Location) We love this plant-based diner (especially for breakfast!) and there is a great plant-based donut shop right across the street.
The restaurant is small and wait times for dinner are long (but very well worth it) so we typically snack a little before and expect to wait about an hour or so. They have a second location down the street that is equally delicious but we enjoy the experience of the original building.

The Korean BBQ is very light and tasty! They use a rice batter rather than flour which makes it less seem less dense. They have two meatless options.

Our personal favorite for really great beer with such unique flavors! The staff is so outgoing and friendly. The ambiance is relaxed and a great place for a date or just to chill for a bit before or after dinner. I also love to get their samplers so I can try more than one beer in smaller increments. If Sage is working let him know Karina and Nate sent you!!
