Trinity Hall Irish Pub (Closed)

Category: Vegan Friendly 

Website

Overall Rating: 9

Food: It was very tasty! Their menu went through an update. They added more vegan entrees and a vegan dessert. It took about average time for our food to arrive. This time around, they had more of a variety in their vegan menu (Take a look at the pictures below!)

Customer Service: Service was good. They were consistent with refilling our beverages and keeping an eye on our table. Our waiter in particular was funny and took time to talk and joke with us which is a plus. Unfortunately, we did have an incident where a burger that was brought to us had cheese on it instead of vegan cheese. Both the veggie outer that ordered it and the waiter caught it but since they were notified that we’re a vegan meetup group trying their vegan options, it is a negative in this section. Everything else was exceptional.

Atmosphere: It was the same as the 1st time we went.  To view the commentary on the atmosphere, visit our 1st review at here.

Overall: The boost the menu received added to our experience. The employees were very friendly. It is advised that vegans double check just to make sure no dairy has been mistakenly added to their food. Overall it was and still is a good experience.

Spiral Diner Meetup (Closed)

Location: Spiral Diner (Oak Cliff)

City: Dallas

Overall Rating: 8.9

Website

Overall: A number of items that are normally seasonal or only offered at certain times of the year are now permanent on the Spiral menu. Some of these include buffalo nachos, mac & cheese, and diced baked fries. The menu had almost 2 page worth of new pages of food to pick from. The food was as good as it was the 1st time around except there was a greater variety of choices in entrees and desserts. To view their full menu, visit here. Since this is a revisit , the atmosphere and customer service for the most part is the same as the 1st visit. One thing to note though is that this time around, the customer service was VERY fast at bringing our food and dessert out. It literally took minutes to get our dessert and not too long to get our entrees. For further details about the service or atmosphere, see our 1st review at this link.

Amsterdom Falafelshop (Closed)

Overall we enjoyed ourselves at Amsterdom falafelshop. The falafel offered was very tasty and had a uniqueness that we hadn’t experienced when eating falafel offered at other restaurants. We also agreed that they had a lot of vegan friendly seasonings and sauces that could be added to the falafel that were dairy free (That’s always a plus). The atmosphere was good. We also noticed the music in the background was a mix of genres, making for an engaging experience. At times it was a little loud but nothing that broke the overall experience. Customer service was the best we have seen at a restaurant yet. They were very accommodating both when we setup the reservation and during the actual meetup.  The staff was consistent on making sure we were taken care as a group and treated us with cutesy and respect. All these factors combined make them a strong candidate for revisiting! For more details, check out the video review above.

Goji Cafe (Closed)

Location: Goji Café

City: Dallas

Overall Rating: 8.3

We all enjoyed both the appetizers and entrees we each individually ordered.  Orders ranged from veggie wraps and strips, to burgers. We were impressed by the quality of vegetables used in dishes such as the summer rolls. The vegetables tasted very fresh, which is always good as it shows they haven’t been lying around a while. The atmosphere was very quiet and soothing with calming music playing in the background. It is definitely a change of pace from what we’re used to, but it’s a change we favored. Customer service was pretty consistent all night long and our food wasn’t spaced out. Each of us got our entrees around the same time, and it didn’t take too long. Overall we enjoyed ourselves and defiantly will come back! For more details, check out the video review above.

Genghis Grill (Addison)

Location: Genghis Grill (Addision)

Category: Vegan Friendly

Rating: 7.8

Food: Food was outstanding! They allow you to build your own bowl from a variety of seasonings, rice, or meat substitute and vegetables. They cleaned the grill prior to the stir frying of our dishes so we could get a 100% Vegan bowl without any commingling with any animal products. We tried out the tofu and picked from the seasonings and sauces that were vegan. Needless to say we had a field day! Given that the quality of taste is directly related to a person’s seasoning skills, we got mixed results about the taste ranging from full 10s to 7s. For the most part, we all enjoyed the combinations that we individually came up with.

Customer service: The service wasn’t bad but it could have been better. The service we had did subtract from the experience. While he was accommodating in explaining the process of making your own bowl. Our table was left unattended a good while of the night and when we were served, he sometimes miscounted how many of us there were, not bringing enough for everyone at that time. That aside, the service was acceptable.

Atmosphere: Even though the restaurant was packed, we could still hear each other talk. It had a few TVs up on the walls, giving it a somewhat sports bar feel.  There wasn’t anything that particularly stood out but there was nothing wrong either.

Overall: We all enjoyed the fact that you more or less you could control how your tofu tasted via sauces and seasonings. The overall atmosphere reflects the style of the food and servings. The service could have been better overall. Will it remain on the menu for us to return? Yes, although most of us could agree that better service would be wanted.
