This sandwich is usually not something that is available vegetarian so i was curious to see the flavors and textures. The steak is chewy and meaty so if you are not a fan of faux meat then i would proceed with caution. I enjoy the cheeses here as they are unique and different from each other. The sandwich overall was okay though not my favorite sandwich ever. - smoked Mac and cheese (7/10): macaroni with smoked goat cheese, cheddar, mozzarella baked in a cast iron skillet and topped with vegan pancetta and breadcrumbs. This was a cozy appetizer especially on a cold day. The flavors of the cheese are rich and smoky with a hint of saltiness from the pancetta and breadcrumbs. I would have liked it to be a larger portion and offered as an entree. WOULD I GO BACK? Maybe. I liked the ambiance and the option to try dishes that are usually meat heavy but the cuisine is not my personal favorite.

I had a one off poor experience in this establishment. There was a Halloween event on the…read morepedestrian walk way in front of Pet Shop which I attended my kids and my kids friends. They were selling margaritas outside at this event. Me and another dad just finished our margaritas and decided to walk into Pet Shop with our empty plastic cups to see if they could make any to go drinks. We were greeted by Jessie at the empty bar. I told him "hey we have these plastic cups....any chance we can purchase to go drinks for the event outside." He said no...which was fine. But then he reached across the bar and snatched the cups out of our hands stating he could not let us walk out with the empty cups we came in with. He could have asked us to hand him the cups instead of grabbing it from us like that. We were stunned for a minute that that actually happened. So after that happened I asked if I can use the restaurant's bathroom. Jessie seemed annoyed...looked at us up and down and replied "the bathroom are for paying customers only." We took it as judgement as if the other dad and I were some kind of peasants. We ended up purchasing 2 margaritas at the bar in order to use the restaurant's bathroom. The margaritas were good and priced good($10 each). The business was empty. Wasn't like he was busy. The bartender Jessie was acting like an a**hole. You shouldn't work in the hospitality business if you lack basic customer service skills.

Great experience at Sentir. I posted up at the bar alone and was immediately greeted with friendly…read moreservice by the bartender. I ordered a drink and a chile relleno. The drink came out right away and was good, but expensive. The chile on the other hand was excellent and filling. The flavor was surprisingly unique and the impossible meat filled the pepper perfectly. The ambiance was cool, definitely date night energy. I'll be back!

Got two cocktails - the smoky Hedgehog Maize and the jalapeñoy De Vacaciones - at 50% off (so cost us $8.50 and $9.50, respectively). Service was great, the drinks were really nice. The Sentir Guac was quite tasty, lots of really fresh avocado. If in the neighborhood, try the happy hour.

Vegan Tapas?? Wooooow!!…read more This place is amazing great food, great vibe, wonderful people. and I don't have to feel like I've given anything up in terms of one of my favorite ways of eating before I became vegan. Lady Bird's Tapas is simply out of this world!

The general Tso dish was also pretty good. The arancini and mac were ok in my opinion. Service was pretty good. Wouldn't say it's the best vegan food I've had but I did enjoy it overall.

The interior (Photo 2) is gorgeous--warm lighting, beautiful tile work, and a bar setup that feels both upscale and cozy. It's the kind of place that works just as well for a date as it does for a solo lunch at the bar. We ordered the Nachos (Photo 1) and they were massive. The presentation in the colorful ceramic bowl is a nice touch, and they don't skimp on the toppings; the vegan chorizo and corn had a great kick. We also tried the Empanada, which was perfectly flaky and served over a bed of greens with some great dipping sauces. Pro Tip: Even if you aren't vegan, the flavors here stand on their own. Try to snag a seat by the window if you're people-watching in the village!

The food was amazing. I came here on the snowy Saturday evening trying to find a place I was welcome by the friendly staff. It is a fairly big place with many tables And I picked the table close to the corner as it was further away from the door. I started with the soup today and then I ordered the breakfast platter which has a little bit of everything. It was delicious. Jennifer was friendly and great and the food is fresh and tasty and I plan to come here again.

The food seemed fresh and prepared in house, and featured plenty of "low processed" options (ie stuff other than seitan or Beyond). The prices were high but the food seemed quite healthy.
