"Not bad"   My Rating
4 jamesoheare	Posted on: Tuesday, December 08, 2009
	Review: Good selection, most of what I have tried is excellent. Buddha Burger excellent, best burger ever! Fried terrible. Service not so great. They do things like bring the food out as it is ready rather than all at once so you have people eating and done before others even get their food and if they wait then it's cold. Anyone running a restaurant should know this stuff. They are obviously trying to be very friendly, which is great but it can be extremely persistent in doing so and it can get tiring when you just want to eat. I sometimes hear a kid running around in the kitchen. I'm sure that is a violation of health and safety laws and it makes me concerned whether it is clean and sanitary in there. So, a bit of a mixed bag, but the food is generally really good and this place is worth a try.   Pros: Selection * Good food * Cons: Service practices * *

"Go Green!"   My Rating

	Review: We have been to Green Earth many times.The service is gracious and good. The food is superb! I have never been fond of vegan desserts, but here it is different. Don't eat without ordering dessert. We have had the luncheon buffet many times and also ordered from the menu. Everything was excellent. One evening a group of 5 of us went in for desserts. We laughed and talked. Our friends were delighted we introduced them to the Green Earth. Best hot and sour soup ever. The reviewers who said this food was bland don't know how to order!!!   Pros: Clean * Delicious * Good Value Cons: * *

"Excellent restaurant"   My Rating
1 happy2Bvegan	Posted on: Wednesday, August 05, 2009
	Review: Our family just had a beautiful dinner at Green Earth. Courteous, prompt service, and the food was superb. We started with the Paradise Sushi, fresh, tasty and accompanied by a delicious, slightly salty sauce, and the Crispy Crescents for appetizers. The Crescents were definitely crispy, very yummy and served with a sweet chili sauce. For entrees we chose the BBQ tofu which had a smoky, slightly sweet and piquant flavour; the Hawaiian Style Fried Rice which was a lovely, lightly sauteed mixture of crisp veggies, pineapple and rice; and the Fettuccini Alfredo which had an amazingly creamy, mild sauce with a nice pile of noodles and fresh veggies. For drinks we had carrot-orange juice and mango tango, both were fresh, moderately sweet and tasty. We splurged on dessert, ordering the Thai Banana Rolls with ice cream, and the Chocolate Cheesecake. Both were rich and absolutely scrumptious, and attractively presented. Altogether a very satisfying meal - we'll be return customers for sure :) A most pleasant way to celebrate the personal and global benefits of a vegan diet.   Pros: excellent food * healthy cuisine * friendly staff Cons: * *

"Amazing Experience!"   My Rating
1 JayM	Posted on: Sunday, April 12, 2009
	Review: I just had my first meal at Green Earth. Wow! My first impressions were positive. I liked the atmosphere and it looked clean, so did the kitchen! The server was great and my food was there within 10 minutes! The food itself was awesome, it was exactly what I had in my mind when I ordered it, no surprises. (Aubergine Grille) I will definatly go back and bring people with me. I might even go back again for dinner tonight!   Pros: Easy to know what is vegan * Clean * Many choices Cons: * *

"Slower Food, Slower Diners and Slower Expectations"   My Rating
1 Richard Haney	Posted on: Sunday, March 29, 2009
	Review: The food at the Green Earth is infused with Love!! Slower food, slower service and slower expectations are one of the hallmarks of a quality functional vegan or vegetarian restaurant. If a diner comes in the door in a hyper-McDonald's state of mind then it is their own responsibility to slow it down to the ambiance and the mood of the vegan restaurant. It is very challenging to run a new excellent vegan restaurant with all the old expectations that fast-moving, wired diners carry in with them. It is URGENT not to sacrifice the quality of the food for the speed of delivery. Please, fast-food folks, go to the fast-food (vegetarian) restaurants. Let the rest of us slowly enjoy the slow food experience............Thanx. How about a second Green Earth Restaurant out in Bells Corners for we westerners??   Pros: Won Ton Soup * Crispy Chow Mein * Thai Banana Rolls Cons: * *

