Finally an upscale vegan spot in sd

Great food, great ambiance, stellar service. Do not skip the table side Caesar. Everything was delicious, but I was slightly disappointed in the lions mane mushroom entre and the bolognese, they were good but not great.

Vegan Fine Dining!

My boyfriend and I are not usually fine dining people, but it was our anniversary — and since we love Kindred and Mothership, we figured why not. We had high expectations, and we were not disappointed. Even with a reservation, we waited about 15 minutes, but we grabbed a drink at DREAMBOAT to start the night, so we did not mind.

We ordered the pâté, French onion soup, steak, bolognese, and baked Alaska. Everything was delicious. I especially loved the French onion soup—it used to be my favorite before going vegan, and I had not had a vegan version before. The cocktails (as always with any of their spots) were fantastic.

As expected with fine dining, portions were on the smaller side and the prices were higher, but we still left feeling very full. The service was a little slow at times, but everyone was incredibly kind and attentive when they were around. The menu also had a decent mix of veggie-forward dishes and vegan “replacements.”

It is probably not somewhere we will go often due to the price tag, but we will definitely return. We had a wonderful evening!

vegan upscale dining at its best

Vulture is incredible and it’s just what San Diego needed. everything from the ambience to the food is perfect. the knickerbocker cocktail, rockefeller (which was served on fire), tableside caesar salad, chef’s special pasta (mushroom tortellini right now), lion’s mane diane steak, baked alaska, and brownie with ice cream were all excellent. my favorite was the diane steak, the flavor and texture was unreal. all the servers were attentive, welcoming, and kind. definitely a must try and i can’t wait to go back!

SUCH. A. VIBE

I mean come on, they never miss. Got a res for their soft opening weeks and it was immaculate. We tried a bunch of things and all of them were divine. The spinach artichoke “oyster” appetizer was so fun and such a cool take on a classic app. They light the lemon on fire with absinthe and the presentation was rad. Presentation and experience were the main theme here, from the speakeasy style entrance, to plate changes between courses and multiple options to be prepared table side. We got the table side caesar- they warned us was done in a queue so it would come at some point during our meal, if we wanted it coursed out they could prepare in the kitchen. We opted for the table side, our salad did unfortunately end up coming after our entree which was a little bummer BUT i’m sure a kink they’ll work out as time continues. Salad was great! we did the bolognese and my bf got the lions mane “steak” both were next level. We also had to try the “hashbrown” side which might be the best potato i’ve ever had. Texture was insane and the spicy sauce with it was so delish.
We can’t wait to come back and try everything else
