The complimentary focaccia in brown bag bread service is a really nice and unexpected touch. Went with the gnocchi bolognese and had zero regrets. Both the pasta and the sauce were on point. Shout out to Lucas who provided excellent service throughout a busier lunch crowd. Equally good for solo dining, catching up with friends, date night, or family outing. Also, they have a true vegan friendly menu - not just a plate or two. Definitely check them out.

Absolutely phenomenal experience at Civico 1845! Arturo was our bartender and he was fantastic --…read moreattentive, knowledgeable, and made the whole evening even better. We started with the focaccia bread and in-house made pesto, and it was delicious -- you could tell right away they use quality ingredients. Next came the calamari, which was fresh and perfectly cooked, not drowned in batter like so many places do. Will definitely be ordering that again. For the main course, we had the Rigatoni Giancaleone, which was amazing. The pancetta was well balanced and didn't overpower the sauce at all -- just a perfectly executed dish. Can't recommend this place enough. Go see Arturo at the bar if you want great service to match the great food!

Amazing Plant-Based Food with Great Flavors!…read more We had a wonderful dining experience at Plumeria! Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. We started with the appetizer platter, Tom Kha soup with chicken, and the duck with beans, which was served almost like a lettuce wrap appetizer. We also had the red curry with tofu and egg noodles with chicken. Every single dish was packed with flavor and tasted amazing! What makes this restaurant even more impressive is that it's completely plant-based. You honestly don't miss the meat at all! The flavors, textures, and variety of dishes were excellent. Service was quick and efficient, which made the experience even better. My only suggestion would be to serve the Tom Kha soup hotter and place a candle or warmer underneath the pot. Without it, the soup cooled down pretty quickly, which took away a little from an otherwise delicious dish. Overall, a fantastic experience with flavorful food and great service. Whether you're vegan or not, Plumeria is definitely worth trying. We would happily return!

Pumpkin curry was delicious as well. The fake meat was well done too. Generous amounts of veggies that have been very well cooked in all of the dishes.

Mango sticky rice was not up-to the mark and another dessert we ordered was just milk with floating tapioca balls.

So, it was AI that landed me here for lunch this past weekend. I asked for suggestions of places…read morethat focused on authenticity - not trendy. This topped the list. I was dreading parking but somehow, only went around the block once and found parking less than half a football field away. I can only guess at how bad it would be during the lunch and dinner rushes. It was metered parking but it was Sunday and IYKYK. Otherewise, read the sigs and be ready to feed the meter. Service was patient and warm. Wondered if it was a one man crew as our server, host and cashier was one person. He would be there and then he wouldn't. Left me wondering if he was also cooking or at least helping in the back of the house. It wasn't busy - my friend and I were one of three parties/tables. Not that we needed much but there was a moment when we wanted more injera ... which leads me to the food. The injera was nice and spongy - great since it's all hands on deck, no utensils. If you've never had this cuisine, know that the injera is like your plate and your utensil. Use it to soak up and grab the veggie and meat dishes but just be aware, you eat too much of it too fast, and it'll fill you up just as fast. The dishes are on the mild side as far as being spicy. I would have loved it spicier however my friend doesn't handle heat but the flavors made up for compromise of not ordering fire. We weren't able to finish it all and couldn't bring it to go as we were on the road from LA but would have gladly taken it for leftovers for another time. I would have added more seasoning and some heat to tickle my taste buds. Don't read into that - that it wasn't good - I do also appreciate when places favor less which allows me to add because if it's too heavily seasoned, diluting certain dishes is tricky and in some cases not worth it IMO. Note: if you've had this cuisine before, know that Muzita does Entrees - not combo's. One or two orders and you should be good.

Surprisingly short wait for a Sunday around lunch time, I thought more people would have been here…read moredining in, but maybe with the start of football season everyone was out and about trying to find the game. There is so much space for seating no matter the party size. We had 5 in our group and more than enough space. Tables were bused regularly nothing sat on the table for too long. The food quality was pretty good considering the volume a buffet cooks in. We didn't have a bad bite anywhere and there were plenty of land, air and sea options for all dietary needs. Price was higher for weekend service but it was worth stopping in after a morning of moving furniture around,

We thought that coming for lunch on Saturday right when it opened at 12 PM was the good call, but…read moreit was not quite on the mark. Roast duck was overcooked with a bad acrid smell, and it didn't have that oily crispy layer that you normally would get when it is fresh. All the dim sum looked like it was sitting in the steamers for a while, crab legs were overcooked so it came apart mushy instead of flaky. What happened? I'm guessing that they made all the food early in preparation for opening, but all of food tasted like it sat out for hours. The things that turned out fine, were the oysters, sushi and sashimi, and the prime rib that turned out to be rare.

EGGROLL BURGER!! Incredible. The patty tastes like pork and napa eggroll filling. The crispy wonton…read morechip is a great add. The sauce is special. It reminds me of an ebi (shramp ) burger. Top 5 burger ever for me. Like ever. Lemme think about the list actually... In n out, for the win, fathers office, w&m burger (Hawaii), and yeah. Kindred's Eggroll Burger. I'm happy with that list as my top 5. I'd recommend adding a side OR do what we did and get the doom bloom. Doom bloom also so yummmm. Bunch of different mushrooms, tempura battered and fried. The yuzu in the dipping sauce takes it to the next level. My wife had the warlock bowl. Every individual thing was prepared well and tasted good. The kale was nice and crispy and the texture blend is perfect. Service is amazing. Super friendly waitress. No AC usually doesn't matter but we're in the middle of a heat wave so it's worth noting. Super cool dark Gothic look to the place. Didn't try their dranks though.

I love the open air concept!! Love it!! But the flies were intrusive and there was an odd smell coming from the bar which we brought tour waitress attention. it was pretty strong all of a sudden, my friend was grossed out, she stated due to their small kitchen there was nothing she could do about it. She was absolutely lovely, my friend ended up having the Carmel cheesecake- yummy! & we headed out. Overall would absolutely come back and highly recommend. For all of what we ordered, my friend believe got a soda as well... $85 - insanely cheap for the quality and experience

As first-timers, we weren't sure what to order, but the young woman at the front (sorry we didn't catch your name!) was incredibly welcoming. She took the time to walk us through the menu, offered thoughtful recommendations, and made us feel like regulars. That's what great customer service looks like. We ended up ordering the Asada Fries and the Fuego Burger. When our food arrived, we both looked at each other like, "Okay...this is about to be good." The presentation was on point, and thankfully, the flavors lived up to the hype. Let's just say the fries didn't stand a chance. As a business owner myself, I know that great customer service is what keeps people coming back. Pair that with delicious food, and you've got a winning combination. We'll definitely be making Evolution Fast Food a must-stop on our next trip to San Diego. Until then, we'll be dreaming about those Asada Fries!

Anyone with some dietary restrictions will appreciate the vegan options galore! I tried the enchilada trio ($19) which had a fantastic mole enchilada. Great flavor and the right amount of spice. My husband tried the steak street tacos ($17) which tasted great and he was pleasantly surprised. They seem to have a great happy hour special but we were a tad early for that. I did try a margarita ($8) which was a perfect compliment to the meal. There was only one waitstaff but she was beyond attentive. Definitely recommend for quality, reasonably priced Mexican in the area ESPECIALLY if you are vegan or dairy free or even vegetarian!
