CLOSED: Mind Body and Spirits

I am a vegan and have been to this restaurant 3 times (I tried to give it a chance because of the idea behind this restaurant), and all 3 times I have been extremely disappointed by the quality of the vegetarian/vegan fare. All 3 times I was with non-vegans and their food was great but mine was always bad. I feel like whoever is cooking the food is not veg or really veg conscious because the veg food was very bland (3 different dishes in 3 different months), and obviously not made for someone to actually enjoy. I would NOT recommend this restaurant for veggies.

This is a tough one for me. This is the kind of place that I wish I could rave about. The atmosphere and setting are lovely. The staff is friendly. The only problem is that the food is really bad.

I have given this place many chances because I really wanted to like it there. I kept telling myself that it may have been an "off night" for them in the kitchen. Last night was my 5th time there and I sat with food that was barely edible.

The salad was soaked with dressing (and not a good dressing), the roasted beets were way too salty, the entrees were bland and mushy, the chickpea dip was bland. I honestly can't say one good thing about the food - and I'm not a very picky person. I enjoy just about every other restaurant that's listed on this site.

Perhaps the meat items are good. But if you are a vegan or vegetarian I would advise you to stay away.

If you're a Vegan, there's not much here, and what is, is overpriced. The presentation is well done, and the ambiance is interesting. But, as a vegan, I go for the food, and I won't go back.

The owners have designed a very environmentally friendly restaurant, and they are also skilled in great hospitality. For example, they will gladly give you a tour of the building and show you the geothermal heating unit. I held my last birthday party here and it worked out really well. Gluten free and vegan options are clearly marked on the menu. This place will satisfy just about anyone with some kind of dietary restriction, foodies, environmentalists, and beer or wine connoisseurs. I'm sad to see the giant (vegan) chocolate smorgasbord dessert that I enjoyed so much, during the winter, is no longer on the menu.
Their menu is seasonal and they tend to offer two vegan options in each category (appetizer, dinner, dessert) with each menu change. As a bonus (to me, at least) they are also smoke free! Outdoor rooftop seating is being offered during the summer.

I have given this place 2 tries, and have been disappointed both times. The first time was shortly after they opened. They had already eliminated most of the vegan options on their menu, but hoped to bring some back. The next time was months later and the vegan options were still very limited. What is available is very overpriced for the quality (watery stir fry for which I had to pay an extra $3 for tofu, for example). The service was also horrible both times (staff seemed confused about who was waiting on which table). However, the building design itself is well done. For this reason alone, I would go there for a drink, but not for a meal.
