  • Save room for dessert on this review. * * * This is a vegan restaurant with lumberjack portions. One meal here and you will not have to eat again all day. Individual dishes range between four and five stars. I had an absolutely first rate vegan chili - with soy cream and lots of garnishes and a lot of high quality tortilla chips. The bowl was the size of half a bowling ball. The chili substantially exceeded Texas chili standards - and I should know being a Texan. Vegan chili has no meat and meat is the essence of a successful chili. Most vegan chili has to work hard to qualify for "that's nice dear". This was the real Texas stuff and was a downright pleasure to eat Even if no cow was actually hurt in the making of this production. * * * My wife's Thai bowl was just okay. This was another half-bowling-ball bowl filled with grains, tempeh, and vegetables cut too large to conveniently get in your mouth and eat. Flavor? Meh. * * * A first course of gazpacho was better than Health Food Store Gazpacho and worse than Barcelona Gazpacho. Nearly every health food store makes a gazpacho in the summer, and they may as well call it "Cold and Insipid Tomato Soup - But Eat It - Its Good For You". This was better than that. It had good tomatoes. It had personality. It had its own non-standard taste. (I suspect a serrano pepper was lurking in the background). It had cilantro which I personally can't stand. But the vegan at the table who came with me to insure fair judgment of cilantro dishes Told me that - even giving the cilantro a break - the soup wasn't that great. Give it a B. * * * Now for the accomplishment of this kitchen. Dessert. One of the dishes is a chocolate apple cake. This is a purely vegan cake with zucchini as a binder and flaxseed taking the place of egg. There are a lot of vegan restaurants that try dishes of this ilk. The result tends to be a sodden heavy mess. In contrast, this was an intriguing fascinating dessert. The apple taste was very subtle but it was there, giving the cake lightness and personality. The cake was delightfully moist. It had fascinating flavor. Is it as good as a cake from the finest patisserie in Paris? No. But it leaves Moosewood and Rainbow Collective and Casa de Luz cakes far back in the pack. I admire the technical skill of the baker of working out the exact proportions of these recondite ingredients to make the cake a textural and flavor success. * * * So if you need to eat your healthy vegetables, this is a great place to do it. Zucchini in your main course. Zucchini in your dessert.
