Elegant Vegetarian Dining

My disclaimer here is that I am most definitely an omnivore, and the extent of my vegetable experience growing up on the east coast was french fries and a burger garnish. Living now in California has given me access to some of the yummiest, farm fresh vegetables around, and many of them make their way to Millennium. This classic dining spot in the theater district of San Fran is totally organic, sustainable, and earth friendly. Their attention to detail in food preparation can be seen in the beauty as well as the taste of their extensive and creative menu. I was also impressed by their outstanding wine list, with lots of organic and biodynamic picks, and they had some great food/wine pairings that were exceptional in flavor and fun! I also happened to notice on the way out that they do monthly events, like wine tastings, cooking classes, and even an aphrodisiac night on the Sunday nearest the full moon, in connection with the Savoy hotel next door...presumably, their food and wine choices for that evening are stellar :-). Added dining bonus - the service was great, with knowledgeable and friendly staff that explained all the dishes for a veggie novice like myself. Bring your platinum Amex card though, this restaurant is for the well-heeled. I look forward to the day when organic and sustainable food is priced in restaurants so it can be enjoyed every night. For now, you wouldn't be disappointed to spend your special occasion evening at Millennium.
