A medium sized airy space, featuring a large rectangular bar in the middle. A fairly small vegetarian menu - 5 starters, 6 "Veggies and Leaves", 6 Entrees, 5 Pizzas, and 3 Desserts. Everything ordered was excellent, service was relaxed and friendly. They were also very helpful about slightly modifying a dish to accommodate a food allergy. Although each of us in our party ordered separately we noticed many tables were ordering for the table and sharing. Friday nights there is live music The night we were there it was a female duo playing guitar and violin and singing fabulous harmonies on 20s and 30s standards. A real treat. As to parking, their is a small public metered lot right next to the restaurant.

Food is great. Setting is wonderful. Service is very good. Prices are in line with what one expects for this type of food although $6 for a tea bag felt like a rip off. I do have one complaint. A patron at the table next to us was listening to something on his phone without earbuds and at full volume. He came in after we'd already been seated, so he could have easily chosen a location away from diners as the restaurant was only 20% occupied. I would appreciate if the restaurant would kindly request that patrons wear earbuds or sit away from other diners.
