Description:
- A statue bearing a resemblance to the Indian deity Ganesha guards the entrance of this romantic restaurant on Manhattan's Upper East Side. This venue's innovative menu featuring vegetarian fare made with seasonal, organic ingredients keeps the crowds coming back for more. Specialty cocktails such as the Ginger Rush, followed by delicious entrees such as the popular Seitan Piccata and the Porcini-crusted Tofu rounded out with a wholesome desert of Live Ginger Apple Parfait make for a filling vegetarian meal where meat and potatoes are barely missed. The menu also features Gluten Free choices as well as a Prix-Fix Brunch Menu.
