This place is a joke.

by sjfzpf

I am so glad that I was not the one paying for dinner, because I would have refused to. We got 2 appetizers, the squash blossoms and the spring rolls. The blossoms were obviously frozen and chewy. These were something you would get at Applebees , they were basically bland jalapeno poppers. The spring rolls were paired with the wrong garnishments. One of my friends paid $17 dollars for a ten inch pizza with nothing special about it. The veggetables were not fresh, and the cheeses were nothing special.

My other friends got the green curry, which had good flavor but was not spicey, as they requested. And it was cold. Worst of all by far was my "fettucini" the sauce was runny, there were only tomoatoes and flakes of basil and EGG NOODLES. Like cheap, sticky egg noodles that come in the giant bag at the grocery store. I will never eat here again, and I will tell all my friends not to waste their time and money.

• Pros: good wine, good attmosphere
• Cons:  way too expensive for what you get, bad food

Best vegetarian food in the country!

by relentless7

Greens is my favorite restaurant hands down (I've eaten at a lot of great places too). It's very Californian and 100% vegetarian. The atmosphere is great too. The recipes are seemingly simple, but usually has quite a lot of flavor. And the execution is always great.

I wouldn't recommend Greens for brunch. But it might be the best vegetarian meal you sit down to.

A lot of dishes are very rich. But it's a nice treat on occasion. A guaranteed spot to please in San Francisco.

• Pros: Excellent food
• Cons: Pricey

When pleasure meets with food quality

by Patrick421

Very pleasant and unusual place. Wood all over the restaurant, view on the Marina (not the tourist one, the one in West North Beach).

It is a vegetarian restaurant and it is definitively a trip in the "Taste world".

We were 4 and shared all the dishes (yes, the swine flue fear is gone for now) so we all got to test 4 very different styles.

All the 4 dishes were good to very good and all were original in their presentation and taste.

Highly recommended if you like the mix of good View, Good food, good service and original atmosphere.

• Pros: Gorgeous view, excellent service, creative and organic food
• Cons: Closes at 9 PM, not the cheapest in town
