So Much More Than Salad....

by sky679 at Citysearch

...including an organic wine and sake list, so ignore the "Insider Tip" that no alcohol is served. The food is amazingly tasty, and leave room for dessert. The Black Forest Mousse Cake is unbelievable. I love the celery root salad and the fennel/pomegranite appetizer. And, as far as I have tasted, all the entrees are delicious. Enjoy!

• Pros: The food!
• Cons: It can be a bit too quiet in the dining room sometimes.... I hate to yell while eating, but don't like to whisper either.

Best Raw Food in the Bay Area

by martygg at Citysearch

I live in the the Marina District and just found this place. The food is wonderful. I really love the desserts. The prices are very reasonable. They are about the same as the other quality restaurants, but the food here is all organic! What I like about it most is the freshness of the food. The food is not overly-spiced or salted. They depend on the foods' natural flavors. I spoke the owner and he says he's also has food booth and the San Francisco Ferry Builidng Farmers' Market on Saturdays, so he gets a lot of his produce directly from local farmers.

The most interesting dishes there are their Asian Noodles. They come with 4 tasty appetitizers. The noodles are not really noodle. They're made from sliced vegetable like zuchinni and carrots.

I also recently attended a raw food class and learned that it's very difficult to make this food and very costly to make. The desserts can be very rich and nut-based, so a normal portion should be small, unless you want to gain weight. The dessert portion is about the normal portion size for a quality and health conscious restaurant, but really a bit large for a real raw food person.

Want to save money AND stay skinny?

Then forget desert. Although it was tasty, it was eight dollars for a SMALL piece of raw pie. And it takes fifteen minutes to get it to you.

This is a nice place, and once again, the citysearch reviewer must have been in a bad mood when reviewing the interior of this place. It is nice inside, quiet and romantic, plus there is a lovely outside deck with heaters. We will try this place again as the food looked good (we were hanging out waiting for our to go desert order). Friendly but a little slow-- and a little over priced, but will go back as it is one of the few places to get good quality good for you food.
