As if we needed more evidence that vegan cuisine is alive and thriving, along comes this breezy retreat. Chef/owner Rodolfo Cuadros (of Amaru) is in the saddle, while the staff are always on the ball, presenting diners with a menu full of flavor and textural complexity. This is a vast space, with greenery, funky light fixtures, and that beloved counter. A perch here will ensure you're in full view of the team as they work closely with a host of pristine ingredients.
Baja tacos underscore a tortilla made from hemp seed and filled with fried banana blossom; while kelp noodles with acorn squash velouté and pumpkin seeds are wholesome yet wholly gratifying. Avocado-Key lime "ice cream" with ginger crumbles is an electrifying finish.
