Connecticut It's Only Natural

I've only been to so many veg restaurants - Crazy Burger (not really veg, but pretty close), Buddha's Delight, Blood Root and It's only Natural. Out of that list ION is by far the best. I drive 45 minutes to eat there. I can get Indian or Japanese food out locally, but I love getting dessert when I go out to eat, so having vegan dessert options is incredible.

The icing on their cake is rich and creamy, and supposedly their cheesecake is amazing, but I haven't tried it yet. The prices are reasonable, most of the waitresses are really cute, and they have a decent drink/wine list. I haven't had a bad meal yet, although last time we were there, the hummus wasn't very good, but we had the hummus platter once before and it was great, so everything changes daily. Sometimes the greens are a lot better than other times. That's the way it goes with fresh food.

Ooo...Oooo...someone responded to my thread!!

I LOVED it!!! I had spicy cajun tempeh that was incredibly delicious. I couldn't believe how good it was. It came with brown rice and garlic greens (kale). My daughter (not veggie) had the vegetarian taco which she said was really good. The apple tart was to die for. The coconut cake was actually dry. I was disappointed. And I did not like the cheesecake which supposedly got rave reviews from Vegetarian Times. I'm a total junk food junky, so you can't really go by my taste. I like way too much sugar and sweet desserts. The cheesecake was not very sweet. And the stir fried rice looked amazing but I think they put ginger in it and I do not like to taste ginger in my food. So if you like ginger, you will probably like the fried rice. We also had the cajun fried tofu bits. Really, really good.

As a side note, our waitress was super friendly and very pretty!

I can't wait to go back there and try some more items. Their website hasn't been updated in a long while, so there are items on the website that they no longer serve, like the banana cream cake...I was really looking forward to that. Bummer.
