"Three Separate Visits, Three Utter Disappointments"

Review: My friend and I have been to countless vegan and raw restaurants all over the country, and we have never been to one this AWFUL!

In comparison to other raw-only restaurants, the food was terribly bland, and the selection was somewhat limited.

Furthermore, the staff was downright MEAN, and it seemed that everyone there had some sort of superiority complex. Each time we visited, we were left searching for service, and even then, nobody would help us.

Please note that I am not easily persuaded to write a negative review, as I am not an easily offended person. I always try to embrace the culture of each restaurant I visit, but this place left me discouraged and hungry!

Review: I am honestly flabbergasted that I seem to be the only one posting a negative review. My husband and I ordered several items from the menu (2 appetizers, 2 entrees and a dessert), and I didn't enjoy any of it. The texture of the "toast" was unappealing and it tasted too bland. I ordered a pasta entree that was way too cold, which is funny because the water they gave us was way too warm. Being first-time visitors, the seating and ordering situation was confusing for us. There was no sign posted saying whether to wait to be seated/seat yourself/etc, so we sat down thinking we'd be waited on. After a few minutes with no service, we wandered to the back area and saw the ordering counter that is hidden from the doorway.
It was a confusing, unappealing mess.

 
Pros: healthy cuisine * quiet *
Cons: tight space * unappealing food *

Review: So, I was hoping the cooked items they advertised would be filling, but it turned out to only be some brown rice and veggies in a salad bar... No worries, the place is great and we did the raw mexican pizza and purple burrito. They were fun and filling, but I'm always a little overpowered by raw.

Review: This rawsturant is one of the BEST places in Las Vegas for a healthy raw veg meal and has an ample healthy book selection and other useful merchandise.

Even St Germain would be proud of their rockin' Purple Burrito!

Review: If you want raw food, this is the place to come - for breakfast, lunch, dinner or a snack. Great food, plenty of choice, good service, mountain of books to read and buy, superb range of raw products and supplements - everything you could want from a raw foodery. I've been eating here for five years and it's practically the only place I eat in Vegas.
 
Pros: variety * quality * healthy
Cons: * *

Review: This place is killer....SUCH good food. I had the mediterranean wrap with tabouli and a slice of cacao cheesecake. HEAVEN. Portions are measly, and presentation needs work. Their store and library of books offer choices not found in most places.

Review: I tried raw food in Seattle once and never really gave it a chance since then. When I was in Vegas my friend convinced me to try it again, as he assured me of how incredible this restaurant is. I learned to trust my friend from that day forth! This restaurant is soooo amazing! You have to try their juices as well; they're impressive!

Review: I really enjoyed this place. It is nice to find a good clean tasty and friendly vegan place in a not so friendly to the vegetarian town. The staff was very helpful and nice and answered any questions we had. I took my fiance here ( not a vegetarian) and he loved it also. I go here about once a week and recomend the purple burrito, flax chips, living bread and mexi-cali pizza. All good choices. This place is a little pricey but very much worth the money.
 
Pros: Friendly Staff * Vitamins and Books * Many choices
Cons: Pricey * Closed Sundays *

Review: While on our recent trip to Las Vegas, my boy and i (who've been eating about 85% raw lately) decided to head over to the Go Raw Cafe. We took two friends who have never eaten raw and they really enjoyed it, enough to start asking a bunch of questions!

I had the Traditional Pizza, which was delicious. The prices are a little high for some. I think it's worth it as the portions are generous and I'm one of those willing to pay more for great food. I fyou get an entree you should definitely count on spending about $10-15. My boyfriend had the Cheeseburger and really liked it.

This cafe also had a great book collection for sale..and some raw food necessities to buy.

Overall, I would recommend and I'll go again next time I'm in Las Vegas.


 
Pros: Excellent&Healthy Food * Mellow Atomsphere * Generous Portions
Cons: * *

Review: This was my first experience with raw food, and though I don't plan on throwing out my stove any time soon I would definitely eat here again! My guest and I shared the meatloaf and some sort of fish themed... item. The flavor of everything we ordered was good and the vanillabana smoothie was DELICIOUS! The presentation, however, left something to be desired. Both our entrees vaguely resembled cow patties... though I've been told by a regular that other dishes on the menu do not (thank goodness.) I look forward to trying these other goodies and another smoothie soon.

Review: During one of my trips I visited Go Raw for the first time and I was hooked. I don't normally eat raw (though I know I should). I often tell myself being vegan is enough of a diet restriction. This food is amazing though. Not \"amazing considering its raw and vegan\" but really just amazing food. It is a bit expensive, but still reasonable when your food is made from high quality organic ingredients it does usually cost them more to make it as well. I went with a few omnivorous friends and though they were skeptical at first they really enjoyed their food as well and wanted to go back. When I first found this place it ended up being the only place I ate for the whole 10 days I was in Vegas. I tried a lot of different things on the menu and liked everything! I felt great and my taste buds were very happy! Oh and you must try the "cheese"cake it is just ridiculously good, it should be illegal =)
 
Pros: ridiculously good food * very friendly staff * extremely healthy
Cons: bit pricey * *

Review: Very EXPENSIVE, for a little teeny bit, of good vegan raw food. Beware, some smoothies contain HONEY (animal stuff, wanna get stung?). I had a Carob Banana beverage, YUM YUM. NICE BOOK SELECTIONS (its a bookstore too, reasonable price). Deserts are out of this world, YUM. Far from the Las Vegas Strip. Every other guest trys to sell you on Colon Cleansing with their biz card.
 
Pros: Vegan Salad Bar * Vegan Books * Deserts
Cons: $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ * $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ * $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Review: There is a large salad bar with good selections of raw and a few cooked items. Everything I had here was very delicious and the desserts were good, too. It's a few miles from the strip (eastward) and worth the drive. Also a section for books & health products
