Thanks! That one’s been on my list to try. Is it “upscale,” though? Like tablecloths, nice atmosphere, etc. I don’t normally care about those things, but unfortunately my parents do.

specifically interested in fresh, healthy indian, vegetarian/organically focused and also, more generally, decent places that deliver — thank you

It’s really hard to say. I guess technically the food may be better at La Fontaine de Mars. But Les Fontaines has a specialty of great meats of all sorts, including organs, with enjoyable roast potatoes. Fishes too. Les...

i’d love input for a dinner i’m organizing for an 80th bday dinner. our aunt’s 87 year old beaux (!), who lives in philly, has asked me to find a restaurant..everyone (from 48 to 87) is a world-traveler and...

overstaffed and yet least organized take-out place ever. Lobster Claw in Surf City was much nicer and better than Harvey Cedars Shellfish as a general beach seafood place – good lobster, a few non-seafood things, good...

. The menu is short and sweet – three dishes per course. In the unpretentious spirit of the place, it’s up on a blackboard. There are no tablecloths, no fancy serviettes, nothing to distract from the great, honest...

The OP said it needs to be all-vegan. M Cafe de Chaya, while very good, is not all-vegan. I will throw out there Madeleine Bistro in Tarzana. 100% vegan, a nice sit-down place, white tablecloths, organic wines and beers, and not...

If you’re up for Chinese seafood, Daimo in the Pacific East Mall is very good and full of children. In a very different modern often organic California vein, there’s Venus on Shattuck in Downtown Berkeley. We’ve...

Been to 2 banquets at NGB – one was a Chowhound event! I enjoyed them both immensely, especially the abalone and the marinated goose intestines. I’m sure the folks who organized that event can chime in here...

vegetarian-friendly places run along the lines of sandwich shops and burrito places. Many of Portland’s most expensive and most talked about white tablecloth places don’t emphasis vegetarian, but do offer locally...

I’ve been told that Pasadena has some excellent Chinese restaurants. Since we’ll be visiting Pasadena in the near future, we wanted to combine the trip with some first-class eating. What we’re interested in is...

Syrup glory, sitting right there on every table. Why do so many places give us this junk to pour onto our organic, sustainable fries, burgers, and so on? The restaurant is great but very expensive. $66 for lunch for 3. Crab Roll,...

Awesome place, great cheeses, dairy, ice cream. BIG advocates for sustainability, biodynamics, organics and Slow Food. Wonderful farmers' market too with organic buffets every week.

I had heard rumors that the chef owner of Thai Star, in the back of a strip mall at Alexander and G streets, used only organic ingredients, and then heard that ownership had changed and it was no longer organic...but none of my...

, and organic vegetables, etc.)? Is Mark’s worht the money and the hype? We will probably be spending the day in the museum district so something near there would be good (though my sister lives in Missouri City so anything...
