We were so excited to find a restaurant that caters to vegans, vegetarians, and pescatarians. We are pescatarians. We don’t deny we’ve missed meats and have cravings still. We have definitely missed a good Philly Cheesesteak. We had heard of the vegetarian version made with...portobello mushrooms, but didn’t know if it would satisfy the craving. We both ordered the cheesesteak and it did not disappoint. Absolutely delicious! The mushrooms had been marinated and the flavor was outstanding. The peppers and onions were spot on. It was so good that we will now be left craving it because we aren’t locals. Staff was very friendly too.More

This place is so cozy with friendly quick service and incredible food. The bbq bowl and coconut pineapple bowl are huge with tons of fresh fruit & vegetables, perfect rice, and the tofu & jackfruit are seasoned to perfection. Easily could feed 2 to 3...people with one bowl. The macaroni and cheese with vegan cheese sauce is exactly what we hoped for. Creamy, “cheesy”, and the noodles still had a good chew. Again a huge bowl which could easily feed 4 kids! We also tried the bistro burger, and the texture & seasoning were absolutely perfect. Our family has had a lot of beyond meat burgers, and this is by far the best we’ve ever had. Held together perfectly, nice chew. Cannot recommend Veg enough! We will be back for sure, although we have enough leftovers to feed us for a few days !!! So it will seem maybe a little pricey but once you see how big the portions are you will know what a deal you’re getting.More

My husband and I are locals and vegetarian. We wanted to try this restaurant out but we’re nervous about trying it out since we are both skeptical about vegetarian meals that may be super high in fat and calories. We were so pleasantly surprised. I...got the fajitas and my husband got the Silly Philly. DELICIOUS! The portabella mushrooms are marinated in the chef’s own steak sauce. My husband’s sandwich was made with vegan cheese and was really good! Both meals came with the choice of soup, salad or fries. The salad with the citrus dressing was awesome! I highly recommend this quaint little restaurant with very fresh and delicious food for anyone!More

Small place but food is well worth the try. Food is fresh, made to order and cooked perfectly. Service was awesome. The Buffalo cauliflower was the best I’ve ever had.

We stumbled on the restaurant when in the Gateway Ave area. The buffalo cauliflower was outstanding! I also had a portobello volcano and I did not enjoy it. It was too much mix of savory and sweet.( I think it would be better with plain...white potatoes.) I will return and try some other items. The pick up was easy although we had to go in and get the food.More

Salmon was bland😢 First time here and ordered the noodle vegetable entree with salmon. The chef left the skin on and put skin side down right on the entree. After taking my first bite I realized that I’d need to remove the skin, yuck!!! Dish...wasn’t average and I don’t know if I’ll give this place a second change.More

They serve the impossible (plant based) burger. They grill it which is the best way to present it. I love their scallops. They generally offer de caffeinated ice tea, with fruit flavours, a favorite of mine. I especially love both their fish specials and their...salads. My last salad eaten there was a Caesar salad with fresh seared ahi tuna.More

This is a very unassuming place, looks a little bit more like a café but I was surprised at the quality and the presentation of the food. Looking for dairy free and gluten-free food this good? A real challenge No, not cheap. But I’ve been...to a lot of restaurants in Sarasota that also we’re not cheap And the food was disappointing. Not here. (GF)Grilled Mahi-Mahi Tacos-22.99 Three corn tortillas filled with Gulf caught Mahi Mahi, cabbage, pineapple & salsa fresca (GF)Sesame Plum Salmon-23.99 wild Salmon glazed with a sweet & savory Japanese Sesame Plum Sauce. The fourth had a vegan burger. It was a lot of food, but it was on bread? As you can see in the photo. I thought it was funny but she thought it was fabulous .She took half home We had a gluten-free and dairy free dessert that was insane. It had chocolate brownie that was a really nice texture I thought covered with coconut-based vanilla ice cream? And chocolate syrup. Yes I know it sounds ordinary. IT WAS NOT!! I shared it with my friend But when my other two friends saw our eyeballs rolling, they wanted a bite. I didn’t want anyone else to take any. When I said do you want a bite?

Cute little place. There was only one waitress. She was really nice, but they clearly needed someone to help her. As a vegan, I was thrilled to find a place close to where we were saying that had vegan options and I wasn’t disappointed with...the Impossible Club! The Black Mango Ice Tea was really great too. My friend got a Watermelon Cucumber Sangria and it was really yummy. She also got some fudge to go and when we tried it later, I wish I had bought some. It was AMAZING!!More

I went to Veg for lunch today and ordered shrimp tacos. They were less than ok. The smallish shrimp fall out of the taco.. I like a messy taco, but this was too messy. Worst of all was the shrimp texture. It was dry, chewy...and a lot like cardboard... had to be over cooked too be this dry. The taco dressing/aioli was bitter. I did love the crunch of the cabbage and the the soft corn tortilla. We were so hungry, we ate most of our food despite the cardboard shrimp. I spoke to the waitress twice. Once, about 15 minutes after we had ordered (my daughter was starving and was hoping for a packet of crackers), ... “it’s coming...” was her reply... and then again at the end of the meal where I told her about the shrimp.... her reply asked if we wanted to see a desert menu? I sooo wanted to love this place. Small, cozy, good menu with vegan options. If you put a shrimp taco on your menu, deliver juicy, plump decent sized shrimp, and tasty dressing.More

We enjoyed dinner in this restaurant. It is small, cozy place. As the name implies, it is vegetarian friendly with several choices on the menu. We had the Veg Tower and the Portobello Volcano. Excellent choices. Service was very good. Definitely worth a visit. The...only downside is that the restrooms could use some attention.More
