confidence 70%
Strongly trusted ·what tier A means

Multiple sources state that half the menu is vegan and there are plenty of plant-based options. The venue offers a vegan-friendly banquet menu. However, the kitchen is not fully dedicated vegan, as it serves meat and dairy dishes, so cross-contamination is possible. Staff are described as accommodating.
