    Pesto Fettuccine with Broccoli
    Em B.

    I have only been here once, so far. I ordered the Pesto Fettuccini with Broccoli, and zoodles made with zucchini, which came to $22. My favorite food is zucchini anything, and pesto to boot? *chefs kiss* It was alright, a little small though. It included sundried tomatoes, but I would have liked some steamed or raw tomatoes as well for a flavor boost. I've had the same dish with a bigger portion at a raw juice bar for $10. I do love that they are organic and have many options on their menu, but the prices are higher than I expected, even as someone who purchases organic groceries. I'd like to try some of their other menu options eventually.

    This place is a celebrated neighborhood institution that I hope will never leave us. Their beautiful organic food and staff is always a delight, their hearty dinner bowls for $12.50 are the best bargain in the North Shore for a healthy meal any day of the week. Their personal pizzas and raw pie desserts are delicious, no matter how you slice it. See what I did there ~ ? ^__^

    Vegan truffles (~$3 each). Delicious.

    Organic Garden is one of only a handful of raw-vegan restaurants remaining in the US. I feel like there were a lot more back in the 2008-2012 timeframe, but many have closed. I didn't eat of the main dishes here, but I got a range of desserts. The almond chocolate chunk cookie ($3.75) was great: chewy, soft, and with an excellent almond flavor from actual almond flour. The almond butter sandwich ($4) was also pretty good and rich. I thought the blueberry cheesecake ($8.50) was tasty and not too sweet. Lastly, the tiramisu ($10) wasn't bad but didn't blow me away. The flavors felt too subdued to me; if you've had the tiramisu at Cafe Gratitude in Los Angeles, this one pales in comparison. All told, stop by Organic Garden for a dessert or meal.

    This place is AWESOME! Everything is vegan. The menu is huge. I ordered 4 different items and was pleased with every single one. I highly recommend this cafe!

    I visited Organic Garden Cafe on a sunday afternoon for lunch with my cousins. One of them insisted on it because of her dietary restrictions, and I'm pleased to say it was the right choice. First, their expansive drink menu is wonderful. You can have anything from a nice glass of organic wine, to a matcha latte, to a wheatgrass shot. The service is also excellent. Everyone who helped us was a sweet as can be. For lunch we ordered the Thai Bowl, the Sprout About Salad, and the Pure Pad Thai. Everything was excellent, but the star was the Pad Thai. Wow! For raw pad thai, it was pretty darn close to the "real" thing. The flavors were delicious. I got a couple of desserts before I left as well. I would recommend the vegan carrot cake. So good! Overall, I had a perfect experience and I would certainly come back. It can get a little bit pricey but for organic, clean and fresh healthy food, its worth it!

    So so glad we found this little spot! We saw great reviews and popped in last month after leaving Salem. The corn chowder was phenomenal and the portions for everything we ordered were very decent sized. Definitely recommend stopping by here for fresh vegan options, or even just to grab an iced coffee!

    Is everything raw, or are some items cooked? I have food allergies around many raw foods.

    About 50% is cooked; the grains, soups, noodles, broccoli, veggie burger n falafel, cauliflower, tofu. Sauces and nut cheeses do not require cooking, and naturally all the basic garden veggies normally eaten raw are raw. They have a pasta cooker,… Read more

It was a very intimate experience dining among two other couples ( with three tables inside, Valentine's Day was fully booked! ) Here is what we enjoyed: - Roasted beet, radish, cucumber and snap peas crudites with a fava pate and malawach - Creamy and crispy potato puffs with spicy zchug - A bright and dreamy wedge salad with mushroom bacon and fried shallot - A savory tomato sunchoke soup with artichoke heart - A surprise ravioli and with a warming cream sauce - And choice of dessert, I had a bright lemon tart cake with and my husband had the amaro blonde sundae Dan @rhinokey, the @gossamerdram bar room operator, is a master with his cocktails, sourcing from, supporting local and small businesses where possible. We loved First We Take Manhattan and A Moon Behind the Clouds. Mandarava is one of my absolute favorites in Massachusetts for upscale, excellent pure cooking made from fresh, local ingredients, nothing processed.

