I was meeting a fellow vegetarian friend for dinner and we'd done Fresh to death so I recommended Fressen. Much to my surprise it was gone but Grasslands was in it's place. I arrived first and was the first person in the restaurant actually. I got us a table and ordered a glass of wine while I waited. Looking around the place has been remodeled since it's Fressen days and the cleanliness and decor was impressive.
The staff were friendly, funny and nice. Service was prompt and the food was great. I ordered the "crispy oysters" which were actually oyster mushrroms (very delish!) and my friend has the carrot, squash and ginger soup which was delicate yet hearty.
For the mains I has the fettucini and she had the beet salad of which I have posted pictures. I was impressed with the pasta and it's presentation. All in all it was excellent, my only complaints would be the music was a little too loud, as were the other table next to us. They seriously did not know how to use their indoor voices.
I forgot to mention how reasonable I found the bill to be. $60 + tip included appetizer, soup, salad and a main plus a glass of wine. Very reasonable!
