Here is a primarily vegetarian restaurant that never once leaves you pining for fat---and all because chef-owner Brenda Langton knows how to mix-and-match fresh ingredients and make them shine. We always start with the shrimp quesadillas so we’re sure to get to sample the irresistible coconut-mint-cilantro salsa that accompanies them. Entrées like fresh walleye get kicked up a flavor-notch when topped with blackberry-ginger teriyaki sauce, while the spicy mock duck tacos give a nod to Southwestern tastes. Stricter vegans will delight in the sozai (organic brown rice, beans, vegetables and marinated tofu). Standard salads such as the Greek and Caesar are always solid. Don’t be afraid to try one of Brenda’s daily-changing desserts.
