I am happy that a reasonably priced all-vegan place opened in New Haven, and the people working here are really friendly. However, the food needs some work. The BBQ mock chicken appeared to be fried TVP (or something similar) in tomato sauce; the "steak" was some sort of very mushy mock meat; and the pasta was seriously overcooked. With all of the great mock meats out there, they could do much better. The Uptown Juice Bar on 125th in NYC is a great example of this sort of restaurant done right. I do hope that they work out the menu and are successful.
I only went here once but I loved everything I ate. I got the split pea soup and the curried chicken. Both tasted great. The owners are such nice people too.
