• The only vegetarian restaurant I frequent :-)

I absolutely adore this place. Even my hubby and BFF (both carnivores a lot of the time, but can easily live without meat) love the food here, and we always order extra so we'll have leftovers. I would eat here more often - like at least weekly! - if I lived closer; as it is, it's my "go-to" special-occasion restaurant when I get to choose where we eat. The atmosphere is not ultra-deluxe, but tranquil and lovely - definitely nice enough to be said special-occasion place for me. The service is spectacular, and the serving sizes are more than generous. Granted, it's been over 17 years since I've (intentionally) eaten meat, but to me, the meatless substitutes here far surpass the "real" thing! I crave the sesame "chicken" more often than I'd like to admit. Some folks have noted how "un-busy" this place often is. I've noticed that, too, but every time I've eaten at Veggie Garden, at least 5 people have come in to pick up take-out orders. They clearly do a brisk take-out business (at least on non-buffet days, which is the only time I've been there). If I could give higher marks than 5 Happy Cows, I absolutely would!
