| - VegeNation is my new favorite vegan/vegetarian/everything restaurant in Las Vegas! Food is fresh, flavorful, and reasonably priced -- and you even get a really nice atmosphere and booze to boot!
My husband Joe L. and I visited for brunch on our last day in LV before heading home from an action-packed weekend. We had wanted to come for dinner the night before but they were experiencing a power outage due to a bad storm that had just dumped buckets of rain on the area along with thunder and lightning. Someone from the restaurant was nice enough to call me on my cell to inform me what was going on, and we were able to cancel our reservation without problem.
When we walked into the restaurant on a Sunday afternoon, I was immediately impressed with the decor and vibe: tons of plants hanging from the ceiling, long wooden tables, nice decor, and a mellow but hip atmosphere. Yup, it definitely felt more hip than hippie to me, and that made it feel more upscale and quaint. Apparently they also have a beautiful outdoor patio, but there was a private party going on so we didn't get to see it on the day we visited. There was also a talented singer/guitarist performing which provided good if not a bit too loud entertainment and ambiance.
Our server was so sweet, helpful, and friendly, and we were quickly hooked up with a large French press pot of delicious coffee. I ordered off-menu (thanks, Yelp!) chicken and waffles and hubby got the meatball grinder. We also ordered a save the tuna roll as an appetizer.
As we were waiting for our food, gorgeous plates of pizza, sandwiches, salads, and other items passed us by making us even hungrier. As soon as our save the tuna rolls came, we quickly devoured them. They were flavorful yet light, and each one was topped with what I think was described as a smoked carrot puree. It was creative, beautiful, and very good.
Our main courses came out shortly after. The meatball grinder was phenomenal! The meatballs were chewy and meaty, and the tomato sauce was perfectly seasoned. The crispy yet chewy roll was toasted just right, and the whole thing was topped with melted parmesan cheese. I would think any meat eater would be happy eating this sandwich, and it hit all the right spots for a vegetarian like me. Sandwich perfection, indeed!
The chicken and waffles was another winner. The fluffy waffles were smeared with a spicy chipotle (I think) mayo and topped with large crispy chicken pieces. It was served with the requisite cup of maple syrup. Talk about hearty food! I could barely eat 1/4 of this dish because it was so filling and satiating.
We were ready to call it quits but had already taken advantage of the sweet Yelp check-in deal of a free sundae. Seriously, who can say no to free ice cream?? It too was awesome! Topped with a crunchy toffee or granola of some kind and drizzled with syrup and fruit, it was the perfect ending to a wonderful meal. Thanks VegeNation for elevating vegan dining in LV to an outstanding experience!
