5/5 Sir Bernard Mendes F. 1 year ago on Google
Coming
out
from
a
great
massage
I
was
famished
but
needed
somewhere
very
vegan,
meatless,
and
on
[The
Westside].
I
hadn’t
been
here
since
the
pandemic
broke
out,
sometime
before
2020–
a
long
while.
Well,
upon
seeing
the
exterior
booths
built
onto
the
side
of
the
building
was
quite
surprising.
Then
once
inside
it
was
easy
to
tell
everything
was
shifted
around,
all
the
tables
being
greatly
separated
from
one
another.
All
the
dividing
furnishings
were
removed
and
it
was
just
one
huge
open
space.
I
was
immediately
seated.
And
it
wasn’t
long
before
this
trio
of
two
dapper
young
women
and
a
male
friend
were
seated
at
a
table
just
close
by
me.
What
was
so
interesting
about
one
of
the
gals
was
her
beauty
and
tawny
cheeky
good
looks.
Short
skirted.
Flirty.
With
a
judicious
stare
about
her
that
was
mysterious.
Stunning.
I
thought
to
myself.
Maybe
even
movie
star
material!
However
when
listening
in
conversation
at
a
distance
she
spoke
perfectly
between
Spanish
and
English.
In
all
appearance
they
were
speaking
Spanish—aah,
Spaniards
…
and
tourists
!
Forgive
me.
Too
too
pretty
to
stop
from
staring.
In
any
event,
the
inspiration
became
short-lived
within
a
matter
of
moments
and
my
dinner
had
finally
arrived
in
all
its
glory.
Of
course
I
couldn’t
finish
anything
and
just
carted
everything
home.
But,
the
lovely
waitress
[Catlyn]
was
ever
so
pleasant
and
gracious.
Extra
extra
kind
and
super-polite.
As
for
the
other
waiter
[Lane]
outfitted
with
a
nose-ring
with
his
bouncy
tousled
jet
black
hair
like
a
modernized
Toulouse-Lautrec
running
tables,
smart
and
efficient.
Pleasantly
waiting
tables
cutting
across
the
place.
Excellent
staff
and
greatly
friendly.
With
exceptions
seeing
how
the
others
in
their
flurrying
busy-ness
ran
around
supposedly
unnoticed
in
their
attitudinal
class
so
attentive
to
their
dinersl
All
in
all
it’s
a
place
that
could
easily
slip
into
the
likes
of
San
Francisco’s
hipster
vibe
somewhere
sight
unseen
or
something
in
L.A.’s
star
studded
vistas,
maybe
Santa
Monica
or
Los
Feliz
…
like
so
many
many
positively
Uber
options
to
expand
upon
such
great
ideas
taking
a
slice
from
NYC
and
going
bi-coastal.
Amazingly
superb.
But
for
anyone,
for
that
matter,
it’s
like
the
Starbucks
of
the
Vegan
world—
aptly
marvelous
and
a
super
cool
superior
take
on
the
staple
we
love
to
nosh
on
most
whenever
it
feels
right!
We’ve
been
patronizing
this
place
for
years
now.
Since
2007–and,
it’s
still
fantastic
to
come
by
alone
or
in
a
group
or
as
families
enjoying
it
with
their
kids.
Just
memorable
and
long-lasting
enjoyment
for
everyone
at
all
ages.
A
must
for
sure
for
any
vegetarian
options.
Voted
« One
of
the
Best
in
NYC »
hands
down
by
me
of
course.
