I'd love to see pics here if anyone wants to link them!

This is making me so happy. We arrive Sept 1. I haven't shown my family pictures because I didn't think we had a decent shot of it being open. I think I'll have to show them tonight!

From a post on Twitter, apparently they have chocolate bread.

If anyone should have the good fortune to gain an opportunity to eat here (or even ask questions) in the near future:

I'd be very interested to know if they have ANY non-dairy and/or vegan options.

I'm coming to HHN w/ a Vegan friend in Sept. I really want to eat here, because it looks awesome. Even she likes the idea of a steampunk themed dessert restaurant, despite my warning her it may not be at all vegan friendly. So while we're both hoping it's open... it would be all the better for both of us if there were something she could actually eat here, and she didn't just have to sit there and watch me wolf down desserts. :/

It appears from staff outside the restaurant that the public soft opening will start Monday (August 22) at 4PM.

Everything is vegan when you're on vacation!

I'm trying to figure out what exactly chocolate bread is like....cake? brownie?

Can't wait to see the menu and hear some reviews....on our list for September!

So excited for this to open! We will be in Disney for Thanksgiving, but spending the Saturday after out of the parks and plan to stop in for some afternoon desserts!

I think just regular bread with chocolate in it.

Here's one pair of Twitter photos of the menu, though from the sign at the bottom, it's not clear if these will be the official menu: https://mobile.twitter.com/wewamiller/status/765714670061838336

No savory, vegetarian French toast plates. Pork belly on challah is sacrilege.

The inside looks nice but I'm sad to see that they kept the steam punk costuming on certain team members. I hope they rethink those or at least tone them down.

Why?

Let vegans (and vegetarians) worry about themselves. It's nice for omnivorous friends to care, but if they care more than the vegan/vegetarian cares, something has gone awry. If she wants to go with you, she'll either find something or she won't. If she can't handle it, she'll let you go on your own. (vegetarian since '90 here)

I guess I am getting old. Idk what steampunk is. I just googled it and still don't get it.

It`s a themed fun restaurant not to be taken seriously. They aren't trying to make any statements.

Strictly speaking, it's science fiction set in the Victorian era or using Victorian era technology, but it also means the associated visual aesthetic, based on Victorian era high tech. Lots and lots of gears and similar mechanics driven by steam powered engines. Lots of brass. A bit of Rube Goldberg, but using proper 19th century mechanics instead of whatever happened to be lying around. Driving goggles with 19th century uniforms.

"The Golden Compass" and "Hugo" (based on The Invention of Hugo Cabret) are steampunk movies. The former didn't do justice to the book, but both are worth watching.

I only have pics of the outside.

I finally snuck in and got a picture of the inside:

As a mod I can't say what I was thinking.......

And it's been themed as steampunk from the beginning?? Like I don't understand why the OP is upset, lol. Like I understand if they don't like steampunk, but don't be upset they didn't change something just cause you don't like it lol.

(I couldn't find the original post which is why I quoted you, Carole. Sorry)
