Vegetable

Okay, we’re vegetarians, so if you’re going to name your restaurant Vegetable, odds are we’re going to show up at some point.
And so we did! Twice even…this most recent time was on Mother’s Day for brunch! I had the Maple Sriracha Hash Skillet…All four of those words are things which make me want to order a dish.
I really enjoyed it…it has a spice to it but it was just the right amount to be a presence without taking away from the edibility of the dish. We got the grilled cheese for our kid without the tomato basil compote which I’m sure would have been awesome for our adult palettes, but not for our 9 year old.
(And they weren’t willing to put it on the side.
It says right on the menu “All modifications politely declined.” That’s probably our least favorite thing to read on menus.
If you’re a person with a particular diet restriction, or a combination of diet restrictions, you often need to be able to change or modify an item so you actually eat it.
For a place that is so clearly catering towards vegetarians, vegans, and with lots of gluten free items available, it was definitely disappointing to see this policy.
That having been said, for the sake of our kid we were happy they were willing to serve the grilled cheese without the compote.) My wife got the Smothered Cruciferous Breakfast Scramble which she thought great and which came with, as she described “crazy good” cornbread. The coffee was good too.
(Kind of an essential of you’re serving brunch!) It was served in a French press for three people, and the two of us coffee drinkers did very well with that.
(And they put a little hour glass timer on the table to give us an indication of the recommended brewing time.) Our kids thought the strawberry lemonade was the best thing he ever had in his life.
He also thought the lentil soup he got was really good. The space and food was comfortable.
The server was friendly and we’ll be back.

If you are in LA this is the right restaurant for you, especially if you are vegan. We had the - Double Chocolate Brownie - Pineapple Teriyaki Cheeseburger - Vegan Mac & Cheese - Bourbon BBQ Western Cheeseburger - Criss-Cut Waffle Potato Fries and everything was delicious.
(don't judge, we were hungry 😋) Thank you for the delicious food, we would love to come back.

A beautiful restaurant with nice food, but I'm uncertain the food deserves as much praise as other reviews seem to give.
This might be because I am not giving bonus points for having so many vegan/gf options.
Nonetheless, it seems like it would make a solid lunch-spot or casual night out, but will not impress someone seeking out stellar cuisine. Quaint and casual decor with great attentive table service.
The menu is rather large and could probably use some refining or curation since some dishes seemed a bit redundant. The food had a beautiful presentation and seemed relatively thoughtful and well put together, but lacked the heart and craft of some of the better restaurants in the LA food scene.
A touch over seasoned and sweetened in a few dishes made me wish they let the (presumably) fresh ingredients do more of the work in bringing flavor.
