    Great vegan spot! Inside is a relaxed but more upscale vibe. My table shared the eggplant baos which were fantastic. Amazing flavor. We also got the zucchini crab cake sandwich which had great flavor and came with warm, freshly made potato chips. Also did the squash blossom which wasn't my favorite but still good, especially the pesto it came with. Service was fantastic. There was a temporary happy hour menu replacing their usual menu but we got confused and accidentally ordered off the wrong menu, but they graciously gave us happy hour prices anyway. Would definitely come back!

    Simple, the drinks were outstanding! The service was awesome and the decor was perfect. I enjoyed my dishes. So, here are my recommendations: 1. Sit in Katie's station. She will make you feel like so so welcomed; 2. The DollFace cocktail was delicious; 3. The Charlie Fries were well seasoned and went perfect with the cocktail; the avocado toast was finger licking good. Then the Bread Pudding was a perfect way to end the meal. Great company, good food and excellent service makes a perfect evening out. Thank you Charlie!

    Went here for dinner last night. Good thing my sister made reservations because it seems to be a popular spot. They keep it pretty dark in there, with a bar area in the front and the dining room in the back. Tables are pretty close together - - it's crowded and loud so not a great place for conversation and catching up - - but a delicious choice for vegan food. Was super happy to see that they had a gluten-free menu - - just ask. Not a ton of options but definitely found plenty to share. Also psyched to see a fun tequila drink on the menu. Servers were quick to point out which of the plates were gluten free. Most everything we ordered was tasty and I especially loved Mama's Meatballs and the Brassica Salad with Falafel.

    This is one of my favorite restaurants! Love love love this place. So much so we periodically take trips up to Philly from DC just for dinner here. Really wonderful vegan food. I haven't had 1 thing I've disliked from here and I have tried a good portion of the menu. Oddly enough my favorite things from here are the potatoe croquettes (FIRE!) and the charcuterie board, and those are just appetizer options lol. Outside of the food, I also love the atmosphere, it's dark and sexy and is the perfect date spot! Love the drink options too. Went once in the winter of 2021 when places had mandatory outdoor seating and because it was so cold they offered keepsake blankets when you'd buy a hot drink, we thought that was so cute! The service is always top notch, can't wait to return soon.
