| - Wow. I will not address what this was like in the past.
The new head chef, Beni Velà zquez, and his entire staff, have worked magic. A group of us sat down for dinner at one of their creatively designed tables (an artists palette), and were promptly attended to by Asia (who was fantastic the whole meal). One of our party is vegetarian, and so she started to look for options on the menu, and to our surprise there was a whole vegan menu. A large vegan menu I might add. It was such a surprise. It was a more elaborate menu of vegan options than are found at most vegan restaurants. Well, other than one crab appetizer, we decided to go vegan for our whole order. One vegetarian, three omnivores.
We ordered many different items, all vegan: mushroom pizza with a tapioca based cheese, salad, stuffed peppers, two different potato dishes, tempura deep fried artichoke hearts, and more. Wow. It was all fantastic, dare I say even as good as my favorite restaurant anywhere, Candle Cafe in NYC (vegetarian, mostly vegan). Chef Beni came out and talked to us for a while, their vegan utensils and items are kept completely separate from the normal items, the menu is designed entirely in house, it was just a fantastic overall experience. Vegas now has one of the best vegan options I have ever found. I can not wait to go back.