This is what we got: - Grape leaves: Delicious stuffed grape leave paired with heart of palm and blood orange. Perfect way to start a delicious dinner. - Vegetable creme soup: I think that was one of the best soups I had in a while. It was super flavorful and light. The crispy brussel sprouts on the top provided some crispiness to the plate. - Chickpea tofu: The combination of the chickpea tofu with the delicata squash was just delightful. I wouldn't even know how to improve the plate if I was asked to... - Pot pie: Perfect bite for a winter. It makes you warm up immediately. The flavors were on point. You only need to be patient with this one, since it takes a while until it cools down and you can really enjoy it as it deserves. - Sweets: The description of this plate was only "cherry, blueberry, strawberry, pear" so we didn't really know what to expect. Well, we were served with a delicious piece of cake. Every bite made you come back for more. If I was asked about something to improve, my only recommendation would be to make sure the waitress describes the plate when served. At least the time we were there, that was not the case. Looking forward to coming back soon!

Everyone who works there is friendly and inviting, and even gave us a cute little amuse to start the night and the buckwheat shortbread to end. Here's everything we ordered: Agnolotti stuffed with tofu ricotta, with English peas, bacon, and a savory broth (my entree, I loved this - the broth was quite salty but the peas added a lovely freshness) Fazzoletti e funghi: local blue oyster mushrooms in a white wine cream sauce ‍ (my Mom's entree, also delicious and so umami) "Ivy rose" mocktail with grapefruit, prickly pear, and limeade (delightful!) Appetizers: fried squash blossoms stuffed with tofu ricotta in pomodoro sauce, and housemade focaccia with a trio of whipped butters (thyme and shallot, Calabrian chili, and smoked sweet onion). The ratio of butter to focaccia was more than double what we could use (we ordered more focaccia to spread it on!) but both of these apps were perfect. Foglia burger: house burger patty, tomato jam, garlic aioli, lettuce, onions, pickles, onion ring, housemade focaccia, and spicy agave parsnip fries (my dad's entree and to my delight he really enjoyed it!) Dessert: a gigantic slice of tiramisu (my favorite cake!). This was a huge slab, enough to share and have some leftover for breakfast. A little on the dry side for tiramisu but still really nice. Foglia is such a gem and we had a great time in Bristol, it's a beautiful town. The restaurant is small and cozy but was not too busy when we went. I highly recommend Foglia for a special occasion!

Advertised a 5 courses - we counted seven. The evening unfolded at a perfect pace over a relaxed two-plus hours, with attentive, knowledgeable service that never felt rushed. While we're not typically focused on vegetarian cuisine, every course was thoughtful, flavorful, and satisfying. The appetizer and pasta courses were standouts--creative, beautifully executed, and memorable. The wine pairings were spot-on and complemented each dish seamlessly. Restaurants like this only survive if diners seek them out and return--so whether it's your first visit or your fifth, it's well worth it. The chef/owner was nominated for a James Beard Award a few years ago, and the talent is evident in every course. Total with tip was about $370--very fair for the quality and experience.

But finally I did and boy am I happy. Very much a family affair - husband and wife who share maitre'd and server responsibilities. And other relatives in the kitchen cooking up a storm. What first grabbed my attention were the huge number of dosas they offer. Seeing any dosa on a menu at all is a rarity and so to see the wide variety they feature was amazing. I opted for the Andhra Kara Masala and it was excellent. The dosa itself crispy and warm and the condiments beautifully integrated. We opted for the mixed veggie pakoras as an appetizer on the recommendation of the owner and they were served warm and crispy. The batter was light - nothing like the thick sludge that usually adorns the deep fried nuggets of vegetable delight. The accompanying tamarind sauce was sweet and clean and the mint-cilantro suitably refreshing. Lovey got garlic naan and saag paneer. Smooth and creamy, the saag was exactly as hoped for and the garlic naan was chewy, warm and toothsome. Dessert was carrot halwa. Hard to believe carrots make such an excellent warm dessert but they do. Richly satisfying with just the right touch of sweetness. We look forward to returning and sampling the rest of the menu!

It's a place his dad has taken him to before and he loves it! We go for Indian food occasionally and we like it, so off we went to Salem NH. Grandson ordered a dosa for all of us as an appetizer, something with chopped onions, it was pretty good. My dish was the saag paneer, which I ordered what they call "American spicy." Spicy? Not! If I go back, I'd order Indian Medium Spicy! My husband liked his chana masala. Both were served with white rice. My son-in-law had a korma dish, I don't remember which one, Indian medium spicy, loved it, and he ordered garlic naan. We ordered roti. My grandson is gluten free and dairy free. I don't remember what he ate, but he's all in when he's predisposed to liking something, so I only remember that he was happy with it! We love the carrot halwa at our local favorite Indian restaurant in midtown Manhattan, so we ordered it for all 4 of us. It was much sweeter than we're used to; tasty but too sweet to finish. Anyway, it's a good local choice up there and my grandson chose it again just the other day for his birthday dinner out!
