  Pecan pate plate. Say that three times because you are going to want to return three time to eat it again. I love this place.

  Loved the gnocchi and the ice cream sandwich. More of a romantic date night kind of place.

  Delicious nut-cheese plate-- their cheese are pate style, and they have surprising flavor combinations that are really rich and lingering. (Macadamia nut cheese with lemon-herb was my favorite.) Excellent service. My entree was slightly blander than expected-- meaning it was great but I had incredibly high expectations-- but the texture was so perfect that it made up for it. (Chickpea crepes with kale-- the kale was a perfect mixture of crisp and soft, and the crepes were toothy and just right.)

  The food here is excellent! Service is reasonably quick and courteous. I found the place to be a bit pricey for what you get, but it is definitely a good option if you are looking for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or all three! Very inventive dishes. Also, don't be afraid of the non-dairy cheeses -- they are delicious! They used to have excellent cornbread, but no longer, unfortunately. This place does accept reservations, and it was packed for a Wednesday night, so if you have a large-ish party and/or don't like to wait, just call ahead. We arrived half an hour before our assigned time, but they were more than happy to accommodate us.

  The best vegetarian food I have add in the U.S. Great ambiance and excellent wines too. We had dinner there three times in a couple weeks and we are addicted to the place. I especially recommend trying the Pecan Pate!
