Chive Kitchen - Table reservation

I ate here pre-pandemic and enjoyed my meal so much we returned the next day. The next time I was in town we returned and I ordered the Reuben Sandwich and it was bread literally soaked in grease with some stuff in the middle. I got my bf a dish to go and it was a greasy pile of zero flavor. Something with artichokes and rice. We've been back in town for a couple months and avoided Chives but decided to give them another try tonight. Big overpriced mistake. The chocolate beet cake is still good but our meals were unimpressive and left us very hungry. We're not coming back. I suggest Chives go try a Chicago Diner Reuben to learn how good a vegan sandwich can be...and they have a cookbook (The Chicago Diner Cookbook) so maybe they could buy it for inspiration. For any Vegans, if The Fuel ever reopens, I suggest going there, Seva or one of the many Middle Eastern or Indian places. Skip this place. It's like throwing money in the garbage. I'm so sad because this used to be a favorite spot I looked forward to going to.

we love an all vegan restaurant. i was glad to find something in the area with so many vegan options. and once i saw they had a vegan banana pudding I was in. Unfortunately the food didn't hit as hard as I was expecting but it was still good. My mom ordered a salad which it looks like they pull from the premade section upfront. her carrots were moldy so we ended up splitting my dish. the girl working at the counter gave me a free dessert which was so kind of her. i got the soul bowl. fried artichokes, mac n cheese, collards, sweet potato, and coleslaw. The fried artichokes were good and a cool concept. The collards desperately needed some seasoning/salt but the slaw was realllllly good. the banana pudding was good but the whip cream was little too salty. at the end of the day I will always support an all vegan restaurant but I do not think chive would be my first choice in the future. I am open to trying other items though.

I hosted my work holiday party at Chive Kitchen. Suzy is amazingly easy to work with--picking the menu, arranging for food restrictions, and other arrangements. Food at Chive is always phenomenal--I am addicted to the fried artichoke po' boys! Service was warm and prompt. Everyone felt cared for. My staff (even the carnivores) all loved their lunch and all were talking returning with their own families. Definitely the right choice!

Cute place and conveniently located, however, food was so so. Found the menu to be somewhat limited, and on the higher end of pricing. Too, hours can be somewhat limited.

Always go back for the Rubin and Beet Cake! Very cool place for any meal. The bowls with fried artichokes are amazing
