RFD can both surprise and disappoint. I've eaten at RFD for many years and they often have amazing specials - they have a monthly special as well as one weekly entree and one salad special per week. These are often tempeh based and can be quite inventive.
Their set menu is less exciting. Their tempeh enchaladas are full of flavor and quite exceptional. I also enjoy their sushi, cashew cheez nachos, the rueben sandwich and the TV dinner. However, much of the menu is not very tasty.
Their desserts often disappoint. Their cakes tend to be a little dry and not too flavorful. I do enjoy their coconut cake when it's available.
They have a good Sunday brunch, I love the very filling weekender: tofu scramble with spicey cashew cheez, hashed browns, very tasty french toast (or pancakes), and tempeh bacon.
All in all, RFD offers a pleasant dining experience with good service. If the specials are exceptional that week, then you've hit the jackpot.

The food is fair but what is terrible is the owner and management, which makes the food taste bitter in my opinion. I'm a vegan for many reasons, one of which is the ethical treatment of animals. I think the same service should be made for humans, especially the ones who are working hard for you. Shame on you Real Food Daily. If you are looking for a good macrobiotic restaurant try Seed in Venice, or Inaka on La Brea, or any of the M Cafe locations.
