| - Some family recently came to town, so I decided to give the dining room another shot. I thought Legume would have items that would appeal to everybody. I made a reservation a couple of days ahead, at which point I informed them that I am vegan. The veg item on the menu the night of our visit was an egg and corn based crepe filled with ricotta and some greens. Two from our party ordered that and their reaction was like, "eh, it's ok." Since nothing on the menu was vegan and my advance notice was ignored (as usual), I had to ask if they could make me something special. I also ordered a salad, omitting the cheese that was intended to be in it. The salad was roasted red peppers, tomatoes and greens (it was supposed to also have pea shoots, but they forgot to put them on mine); fresh, but nothing extraordinary. My "special" dish was a small portion of pasta (undercooked) with the same roasted red peppers, tomatoes and greens; no sauce, no herbs - very plain, and hey, way too reminiscent of the salad I had JUST hardly enjoyed. I am extremely disappointed by the lack of innovation here. To make matters worse, I very slowly chewed on my extra chewy pasta hoping that our server would come by so that I could send my meal back, but he never came to check on us, so I kept on chewin' until it became apparent to us that we were running late to the theater and to him that it was time for our check.
