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.
