Best Vegan Restaurants in Benjamin Van Clark Park

We had a fantastic dining experience at Cha Bella! From start to finish, everything was exceptional. We began with the focaccia, which was warm, perfectly seasoned, and paired beautifully with the accompanying spread. The grilled romaine salad was a fresh and flavorful twist on a classic, with a delicious char that added depth to every bite. For our entrées, we enjoyed the duck ragu and seared grouper—both were outstanding. The duck ragu was rich and comforting, with tender duck and a perfectly balanced sauce. The seared grouper was cooked to perfection—flaky, moist, and paired with fresh, seasonal accompaniments that elevated the dish. We finished with the key lime pie, which was the ideal sweet-and-tangy ending to our meal. A special thank you to Shawn, our server, who provided warm, attentive service throughout the evening. His knowledge of the menu and friendly demeanor made our experience even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for fresh, locally-sourced cuisine served with care, Cha Bella is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be back!

Atmosphere was nice although only 4 entrees items on menu. Food was top notch! So delicious. Server must have been new: she had to keep looking at our menus to see what we were ordering, didn’t ask how we liked our steaks done, didn’t offer the other side dishes (2 of us didn’t see that were alternatives!). I saw her on her cell phone frequently when she was in corner by register. We agreed we liked it but probably wouldn’t return.

Valentines dinner at Fitzroy was great! It was packed and had a very lively atmosphere. Our drinks were perfect. Beet salad to start and the ribeye special and brussel sprouts for main. We loved both sauces we got with the steak. Manager helped us choose an Italian brunello that was perfect. Thanks for a great night!

Our entrees were excellent. Chicken thighs were so good, and the salmon (I had it blackened), was very good. Service was great; attentive but not overbearing. Our server Megan was helpful and extremely friendly and very knowledgeable. We highly recommend B. Matthew’s.

We enjoyed EVERYTHING at Common Restaurant! Our server, Bryan was terrific - friendly and very efficient. We liked every single item on the Chef's tasting menu. The first item was 'bread and butter' - which might sound uneventful but I wish I could have it every day. It was slightly grilled and totally terrific. Following were excellent choices: our favorite was the short rib ravioli. and we preferred the hazelnut dessert choice over the panna cotta. The price was actually a great value! The hostess and bartender were personable and professional (sorry, can't recall their names - we remembered that the bartender had a boyfriend in the service). We had a wonderful evening, and would gladly return!
