroom and a sauté. I got the native sauté which had rice, and a lot of vegetables. I really liked it and it was very filling

Pros: Unique options

it’s not bad!

i got the three sisters salad (vegan as-is) and it was okay! nothing special, but the dressing was good. my mom got the three sisters stuffed portobello, which i would definitely recommend getting instead (vegan if cheese is removed). the mushroom is marinated and is so so delicious.

Better options nearby

Only one vegan entree on the menu plus a salad and an appetizer. My girlfriend and I had all of it and it was all mediocre. Kitchen was slow despite it not being exceptionally busy, the food had very little flavor or texture and felt like a hodgepodge of ingredients doused in oil and cooked to a mush. Improving the variety or quality of the food would be great, but it’s still slow and expensive. Dixie Dharma is close by and more casual but much better

Cons: Expensive, Slow kitchen, Mediocre food, limited veg options

Ambiance + Great Food

Perfect place to bring your non-veg family and friends. The food is fresh and flavorful and they have an extensive wine/ libations menu. I’m typically not an okra fan, but love their charred version. Beet and pear salad — hold the cheese — is another fav. Take time to admire the incredible art collection inside and around the grounds. If you bring the kiddos, check with the hostess station for food to feed the fish in the spring and don’t miss the storybook characters sprinkled around the grounds!

Pros: Vegan options, Amazing art, Eat outside and enjoy views of the river/spring

Couple of vegan options

Only ate here once with family members from out of town. At the time, they used butter in the saute so I ended up with a small pile of veggies (the sauce had good flavor though). I did appreciate that the server checked about ingredients and informed me about the rice. Since then, they've updated the menu to note vegetarian and vegan options, and the saute is now labeled vegan. The okra fries were unique and very good! It's definitely a good option if you have family members that want to eat meat.

Pros: Menu denotes vegetarian and vegan options

Cons: Limited vegan options
