 San Francisco's temple to upscale vegan cuisine moved from the testy Tenderloin to the much swankier Union Square area. The dining room is inside The Hotel California. Despite the black and white tiled floor, zinc bar and dark wood, the restaurant's anti-animal sensibilities still show through in the faux leather upholstery and recycled chandeliers and curtains. The inventive food of chef Eric Tucker draws meat-eaters and vegans alike. For starters, try the warm spinach salad with smoked tofu in place of the usual bacon. The small-plates section of the menu might boast a dish of chickpea and cumin crusted mushrooms accented with sweet and sour orange masala. Entrées range from pumpkin curry with black forbidden rice risotto to Caribbean jerk tempeh with coconut and achiote root vegetable stew, garlic mashed sweet potatoes, sautéed kale and clove pickled baby carrots. The wine list has been carefully chosen to match the unique menu. For dessert, try the fruit strudels or the sorbets.
