| - I went to Eden last night with my girlfriend, and we had an amazing time! The ambiance was little date-like, but considering my company, it was fine. It's a pretty small, but cozy little space, the kind where the person eating next to you might ask what you're eating, but I personally like that.
So, the food: Since it was our first time there and being sort of unfamiliar with raw food, we decided to order the sampler plate that let's you try all 9 raw items on the menu (3 apps, 3 entrees, and 3 desserts) and one hot dish.
The sampler plate was simply amazing! There wasn't one thing I didn't like. Of the appetizers, my favorite was the curry salad. The curry flavor was just perfect, not too overpowering. And since there were apples in the salad, the sweetness really complemented the savory curry flavor. The beet ravioli was delicious as well. Of the entrees, my favorite was the vegetable "pizza." It was so crunchy and flavorful. My girlfriend really like the zucchini spaghetti. The sauce was delicious and the cashews really did taste like parmesan cheese. Now, the desserts. The desserts were OUT of this world! I could not get enough! I thought the raspberry cheesecake was the most delicious thing I'd ever tasted, but the coconut crumble and the mint chocolate were literally almost as delicious. We were both so so happy with the food. Definitely worth the $15 we spent on it.
We ordered the joloff rice as our hot dish, and it was really good as well. We ate every last bit. Often times peanut dishes are really dry, and after eating a bit, you just can't handle anymore. That was not the case with this dish. It was the perfect moisture and the flavor was oh so good.
On top of that, our server was just so super friendly and knowledgeable. Overall, we really just loved our dinner, and I would certainly recommend it to anyone interested in trying something different!
