This was booked for at 30th birthday in October for a table in December. They emailed back explaining they may need to cancel because of a Christmas party but would let us know and they didn’t so we chased twice and got a response saying booking was fine to remain. Then two days before we received another email saying they were shutting the night we booked due to needing to move house which they apologised for then booked us in for the next night promising complimentary Prosecco for doing this. Although it would no longer be my 30th we didn’t mind because we had read such good things about the restaurant. We got there atmosphere was nice and it is always lovely to see veggie vegan restaurants which are full! We sat down ordered our drinks which we had to wait 30 mins for. The table next to us who arrived after were apologised to for the rebooking and got Prosecco pretty much when they sat down. No Prosecco was given to us and I felt too awkward to ask. I was disappointed with the menu. Being vegan they recommended 5 plates for a table of two so we order one of every vegan item on the menu as that is all there was. Portions were small and not particularly well seasoned but it was nice to experience vegan food which was a bit more upmarket than your typical vegan burger. I didn’t feel it was enough food so we ended up eating churros from oowee vegan after! Although staff were friendly when they came to the table. Staff didn’t appear to be particularly hurry for things to be taken to the tables. What I think happened is that 3 tables were booked in at 8, one of them being us and 2 other tables, one which was late and they then waiting on all orders to be in from us to then make all the food together. This appeared to be the case as we all seemed to get the same dishes at the same time and I suppose this makes it easier for the chef as the dishes in some cases appeared to be quite fiddly dishes to make. I felt if staff had just communicated this with us I wouldn’t have minded so much but there was such a long wait between dishes it really felt very dragged out and very underwhelming when one small plate of food finally did arrive. I would not go here again. We ate in some lovely cheaper and more satisfying fully vegan places in Bristol including an all vegan Chinese which was delicious. Really sad I couldn’t give this restaurant more but I wouldn’t give 5 anyway unless they changed fully vegan.
What is objectively apparent is that the chef here is highly skilled and innovative. An original concept restaurant They take bookings on the hour only so as to synchronise the dinner service, a clever idea. Minimal staffing, only 3 to 4 people working during a typical dinner service. Expect an extended dining period, have patience and enjoy the pace of the evening with an extremely well accomplished array of small plates. 5 to 6 dishes are recommended for 2 people sharing. We had perhaps one of the best meals in many a long year. Outstanding dishes included; Black sesame encrusted Arancini with black rice. Herb dumplings. Seared Brussel sprouts All vegan. The dessert was also epic, I 'd call it; if clouds were made of chocolate . Service was friendly and with clear instructions with regards to how best to order. Already planning a return visit
Was glad to make it to this restaurant tucked away, and think it’s a shame I didn’t come across it sooner. The menu was varied, and we shared all of the vegan options. The food was perhaps slightly under-seasoned for our taste, but the flavours were interesting. The staff were really lovely and friendly, and it was nice to see a veggie/vegan restaurant so full.

Really interesting and delicious small plates, creative and detailed. Staff were super lovely and accommodating. The setting is classy and relaxed as well. However, the actual location of the restaurant is a little hard to find and in a run-down not very nice area.
