I LOVED the food. It was fantastic. I had, well I forgot exactly what it was called, a bowl that looked like a carefully wrapped gift. The presentation was awesome, and I was reluctant to ruin it by eating, but it was truly worth it (haha). It was pretty big and worth the money, actualy. A little hard to eat with the huge piece of lettuce, but delicious nonetheless. I hope I'm not confusing anyone since there's no title for the dish, but I think it was the Thai-style bowl; the one with the peanut and tahini sauce. The grilled tofu was just spectacular.
The only down side to the meal was the dessert. The cookie was dry and I needed a refill on my water to get the rest down. Odd, since there was obvious use of flax seeds in the cookie (and when used properly, they can imitate the egg-like texture that normaly would have made the cookie more chewy). The cheesecake was more like a standing piece of triangular chocolate mousse and the jelly on top was made with way too much cornstarch, making it hard and unpleasant to eat on most levels. I said most levels because I am an undeniable fan of anything sweet, really. But being someone who had tried a chocolate "cheesecake" at another certified vegan place in Toronto (Vegetarian Haven to be more exact) and having felt that it truly tasted like cheesecake, the one I had a couple days ago was not so good.
Oh, and the staff were great, but you can't eat the staff, can you?
