Le Commensal is a trendy place that has a variety of salads, soups, entrees and desserts. They also label all their food with a list of all the ingredients and (L) for dairy, (O) for egg, and (V) for vegan, for easy reference. You "pay by weight" so you only pay for what you select.

This Le Commensal is spacious and bright and has lots of tables. The food seems pretty good and they had a good selection of food and desserts, but they had only a couple of vegan desserts. I really wish they made more of an effort to make more vegan desserts.
Le Commensal had a large selection of vegan salads and entrees. I especially loved the seitan bourguignon and the beet apple salad. The prices were a little steep, but I generally find this to be the case at pay-by-weight places. It certainly wasn't any more expensive than restaurants with a similar price structure.
I have to admit that I was a bit disappointed with the vegan dessert selection. There were many desserts on the dessert table, but the only vegan options were a carrot cake (without icing - it was just cake with carrot shavings on top) and a bland-tasting imitation cheese cake. I appreciate the fact that they have vegan desserts, but I wish they would put more effort into them.
