First time going to this vegetarian eatery. One word from us: YUMMY! Everything we ordered was delicious, evident by the empty plates for all.
Here's what we ordered:
Starters
-hot potato soup - reminded me of a beef and barley type soup but without the animal
-cold green soup - hints of Indian spice, mixed in with the coolness of sour cream
-1/2 order of nachos (although this could easily pass for a full order) - mound of warmly baked nachos, guacamole, light sour cream, corn nibblets, red peppers, small black beans
Entrees
-stuffed grilled portabello mushroom with small side salad. The mushroom was topped with goat cheese, a crumble of bread crumbs and must be a legume of sorts, that gave it all texture - one of my faves from last night.
-Hemp burger - served on a large bun, with cheese and tomato, one of the best and different veggie burgers in town!
-Sweet & Yukon potato poutine - served with a fabulous Indian and cinnamon bean sauce
-Large green salad - now you must wonder why we ordered the salad as a main: the description was so inviting and our little guy LOVES SALAD. This did not disappoint: it was a simple mixed green salad with shallots, but the best part was the vinaigrette with crushed fresh raspberries in it. This is the same vinaigrette used in the side for the portabello.
Dessert
-homemade brownie topped with ice cream and a chocolate sauce drizzled on top
-raspberry and pineapple cheesecake served in a mason jar was my piece de resistance.... we all fought over who could have the last spoonful!! The raspberry puree was fresh, the texture and temperature of the cheesecake was delightful.
Service & Decor
The service was excellent: it was our first time going here, and the waiter was extremely helpful and attentive, the staff continuously bringing us water. Par none service!
The decor is mix between contemporary (as another poster commented) with 'new' antiques. In the drawers of the tables are notes from previous patrons, ours included a note "Thank you for not eating me" and the person drew a pig. Really cute.
Bathrooms
I have always believed that you can tell alot about a restaurant by how clean their bathrooms are; these are very clean, the stalls are generous.
That's it for today but we will surely be going back for more!
