• Good Food

I had dinner a few days ago at eLOVate, the newest vegan restaurant that I know of in LA. I love the atmosphere at this restaurant, and the patio makes for a perfect place to bring a date or hang with friends in the evening. They also have a bar inside. The service here is exceptional, and I love that all of the ingredients are organic. I realize that purchasing all-organic ingredients is very costly, and I am willing to pay more to have organic food, but I feel the food here is very average overall. I ordered a nacho dish with hearts of palm and the vegan "scallops". The description on the menu led me to believe this restaurant was going to be just amazing, but I found the food I had to be very average. If I go again, I will try the crab cake, as that also sounds delicious. I want to see this place succeed, as they seem to have a lot of integrity, but I would recommend that they either hire a new chef and create a new menu, or perhaps the chef can just create more exciting and flavorful dishes.
