If I could give zero stars I would. Unfair I'm forced to give any stars bc I'd give negative

Went with 15 others, couldn't wait to support another local vegan restaurant. Reservations made, seated at 2 tables b/c we were too large a party and the waitress came over like she was doing us a favour. Dumped one menu on the table and rolled her eyes when we asked for more. Food was nice but small portions. One friend got a salad which was a packet of arugula and some herbs-she was disappointed. Barely remember the food I shared with my partner. There was a second seating at 7:30, by 7 we were reminded of this fact several times and made to feel we needed to leave NOW. Disgusted by the treatment (all 15 of us) we decided to go to the always perfect Brother Bon down the street. As I got up they were barking at us and nervously I fell off my knee scooter (I'd just had surgery and was in a cast) the waitress stood in front of me watching me try to get up as my partner rushed over to help. Did she ask how I was or even pretend to help? NOPE! She stood there like I was pathetic and in her way.
Then we were shuffled to wait on line to pay and the man taking payments at the bar began barking orders for everyone to move and hurry it up. I gently asked him to please not rush us as I've just fallen and can't risk it again. He looked at me in the same manner as our waitress and yelled I'm not rushing you, if I was you'd know it. The people at the bar were shocked as I was. I saw him trying to get tips from the people in front of me and I guess he somehow knew not to try that on us.
I would never go back there again even if they begged me and gave me a free banquet. I put off reviewing them b/c I want vegan places to stay in business but F them and their terrible treatment to paying customers.
Trust me and my 15 friends, go down the street to Brother Bon instead where staff always kind, patient, friendly and their food is delicious. Not to mention better prices.

Pros: Vegan, Vegan, Vegan

Cons: Sh*tty attitude, small portions, staff
