Best WLM Reviews

This was my first experience dining at an all-vegan restaurant. Wife and I arrived around 6 PM for early dinner.

The food left us both thoroughly impressed. If the Jam Taco has been overlooked as one of the top tacos in New York, have no doubts: it is undoubtedly one of the best you will find in this area of Brooklyn. I am excited to go back and try all the other tacos. We also ordered the Oyster Mushroom Fajitas and *wow* the texture was incredible and felt like very carefully cooked, tender chicken. I was surprised with how filling the meal was.

My only qualm would be cleanliness. The suede seating area is understandably annoying to clean but there were visible particles (food? dust? dirt?) on the cushioning of our seats. My wife’s glass was dirty as well.

Service was relaxed, not over-the-top happy, but still welcoming.

This place was what we thought a good vegan find in the area. A small group of us were seated late for our reservation but we were understanding on a busy weekend. The server had a very strange attitude and it felt uncomfortable the whole night. Maybe he had an off night.

They didn't tell us the kitchen was closed before I could order my friend some donuts for a surprise birthday treat. However, they ended up accommodating my request so thank you for that.

They just never seemed very friendly and that kinda ruined my experience. They asked for the check like three times but our friends weren't done eating yet and didn't put their cards in. It would've been fine if they said they were ending their shift if we didn't mind paying, but instead it felt as though they were rushing us. Apparently the place turns into a club at 11pm and since we were seated late, although outside, were rushed to finish.

The food was ok and the drinks were good. Nachos and tacos not as good as JaJaJa, but decent. Burritos I heard were yum.

Indoor seating required vaccination. Outdoor seating available.

Loved the vibe & music downstairs but the white male bartender in black beanie (4/27/2024) was EXTREMELY rude. He threw napkins to me when I asked for it and he was consistently ignoring me and my husband (FYI, we are Asian couple) even though he was right in front of us. We had to order our drinks from another bartender who was way farther than him. And checking my credit card statement, he charged us a lot more than what we actually got; I will have to contact them about this smh.

I don't wanna return to this place simply because of that rude bartender. Based on some reviews on Google, I think he's a racist and he needs to be fired.

Amazing place, even if you're not vegan. Loved every Taco I had (and I had all six on the happy hour menu). Drinks are great too. Will be back!!

This is a place for white people, plain and simple. The white male bartender with a beanie and mustache was VERY rude to me and my friend. We tried to order drinks and every drink we named he “didn’t have the ingredients” for. He rolled his eyes, talked to his friends at the bar in a polite friendly manor, and he even shared a phone call on his cell phone while ignoring us. He talked to us in a VERY short and intensely rude way all while ignoring our various requests for service. Security was very apologetic but I will NEVER come back here. Come here if you want dirty looks and terrible service. We were the only black women here and we we’re treated terribly. Stalls for the mens bathroom but only one toilet for women. Terrible music selection as well.

someone stole the phones of multiple people in the bar the night I went, and when all of us tried to ask them where to find our "lost" phones, they refused to acknowledge that they were clearly stolen (multiple people from several parties "lost" their phones) and did nothing to offer help in realistically tracking down the perpertator (no offer to look at any security tapes or help track down potential solutions to the issue). I get that they couldn't have found our phones for us, but they were unwilling to offer practical help in tracking down who stole them and quickly dismissed us when we tried asking them to help us. In an extremely frustrating solution, we were met with employees who simply couldn't be bothered to even answer follow up calls from friends asking if they had found the "lost" phones towards the end of closing.

Love that this place is 100% vegan. The food is great. The Strawberry 4 ways dessert was delicious. No matter what your meal is you have to have this Soo good.

5 stars all-around. It’s a pretty big place with indoor and outdoor seating + downstairs is a night club which brings artists from all over the world. On one of the nights in town, I had tacos and danced to a German DJ (name escapes me). It’s always a good time!
