I have had the pleasure of eating out lately and I have been pleasantly surprised by the vegan/vegetarian options available on local menus. It is so nice to have more than one option and/or entrees that you don’t have to caveat with multiple exceptions.
Clyde’s at Willow Creek Farm:
This was called the “Bowl of Spring”. Potato gnocchi served with asaparagus, fava beans and carrots. Delicious.

Busboys and Poets:
Last night I had yummy vegan pizza with a great pinot. I am such a huge fan of this place for many reasons. I must enumerate below:
- LOTS of vegan/vegetarian options
- cool bar/ambience
- great wines/cocktails!
- carrot juice
- outdoor seating
- restaurant with a mission: community
