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. At least one of the couples we dined with were not vegan and said "If Mary cooked for me every night, I would be vegan". It's that good!

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!

The roasted tomato soup was flavorful and fresh comprised of a variety of fresh summer local tomatoes and herbs. It was accompanied by a three cheese melt y grilled cheese sandwich. So good! The Greek burger with house made vegan meat included mint and dill and was topped with pickled onions, lettuce and a vegan yogurt like sauce. The only thing that would have made this even better would be for the bun to be toasted. Next time I'll ask for a toasted bun. The vegan meatball sub was the star of the meal. So delicious with a yummy tomato sauce, melty cheese on a toasted sub bun. We also enjoyed a side of Mac & cheese that was velvety and yummy. And, we enjoyed a berry oat milk smoothie and a mango pineapple oat smoothie. Both so refreshing and very fresh! We took sourdough cinnamon buns and earl grey lemon muffins to go. Haven't tasted them yet. Will provide a report after enjoying them. - Excellent, personable, attentive service. Food made and served with pride and care. This is real vegan food.

Unfortunately, on the day we went, they were out of several dishes and service was quite lackluster. Even when ordering at the counter, you can still feel welcomed. That didn't happen here. It was also super slow. The food we were able to get was good. The best part were the donuts, though. Think mall food court for ambiance. This is more of a slow, casual experience than anything.

We have been coming to him for quite a while now, and were so happy when we found out he opened a restaurant and don't have to worry about the weather! There are several places too sit, coupled tables along the wall, couple of 4 seats or more tables in the front and also a bar along the cooking area.

Black Magic Mexican makes incredible food, even before you factor in that it's vegan. The ingredients are fresh, and the portions are huge! For most people, they would be hard pressed to realize that the food was vegan if they weren't told (although the cashew queso might clue some in). The 3 tacos were more than sufficient for a meal, as I took one home to eat later. The chips and guacamole was another enormous portion. They have a lot of options to please even the pickiest of vegans or the staunchest meat eaters. The marg I had was small for the price, but definitely made up for it in strength and taste. Super cool vibe in the building, and service was insanely fast. Like, surprised me how fast. Black magic is a gem in Leb and overshadows the neighboring restaurants by a long shot in freshness and taste. If price wasn't a factor I'd eat here every other day, and this is coming from someone who loves a good steak.

We were disappointed that they sat us in a different part of the restaurant than we reserved, which felt odd considering we specifically had to choose which area we were reserving a table in and it wasn't a busy night, but it was no big deal at all.

I would call this iteration of Silly's "Silly's Lite". Picture a food truck located on Ossipee Trail in Standish, only a small building. The decor is reminiscent of vintage Portland Silly's--midcentury diner tables and chairs, and many familiar decorative pieces as well. It's pretty back to basics, counter service and a more streamlined menu, with a rotating list of daily specials, many vegetarian and vegan options, and their signature homemade cakes. We tried one of the vegan specials--the Citizen Spud: fried potato skins topped with sweet potato black bean chili and their buffalo and herbie sauces. It was full of flavor and so filling so we had to finish it at home, along with a couple of out-of-this-world slices of homemade vegan spice cake with maple frosting. People who loved Silly's Portland location will find the drive to Standish is well worth it. Make sure to check their hours on Instagram first--right now they're open Wednesday - Saturday, 4 pm - 8 pm. We're so happy this Silly's exists and look forward to returning!