"Good food but not worth the appalling service."   My Rating
8 Parasol	Posted on: Sunday, March 08, 2009
	Review: We went to Green Earth yesterday for (Saturday) lunch. I was excited about a new vegan restaurant in town! The ambiance is nice, if a little institutional. [edited by wm- see terms]. The menu is mostly vegan and very extensive. Generally, the food was decent but a little bland. The side salad that comes as a side dish is a sad, limp pile of shredded lettuce and carrots with a flavourless dressing. Dessert was excellent and I would consider returning for the dessert alone. The cheesecake was magnificent. The biggest problem I had with this restaurant was the service. The service was slow, and the waitstaff did their job in very slow stages. It took a few minutes to be seated, another few minutes to get the menu, another few minutes for water, etc. In between courses, the service was inattentive and painfully slow. Someone on staff would come out to the dining room, bring someone cutlery and go back behind their counter (instead of checking in on the other diners, taking orders, etc). It took dessert a half-hour to get to us and only after we walked up to the counter and asked about it (another table had ordered the same two desserts, they said, and they forgot about us - even though we were seated in the front window in plain view). Water was filled up once in the ninety minutes we were seated. We had to ask for cutlery. We had two people serving us and weren't sure of who our real waiter was. Overall, the service was appalling. I attribute it to beginner hiccups but, in my opinion, you have to hit the ground running when you open a new restaurant and have the service (at least) fine-tuned from the beginning. I would only go back for their daytime buffet so I wouldn't have to wait for service. We went to the counter to pay (not wanting to wait another half-hour for someone to return to the table) and the woman behind the counter (one-half of our wait staff) said it was hard to find good waitstaff for a vegan restaurant. At least she acknowledged that it was terrible but she didn't do anything to make up for her fellow staff. No excuses, please. Honestly, the food is not good enough to warrant the terrible service. We left frustrated and disappointed.   Pros: Dessert * Location * Extensive Menu Cons: Service * * Food Quality

"I love it and will visit regularly"   My Rating
1 givelife	Posted on: Sunday, February 22, 2009
	Review: This restaurant was just open on February 14, the Valentine's Day. I have been there twice, and my wife has been there three times already since then. The restaurant can sit at least thirty people and the atmosphere was quite cosy. It was newly decorated and everything seems to be brand new, including the counter, floor, desks and chairs. The walls are filled with delightful paintings. You can watch Supreme Master Television (a positive TV channel that is also online through www.SupremeMasterTV.com) while waiting for your favourite dishes. I can feel the positive energy there, and the environment is quite uplifting. Here is some of the information that I collected from their recipes and flyers. • 15 Appetizers, price from $3.75 - $4.5 • 6 Soups; Small - $4.95, Large – 6.95 • 9 Salads, price from $6.95 – 10.5 • 10 Rice & Noodles, etc., price from 7.5 – 10.5 • 4 Noodle Soups, $7.95 each • 6 Veggie Burgers, $6.75 each • 4 Sandwiches etc., $6.5 each • 7 Desserts, price from $3.95 to $4.5 • 5 Smoothies, $3.95 each • Various Fresh Juices and Beverages, $1.25 - $4.25 Lunch Buffet is $8.95/person, and offered from 11am to 2pm weekdays. Opening hours: Mon-Sat: 11am-9pm Sun: 12pm-8pm Cooking style: Vietnamese, Thai, Indian, Mexican, Italian All food has no meat, no eggs, no MSG. Menu items are all vegan except four as indicated by a red bullet on the menu. They also offer free drinks and appetizers until March 31. They have both dishes that have the natural taste of fresh vegetables and plants, as well as dishes that look and taste like meat. There is so much choice that I think it is suitable to Vegans, spiritual practitioners, monks and nuns that observe a strict vegetarian diet, as well as people who want to try a more sustainable life style but still love the taste of meat. Here are a few dishes that I liked: Hummus with pita bread and Spring rolls appetizers Chow mein and Crispy Chow mein Earth warming soup Cheesecake I would highly recommend this restaurant. I will post more later on when I have a chance to try more.   Pros: Delicious food * Friends stuff * Cozy atmosphere Cons: * *

"delicious"   My Rating

	Review: If you can look past (or appreciate) supreme master tv playing quietly in the background then this restaurant is great. The decor is nice, the place is clean, and the staff are very friendly. The food istelf was amazing. Don't leave without some dessert or you'll be missing out. Lunch for two (including dessert) came to just under $30. Definitely worth checking out.   Pros: cheap * clean * Cons: supreme master tv * *

"Great Taste, Nice Welcome"   My Rating
1 CaroB	Posted on: Wednesday, February 18, 2009
	Review: I went to Green Earth Vegetarian Restaurant with my family and everybody left happy and fulfilled. My kids were asking to go back the next day! I took some crunchy chow mein noodles with veggies and soy protein on top. We had the chance to taste crunchy won ton as a welcome appetizer offered by the restaurant on grand opening week. My daughter and mother-in-law enjoyed their won ton soup, while my husband took a garden burger with greens. My younger daughter had crispy golden rolls that filled her up so I was lucky to have the fettuccini Alfredo she had order for my lunch the following day. They were green and tasty, accompanied by a vegan cream sauce and some mushrooms and red peppers. We also shared a platter of spring rolls made with rice paper. They tasted very fresh with the mint leaves and noodles that were inside. Then the house offered us dessert to thank us for visiting them: banana rolls with vegan whipped cream. Everything was delicious. The restaurant is very clean, the decor beautiful with inspiring paintings and decorated fans. And the owners were so welcoming and friendly that it almost felt like visiting relatives. This restaurant is a fine addition to Ottawa's dining out experience. Since it is very close to my home, I will go there often. Prices are very reasonable: $62 for 5 people and an extra doggy bag lunch with the 17% tip included. I also noted that the box containing the leftovers was made of cardboard. Congratulations and good luck to this restaurant.   Pros: * * Cons: * *
