Neither my wife nor I are vegetarians. We went with friends who are. My wife and I had a delightful meal. Service was wonderful. More

I cant describe it as a fun place, but if your after some good vegetarian food, then your in the right place. The Ambiance is a little stiff, as is the food, but is still good. The Dishes are original, service is good, and the price is reasonable. More

We never missed the meat during our meal. Some of the more notable dishes we ate were: Shaved Apple & Tatsoi Salad with sweet chili-eggplant purée - light yet intensely flavored; D’Anjou Pear Soup with camembert and smoked hazelnut - very rich and velvety with the pleasant surprise of golden raisins; Crispy Rice Noodle with baby bok choy and miso...

Had a wonderful dining experience here. The service was top notch and the atmosphere is nice (though noisy, but where isn't). Some dishes were AMAZING and others quite frankly were not very good. I believe that there are two other Vegetarian places that are better and worth the money. More

First of all, creative and yummy drinks at the bar (Bee's Knees, anyone?) but what they do to veggies just knocks my socks off. Cauliflower never had it so good. Mushroom mousse. More mushrooms with fiddlehead ferns. Cheese gratin. Tangerine ginger tea. All set in a tiny restaurant and all well worth the visit. I'd come back to Chicago just... More

Met up with two vegetarian friends at Green Zebra because we were looking for better fare than the standard "vegetarian option" at most places. Lots of complaints on TripAdvisor so was ready to weather the dismal storm. More than pleasantly surprised. Three of us shared nine small plates, one of us did the tasting menu. If people think this is... More

After alerting management to a worm in the salad, they seemed unphased and did nothing to appease our table. Horrible food. Terrible service. More

I believe this place has new ownership and or management. The food is lackluster, the service unprofessional. I used to love it, and overlooked the outrageous prices. Now they are irritating. More

I am not vegan but wanted to try something different and wanted to eat healthy. This restaurant was a little difficult to find as the only sign is on the door. Once inside, it was mysterious and cozy. The menu was foreign however the waiter was a plethora of knowledge. We choose the chef's choice a five course meal starting... More
