Spaghettini with Marinara and Gardein MeatballsWe've been eating nearly the same thing every time we've been to the restaurant and decided we had to shake it up this time. We don't get there often enough so we still want that burger that is the best vegan burger ever... so branching out was a big step. The marinara sauce kind of had a California feel to it, very fresh tasting. The meatballs had a lot of fennel to them and were ok. I was never much of a meatball eater so they didn't floor me. Jim really enjoyed it, but I was much happier with what I ordered.
Chicken Panini with Balsamic Tomatoes
This sandwich was fantastic! I was a little afraid of trying the Gardein chicken. Most 'meat' substitutes really turn me off. (There was a particularly bad experience with tofu dogs). But considering how much I love seitan, I tried to rationalize that it wouldn't really be that different and was worth a try. The flavor was great and the texture was very chickeny but not in a bad way.
We're already looking forward to going again. This is the only restaurant that we really feel safe eating in and it's worth the drive. At this point, as much as I love the food, I'd go back just for that cheesecake!
