I was really looking forward to trying this all-vegetarian restaurant but I ended up a little disappointed. It has a nice ambiance and a lot of interesting food ideas – but it doesn’t quite deliver on taste. They start you off with pickled green beans which I’m not sure I would’ve accepted as an appetizer in another restaurant. We got the poblano-mung bean fritters which were quite good but basically tasted like any other fried veggie fritter. Our entrees weren’t bad but weren’t great and didn’t leave me full. We got dessert as well – I had the dark chocolate ganache. The chocolate part was great but it was drizzled with balsamic vinegar, coated with crumbled green tea leaves, and rested on a bed of what seemed like lime soaked ginger pieces. While the flavors went ok together the textures really did not. I preffered my boyfriend’s coffee gelato (from dolcezza I believe) and I don’t even like coffee. Anyway, I’d be willing to give the restaurant a second chance after its menu changes since I love the idea of the place, but my first trip left me less than impressed.
