Delicious nut-cheese plate-- their cheese are pate style, and they have surprising flavor combinations that are really rich and lingering. (Macadamia nut cheese with lemon-herb was my favorite.) Excellent service. My entree was slightly blander than expected-- meaning it was great but I had incredibly high expectations-- but the texture was so perfect that it made up for it. (Chickpea crepes with kale-- the kale was a perfect mixture of crisp and soft, and the crepes were toothy and just right.)

Pecan pate plate. Say that three times because you are going to want to return three time to eat it again. I love this place.

The food here is excellent! Service is reasonably quick and courteous. I found the place to be a bit pricey for what you get, but it is definitely a good option if you are looking for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or all three! Very inventive dishes. Also, don't be afraid of the non-dairy cheeses -- they are delicious! They used to have excellent cornbread, but no longer, unfortunately. This place does accept reservations, and it was packed for a Wednesday night, so if you have a large-ish party and/or don't like to wait, just call ahead. We arrived half an hour before our assigned time, but they were more than happy to accommodate us.

The best vegetarian food I have add in the U.S. Great ambiance and excellent wines too. We had dinner there three times in a couple weeks and we are addicted to the place. I especially recommend trying the Pecan Pate!

Loved the gnocchi and the ice cream sandwich. More of a romantic date night kind of place.
