Millenium Dec 2009


I can see why this is a popular vegetarian restaurant in SF.  Each course is like a full meal.  The mushroom, starch, vegetables, and salads do not necessary work well together.  They are intended for a full nutritious meal.  It is hard for tasting  because it is a lot of work to separate the different stuff on the plate to taste them individually and then together.


Unfortunately that the wine service is lacking.



















Roasted Beets
hazelnut oil, balsamic vinegar, thyme

Huckleberry Potato Fries
sweet & spicy smoked maple ketchup





Raw Sea Vegetable & Avocado Salad
satsuma mandarin, marinated shitake mushroom, shredded daikon & carrot,
