Fancy Radish came so close, but some items were priced a little too high imo, and the service was good but not stellar. To start, the host put us at a bad table despite us having a reservation and better tables being available, but did change it when he saw my hesitation. A++ for concept, though. The world needs more serious vegan restaurants with a genuinely thoughtful sit-down experience, not just for vegans, but to create palatable vegan options for meat eaters so they can enjoy exploring vegan food, to offer more variety for vegetarians and pescatarians, and just to reduce meat consumption overall given how bad it is for the climate and animal welfare. I like that Fancy Radish offers a legitimately good, well-rounded dining experience, putting thought into ambiance and cocktails etc. instead of just leaning on the novelty of the food. I also like that Fancy Radish values the vegetables themselves, offering creative and unexpected preparations, instead of just slapping down some baked tofu or seitan. I found that the ambiance was an extremely important part of our experience here, as that is what sets Fancy Radish apart from other vegan and vegetarian places, which always seem to lean fast-casual or crunchy granola. The lighting and light fixtures were notable, which feels like a weird thing to say about a restaurant, but they made a difference. Lighting was low and sexy, the fixtures were interesting, eye-catching and thoughtfully placed. The overall color scheme was Earthy in a nod to the cuisine, but nuanced. Carefully placed potted plants, again, nodding to the theme but not overdoing it. The only things I didn't like about the decor were the things that were gimmicky about being vegan - a stretch of wall over the kitchen painted with radishes. Art hanging on the wall over the booths that looked like it was collaged from trash. They didn't go with the otherwise very sophisticated look of this restaurant. Also, the severs were dressed in these weird olive-gray soft t-shirts with matching aprons over black slacks and honestly they looked like they were in a cult, which I did find a little jarring. The food. At $15-$20 the plates were pretty reasonably priced, but they are small plates. We found that portions varied wildly. Our server said she has had couples come in and eat the whole menu but typically tables of 2 get 3-5 plates to share. We started off ordering 3: the rutabaga fondue with pretzel bread, the Peruvian potatoes, and the dan dan noodles. After that we felt we needed a fourth item and got the grilled avocado with slaw, and finished with a desert. The fondue was unexpectedly delicious, and impressively textured like a delicate sauce, not a gloppy puree. The bread was fresh and dusted with a perfect amount of sea salt. The noodles were perfectly cooked , covered in shaved green onion, and came with shiitake mushrooms in 5-spice that were somehow both crispy and chewy. The noodles were, however, VERY spicy, and when I asked our server if spice levels could be modified, thinking about future visits, she said not really. The potatoes were good, but not showstoppers like the fondue and dan-dan noodles (though my fiance put the potatoes over the fondue in his ranking). They were also quite spicy, with large bits of peppercorn. We were both disappointed with the grilled avocado. At $16, it was half a small avocado with some garnishes served on a small pile of slaw. It was good, but it wasn't so special that it was worth that price at that portion. I can cut up an avocado at home. Our desert was write-homeable though. We got the choclate bar, which is really more like a ganache cake browny thing, very thick and rich. It came with a vegan lavender ice cream and blackberry jam, both delightful. Personally, I'm of the belief that if it isn't chocolate it isn't worth the calories, but I think in this case the lavender ice cream impressed me more, especially given that it was vegan but I didn't notice a difference from regular ice cream. Cocktails were excellent, but pricey. At $17, my cocktail cost more than some of my food dishes. It was unusual and creative, though, mixing scotch, Amaro and other ingredients, and I love that it came garnished with shaved green onion, which actually complimented the flavor of the drink and wasn't a gimmick. All in all, very worth trying, whether because you're a vegan/vegatarian/have a vegan/vegetarian in your life, or because you're just curious to try some creatively mastered food. IMPORTANT NOTE: I would not come here if you have a peanut allergy. The restaurant relies heavily on chopped peanuts for texture or as a garnish, They were sprinkled on both our potatoes and crusted on our avocado. They were very accommodating of my basil allergy and likely take peanut allergies very seriously, but peanuts are so omnipresent here that I wouldn't risk it given how dangerous an allergy it is.
