The atmosphere is one of fun, friends, and, of course, the circus. Circus banners hand from the walls, the table tops are circus rounds and the booths are decorated like the sides of circus walls would be. It's very bright and larger than life. I almost felt like I was on set for Water for Elephants or the unfinished set of Moulin Rouge. There is also upbeat music playing in the background. However, in addition to the overhead music, the tables are all very close together, making the general noise on the high end. It makes you want to talk more loudly, but not too loudly because the table 4" next to you will certainly overhear.
The food was actually quite good and oddly unique. My boyfriend had tofu-egg scramble with kale and breakfast potatoes and rice. Must note, the eggs were not eggs but eggs made from tofu. It also came with a deathly hot chili sauce, which I tried and he loved. I had the mediterranean turkey burger, which was a turkey burger stuffed with feta cheese, onions, and I believe spinach. I choose the side salad as my side but the sweet potato fries at the table next to us looked delicious! The rest of their real burgers can either be made from bison meat or black bean quinoa, thus tailoring to both crowds. The portions are huge, and breakfast foods are served all day! Be wary, though, they only accept cash, and while there is an ATM on site, it would just be wiser to bring it upfront.
Would I go there again? Probably, but also probably not unless mood arose. I love vegan foods and just healthy food in general, and the price is definitely fair, but it's almost like thai or indian, you just have to be in the mood for it. I'd probably give it a 3.5 / 5. It was a fun dinner.
