• happy place!

I liked this place immediately. While I know I'm more easily satisfied with any place that is veggie/vegan friendly, this restaurant is a happy dining locale for all eaters. The waitress (who was very sweet) told us that most of their clientele are non-vegetarians and I decided that's very good news; for rather than preaching to the choir, I'm happy when carnivores can appreciate a good veggie meal. It's one thing to tell a vegan that the vegan food is good, it is substantially harder to tell a ravenous carnivore the same thing AND actually have them agree! I went to One World earlier this week with a group of entirely carnivorous friends who were interested in trying something new but had their healthy dose of skepticism. We asked the waitress to just give us a good sampling that One World can choose to feed ten hungry customers and they didn't disappoint. They even threw in a couple extra tastes of dessert for us to try. The desserts, I might add, were superb. After an array of appetizers and dinner of pasta, asian grains, mock meats and spicy veggies (including a melt-in-your-mouth eggplant), everyone left content and in the good "clean full" kind of way. As a vegetarian I was more than happy to fill my tummy, but I was even happier to know that my friends were very impressed and actually ate everything. I defnitely suggest going with a large group so everyone can try various dishes. While I'm not sure how often I will be able to drag non-veggies over again, I know I will definitely be going back for more. If anyone in the SGV area wants to go, hit me up if you want company!
