Admittedly, the idea of raw food did not always appeal to me and I was concerned about a Zagat comment that people don't feel "full" after eating here. I don't understand that comment. The idea of this restaurant is to serve food that actually fuels the body and mind, creating a euphoria of spirit. I typically think about nutrition when i eat out, because I know how much butter, oil, fat, etc. goes into food to make it taste good. I didn't even worry about that - everything here tastes good and is good for you. We went back several times to the take-out annex around the corner. Take home some chocolate macaroons.

Just one more comment, this place was mobbed with celebrities. Some were really considerate, but some were just stupid. I don't know his name, but the guy that's always doing card tricks, he was annoying and my only complaint about this restaurant.

This is hands down the classiest veggie spot in the city. Yes it's pricey, but everything we had was delicious. I went with 2 non-veggie friends and they loved it just as much as I did.
