    We had another lovely dinner at Twelvemonth. We love the maitake mushrooms! but these were a little cold which makes a huge difference in taste and texture. Missed the Carrot curry as it was not on the menu at this time. Love that the all the food is vegan. That being said some dishes are just okay and others are great. The Not Paella and Tamales were great. The coffee was almost lukewarm. The location is close to parking, quiet comfortable surroundings, and attentive service. Wasn't as big a hit as our last visit.

    I went here for Valentine's Day and the experience was fabulous. The attentive service was superb and the Filipino lady who greeted us was so friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed the chicken sandwich, one of the better sandwiches I've had in a long time. Also, the Korean steak had lots of flavor and was delicious. We ended the meal with the lava cake which added the perfect touch. Of course, we will be back again! Thanks for the great meal!
