Vegan fine dining

by relentless7 at Citysearch

After using their cookbook for a few months, and dreaming about walking in almost every day staring at the restaurant from a 38 bus window, I finally ate at Millennium.

This is what vegan food should be. It's exotic, stimulating, light, well balanced, and with a shocking amount of flavor.

Their cocktails are also top-notch. Who would've thought?

• Pros: Creative, exotic, light, flavorful, vegan
• Cons: Location

Poor Customer Service!

by AllisonSF at Citysearch

We came here before Wicked. The Hostess was lovely and took our coats as we arrived. We sat down at the table as reserved. There was water already poured into our water glasses on the table. We had a couple of sips of water and ordered our food and wine. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal until the bill came.

We spent well over $300 at 6 p.m. (in this time of financial crisis). We noticed a charge for water for $8?! WHAT?!

We politely asked the server who explained that Millennium filters their own water through all these processes. We explained that we don't mind filtered water, instead we just weren't given the option at the start of the meal, especially since our water had already been poured BEFORE we even sat down. We explained that not a single person asked us at the beginning or at any time during our meal whether or not we wanted filter, tap, or sparkling water. She explained that 'this notice is on the menu' but not one of us 8 people saw this notice.

The manager, then arrived, explaining the exact policy....and then stated 'would you not have had water with your meal?' We explained that we live in San Francisco where the water quality is excellent and we would have taken tap water but we were NEVER given the option! Instead, the manager REFUSED to take the $8 charge off our bill!

Shame on you Millennium!

• Pros: food, setting
• Cons: not supporting their customers, not a good choice!

Fantastic, a little pricy tho

Millennium is fantastic. When you can afford it, you should check out this amazing vegan spot! Everything is vegan, and nearly everything is delicious.I think the only drawback is the pricing... It's a nice space, and a very formal dining environment... but it can slightly break the bank! A refreshing and special change from the usual vegetarian circuit here in San Francisco.

• Pros: Fabulous food and drinks -- all vegan!
• Cons: Expensive :(
