The restaurant said the following Monday:
“Although ultimately not financially successful, we were extremely successful in numerous other ways -- in creating an amazing space for our community, a fully house-made hand-crafted vegan meat program, a world class vegan bakery program, a reliable daily solution for guests at every different step on their journey towards veganism, and at times over-the-top hospitality to create some amazing experiences.”
