Every bite at this restaurant is live. And there's no meat. They call themselves a "vegetable" restaurant as opposed to vegetarian. Gotta get those tofu/brown rice heads outta the mix. This is creative, world class vegetable cuisine. Everything tastes!!! The textures and textural contrasts are fabulous. And it all tastes like right outta the garden maybe ten minutes ago. One of the top three meals I've eaten in the last ten years. And I'm not sure the other two (whatever they were) were any better.
