There is a small parking area right outside of the restaurant, which was great as parking in downtown BR can be a pain. Food was delicious. Matthew was our server, he was very attentive and made sure items were safe for me to eat as I'm dairy free. The inside of the restaurant is very quaint and is perfect for a date night. We will be going back very soon!

This is probably the best vegan date night spot in Baton Rouge. We had a phenomenal experience here. We made a reservation, so when we got there the table was already set and beautiful for us. The place itself is very pretty and has great mood lighting and the drinks were absolutely delicious, so good we had to order multiple rounds. I got the vegan lasagna and my boyfriend got the catch of the day fish. Both of our meals were piping hot, fresh, and delicious! We will definitely be coming back, thank you!

Came here with my wife for an anniversary dinner. It was crowded so we were glad we made a reservation beforehand. The inside is VERY loud... not easy to have a conversation with your dining partners. Fortunately, our reservation was for the patio, which was much quieter, with the exception of a few loud cars that passed by. The outside was fun for people watching too! We ordered the Korean pork belly wraps and Salmon belly rillette as starters. The pork belly was excellent... perhaps a tiny tin bit overcooked but still very good. The salmon was underwhelming... much drier than expected. We ordered the Osso Bucco and Confit Duck as main dishes with red wine. The duck was super tender, but the mushroom flavor in the sauce was a bit too strong for my taste, and I love mushrooms normally. Parts of the Osso Bucco completely melted in our mouths, while other parts were very overcooked... quite surprising for something that was cooked sous-vide for 24 hours. Service was mostly good. It seemed like the restaurant was a little understaffed (who isn't these days), and the workers were HUSTLING! Still, everything took a little bit longer than expected, but it wasn't too bad. We had high expectations after seeing the reviews, and while the experience didn't meet the bar, we still had a really good time and the food was excellent overall!

Such a superb place with quality ingredients. Love this place. the weather was fantastic for outside seating. Starters, Had the yellowfin tuna over crispy rice. This was just ok. Jalepenos were unusually spicy. The rice to tuna ratio was off and needed a little more sauce. Still good though. The burrata beat salad was delicious but would have been even better with a balsamic to me. The beet soup was flavorful and comforting. Duck entree was a little over salted but so delicious! Wish it had the other half of the duck just wasn't enough. The sides were savory. The ribeye was also over salted and a little chewy but good. The potatoes were great. The lavender fields drink was refreshing and relaxing. The pims cup still one of the best. The chocolate sorbet WOW! Shocked it's dairy free as it's so rich and creamy. I have to go back and get that for sure. Glad it's a staple and not a seasonal thing.

An upscale restaurant with outdoor seating available for those travelling with pups made our choice to eat here easy. We tried 3 different appetizers (portions are small,but that's expected in a restaurant) and all were phenomenally good. Our waiter Leigh turned out to be an amazing chatty gal who recommended a number of breweries on our way to next destination as part of our roadtrip (turns out,she's a passionate beer-afficionado!) so we got more than we expected-great good,great service and great local insights. Thank you,we'd love to come back again sometime when in the area!

I thoroughly enjoyed the food at this establishment. I had the vegan Carolina BBQ sandwich, with smashed fingerling potatoes, all of which were very good. Upon arrival, our waiter seemed to be less than thrilled that we were there, which was quite disappointing. Maybe he was having a bad day, but it sure put a damper on the experience. I'd been wanting to try this place for a while, but this tainted it a bit for me. The place is cute and quaint, which I liked. Overall, the food was very good. I always try to give people grace, so I'll give it another go. Hopefully, it'll be a better overall experience next time and I can up my review to 5 stars.
