| - If this place had been in Vegas 20 years ago I might not have given it up being a vegan. If you like raw vegan food, this restaurant will not disappoint.
The food is fresh and good. It has that wonderful clean smell of a vegan restaurant that serves green juices.
The atmosphere was very laid back, relaxed and casual. It's a small, casual place with a homey feel. The waitress had a calm, gentle demeanor. She was very helpful without being intrusive. She didn't breathe down our necks, or interrupt our meal. The food was served promptly.
I had the vegi coti and the #2 juice, and took the gimme the beat burger home to my husband. My friend had a salad and a smoothie. We finished with delectable carob pie. I thought it would be good but it was much better than I expected.
The food was not salty, over processed, frozen and heated, or greasy. The flavor came from authentic fresh ingredients. It's my new favorite place to eat out.
One tip I can offer to first time diners if you aren't accustomed to raw vegan food - don't compare it to what your normally eat. Don't expect the pizza to tasted like a typical pizza. They don't use the same ingredients or prepare things in the same way. Vegan restaurants go by a different set of standards and should be judged by those standards.
Update: Loved it so much I went back yesterday, this time with my family. My husband ordered the purple burrito, my son ordered the American pizza and I ordered the beet burger. We each ordered a different delicious smoothie with our meals. I told my son in advance - "Don't expect it to taste like what you are used to." We all tasted from each others plates. We all loved all three plates, although my son didn't like the crust of the pizza. It's raw vegan flatbread, and even though my husband and I loved it because it has a wonderful nutty flavor that compliments the fresh toppings, my son prefers a traditional pizza crust.. Unless you already appreciate raw vegan food, you might want to order items that don't have a crust.
Before we left we picked up a cookbook so that we can attempt some raw vegan meals at home. We can't wait to return to Go Raw Cafe!
