It's bright, open, and inviting with plenty of seating. Secondly, staff are very friendly and helpful! And thirdly, their food is amazing! I'm not vegan but their food is genuinely delicious. We ordered the loaded nachos, chicken parm sandwich, and the sweet sassy molassey sandwich, chocolate mint milkshake and a green tea. The half order of loaded nachos was generous in size and toppings! It was filling without being heavy. All of the ingredients were fresh. Probably one of my top loaded nachos ever. The chicken parm sandwich was also amazing! If I didn't know this was a vegan restaurant, I would not have known that the chicken was not meat. It had the texture of perfectly cooked chicken. The stretch bread was soft, the marinara was warm and perfectly seasoned. 10/10 sandwich. The sweet sassy molassey was also quite good! Very bright, filled with vegetables and deliciously seasoned tofu. Finally, the milkshake! I would have never guessed it was vegan. It was creamy, minty, and chocolatey - like drinking thin mints! I'm determined to squeeze in more visits here before they close!

It's a great place to sit with friends or even to sit with your work computer. 100% recommend - once you go, you'll just keep going back. (Chicken salad sandwich is my favorite so far!)

If we weren't heading to a concert after, we definitely would've stayed all night. Super friendly bartenders and great service. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!

The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, perfect for a casual dinner or a laid-back drink after a long day. The menu is full of delicious food and drink options, and we've yet to be disappointed. If you go, you have to try the burrata. It's our absolute favorite and a must-order every time. Whether you're a local or just passing through, The Evergreen is a fantastic choice for amazing service, great food, great drinks, and an easygoing vibe.

For drinks they have a good selection of beers on tap, usually 10-20, from local and national breweries. The server offered me a sample before I fully committed on a beer I had a question about and I appreciated being able to try it before committing to a full glass. The Evergreen's menu itself is accessed through a QR code where their full list of options and specials are listed. My group opted to share the beer fries and they were taaaasty, pillowy soft, crunchy, and amazingly well seasoned. The vegetarian options are a regular part of the restaurant and the fried tofu I had was genuinely satisfying and well done. My cajun pasta was maybe a touch over but I was okay with it since it had my condiment obsession of chili crisp in it. The menu is well marked for dietary needs. A great thing of note is that they have women's, men's, AND an all-gender bathroom. I appreciate the inclusion in the food and restaurant itself. Car parking is street parking, it's accessible via the Centro bus system, and there is an artistic broken-chain shaoed bike rack just across the street from the restaurant. My group was happy with the prices and service for an early Wednesday dinner in a wintry March.

The menu is small but full of delicious options. I tried one of their specials. It was a really great sandwich, but I think it would've been a truly amazing sandwich had the fried chicken been hot. I ordered and then received my order in less than a minute which didn't give the impression that it had been made fresh. Not an issue for me, but I wish it had been hot - it would have been off the charts cause it was still good cold. Plus fried chicken cold is just a little odd. I also tried one of their apple bites which was tasty and totally worth it for $1.50 They have some tasty looking soup options as well that you can find on their website as they rotate frequently would recommend an excited to come back!

The meatball was incredible (and large) and the sauce of this pasta, while it had a little heat to it, was well seasoned and smooth. Great chill place with an awesome playlist of oldies music and the opportunity for indoor and outdoor scenic views.

We had dinner reservations elsewhere but were downtown early and were looking for a drink before dinner. We tried our usuals and the bar at each place was full. Believe it or not, there 2 seats at Pastabilities. The bar was comfortable and the inside was dark and cool. We sat and were greeted by a very jolly bartender who took great care of us. We ordered our usual (Manhattans). They were awesome. He offered us some bread and sauce to go with the drinks and we said sure - outstanding bread and the sauce was awesome. We ordered a salad with burrata and tomatoes which was also excellent. We had a great visit even though it was a short one. Why 4 stars? We are visiting again in October and our bartender helped us secure a dinner reservation. I figured I'd save the five star for that.
