Reviews of Manzanita Restaurant
Macrobiotic vegan comfort food!
Manzanita is a really great local restaurant with a lovely outdoor patio for warm weather dining. They offer a set menu with price points based on a "full" or "moderate" size plate that includes soup, tea and a really filling tasty plate of food. The baked goods are also quite tasty! There is a buffet on Saturdays. They've raised their prices recently making it a bit harder for me to justify eating out when the food is so simply prepared and made from inexpensive ingredients.

Inexpensive healthy food in cafeteria setting
Manzanita doesn't offer much by way of atmosphere. It's a bunch of tables in a mostly undecorated space. They have two menu options each day (though I think you can get a la carte), and I always get the small plate of the main meal. Taste is inconsistent--a couple times, it's been terrific; others, not as good. But consistently the food is fresh and healthy and relatively inexpensive--you can dine here for about $10. You're getting wonderful greens, whole grains, and vegetables, plus twig tea, plenty of fill you up. Anytime I'm feeling like I've been eating food that's no so good for me, I like to go here. My girlfriend isn't as psyched, usually, but when we go, she generally feels good afterward. Don't expect fancy, tolerate the inconsistentcy and atmosphere, but appreciate what a wonderful thing that Manzanita exists.

Tasty Vegan Dining
Reliably delicious, hip and relaxed staff, and low impact operations. Long-standing restaurant with loyal, regular customers - especially at lunch.
