Stellar, sustainable meal Huge fans of the sustainable food revolution spearheaded by executive chef and food advocate extraordinaire Alice Waters, my boyfriend and I went here for our first anniversary dinner.

Vanilla bean divine Vanilla bean ice cream is so much better than plain old vanilla. The beans in this cream really give it some depth, integrity, and most of all an incredibly yummy flavor. It's soooooo over the top. The perfect vanilla!

you have got to be kidding me! Wow, this pie gives my grandma's peach pie a run for its money. I love the wheat crust and perfectly ripe peaches, but above all I can't believe it's vegan. I think I could eat five.

fruity effervesence! To each his own palate... Unlike the other reviewer, I thought this wine was delightful. Granted, it's not a fifty dollar bottle of wine, but for what it was, it was great. Lots of melon and citrus, and the flavor seemed to burst inside my mouth from some hidden effervescent source. I would...

once you get past the nose... ...the wine's not half bad. not great, but not terrible. The nose reminds me of wet socks (no joke) but it ends up jammy and berrylicious on the palate. It reminds me of the wine that I used to drink in college when we were having dinner parties and wanted to do something a marginal step above...

I no longer have the "i forgot my bag" excuse When I first started bringing cloth bags to the grocery store, I used to get frustrated because I often forgot. However, the Chico Bag is great because it bunches up super tiny and is really convenient to bring with you everywhere! Other reviewers seem to be bummed that these bags cost $5 but if...
