| - Stopped in for a quick lunch before a movie at the iPic this weekend. They were pretty busy, but we were able to get a table outside immediately. I had peeked at the menu ahead of time and was glad to see a number of vegan options in addition to gluten free and vegetarian. The restaurant boasts an open kitchen where you see a dozen prep cooks working hard on a ton a fresh produce. The brunch menu (wknds 10am - 4pm) has an awesome variety of breakfast, salads, sandwiches, entrees, pizzas, sides and starters. They have fresh juice and lemonade concoctions in addition to a healthy cocktail and wine list. (I took a few pics of the menu for drink ideas at home!) I ordered the Mediterranean chopped salad, sans cheese to make it vegan. My taste buds were delighted with my selection! I forgot to ask the server what the greens were in my salad... they were the tops/greens of something, but I couldn't figure it out by taste. Whatever it was, it perfectly complimented the almonds, quinoa, cucumbers, grape tomatoes, kalamata olives, green beans and tomato-herb vinaigrette. I do lots of quinoa salads and this was a great one.
My boyfriend was a big fan of the chicken sausage pizza with fennel and fontina. Neither of us had room (or time) for dessert... Next time I go, I'm aiming to have their Kale-Aid juice as a dessert: Juiced kale, apple, cucumber, celery, lemon and ginger. Sounds so refreshing!!
