We reserved this restaurant for a party of 11 people and ordered through the tasting menu and I loved that each individual had its own plate. It does seem that the portion sizes are small but trust me, it a lot of food. We were full beyond our capacity! Food was good, wasn’t that great as I have tasted better vegan food. But I absolutely loved the zucchini sliders and potato croquettes! Definitely worth the try! Restaurant has a bar and their mocktails and cocktails were amazing! The place is a but dark and music is loud and seating arrangement is kinda crowded so it’s a bit difficult to talk to. Washrooms were clean and a bit difficult to find but they were clean and tidy. Servers were amazing and quick in their service, they even checked our coats so we all can comfortably sit. Service

Stopped by Charlie Was A Sinner fora nightcap and I really enjoyed what it had to offer. The space gives dark, intimate, chill and seductive vibes. It's very cozy and warm and was perfect for ending the night. The service was good. The server made sure we had what we needed and gave us great recommendations. I loved my drink and would definitely return to try other cocktails. Overall cool place and a great spot for catching up with friends or for a date night.

★★★★★ 5.0 Angelica Jimenez · Dec 2025

The best! I’ve been going here for birthdays and special occasions since they opened 10+ years ago. Highly reccomend. The atmosphere is everything. All the staff is always so nice with calm good energy. The food is so good and tapas style so you can always try a couple to a few things and share. Such a good experience. Everyone I bring here loves it, vegans and meat eaters alike. The cocktails are also incredible and they have zero proof as well. The menu changes seasonally and it’s truly wonderful in every way. Reservations reccomended for weekends and nights. They always take walking for the bar and lounge area so if you’re just a couple people you can likely walk in (I usually walk in and it usually is fine but if all the walk in tables are occupied it’ll be upwards of an hour wait!) bu

★★★★★ 5.0 Maria Cunneen · Mar 2026

First time visiting Philly and happy to dine at this inviting, cozy, all vegan restaurant. Great options for varying appetites. Delicious cheese and hummus platter along with a scrumptious meatball dish that had some great kick to it. Nice assortment of mocktails was an added bonus! Will certainly go again. Great service too! You don't have to BE Vegan to love all that is offered here!

★★★★★ 5.0 Korbin Spayd · Jan 2026

I rarely write a long review but this place is worth it so I will try to shorten this. The food is unbelievable in taste, flavors and presentation. The shared plate tapas style menu is perfect. I would recommend ordering 3-4 items to share for two people. Expect the unexpected. The flavors and ingredients are undeniably savory. The one take away in ordering many different plates, is that each complement each other so well. The drinks are excellent and have so much to them without being overpowering. The staff is overly kind and conversational and attentive. The restaurant is cozy and inviting, however make a reservation to make sure you get a nicer table. Not much space for all the dishes that start coming to you. Great ambiance and music. One of the nicest looking restaurants on the block
