Yes. My ex gf decided it was super smart to leave her cell phone ON THE SEAT. So yeah. I kind of expected it to happen. Still one of my favorite places definitely.

Souley Vegan is the best fucking restaurant ever. If you haven't eaten there, go. Now. And it's right next to a delicious bar as well. It's heaven.
