Millenium Restaurant

This is simply one of the worst places I've eaten. Simply put, it is the type of eatery that gives meat eaters the ammunition to criticize.

Before I get into it, I think the vegetarian lifestyle and movement is important (I personally think people who do eat meat should at least understand where their food comes from, and respect the animal that they're eating not as a commodity but as a living creature); however, that doesn't mean any vege restaurant should get props just because it's in the movement or supports the cause.

Negatives:
1. it's vegan: even though the menu claims to mimic non-vege foods, it doesn't at all. the lack of fat in the cooking leads to basically a plate o' veges thrown about. my gf is a vegetarian and also said she wouldn't go back because of the monotonous flavors...nothing unique aside the attempt at uniqueness in the menu descriptions. here's the thing, flavor of mushrooms or tofu with light sauces doesn't fool the palate at all. they claim you leave frisky or whatever, but that's another word for hungry.

2. $$$$: plates running in the $20+ range is absolutely ridiculous. simple as that.

Positives: drinks were tasty, classy and fun atmosphere (felt like a 40s theater)

Do yourself a favor and find a good restaurant ,and eat a vege dish there that's good. Get a tasty risotto, or a curried tofu dish, etc at places that know how to make vegetarian food. It doesn't have to be an elitist niche movement.

I visited this restaurant twice in the last couple weeks, and thoroughly enjoyed the food. Rarely will you find a vegetarian restaurant where the environment/atmosphere is more upscale (typically they are very casual joints) so this is a refreshing change of pace. It's also nice to know that anything you order off the menu is 'safe', and you won't have to quiz a reluctant waiter about whether a veggie dish really is vegetarian. The menu can be overwhelming - although very descriptive, it is rather difficult to get a sense of what exactly you are ordering and what it will look like, so you'll need help from your server. The Erbette Chard Roulade was very good, it's a hollowed out bread roll filled with tofu cheese and chard, topped with mushrooms and black beluga lentils on the side. Also tried the Carrot Bolognese, this one I'm not quite sure what is in it except the carrots, but still very good. The flavors are strong so you likely wouldn't have the same dish twice within a few days, but that just means you get to try different dishes. The chocolate cheesecake is very good - tasted nothing like cheesecake, which was not an issue - rich, with berries and sauce on the side. The vanilla bean cream tartlette was a disappointment though, it is a small crunchy tart shell filled with cream and topped with little cubes of strawberry and pineapple. Just not that good, especially for the price. The only real turnoff is the hostess (the one wearing cowboy boots) - she tries to act snooty for no apparent reason, when she should be welcoming guests. But overall, I think it's a great restaurant experience.

My boyfriend surprised me with reservations here. I was shocked by the extensive menu and sophisticated ambience. Beingabel to choose anything on the menu and know that I will love it was thrilling. We had three courses plus the olive plate. Delicious! Not even the bill could tarnish theentire experience. It was quite the romantic gesture at the perfect veggie restaurant for me!

We were in San Francisco for our 10th anniversary. Dinner at Millennium was certainly a highlight. bar selection was fantastic - my hunny likes good beers/ales. the food was packed with flavor! we enjoyed a leisurely meal instead of being rushed out of the restaurant - our meal took 2 hours. what a treat! Even non vegetarians will enjoy this place!

Delicious. Simply amazing. A vegan gastronomical joy. There are few pure vegetarian restaurants, but none other compares to Millennium. The dining room is beautiful, no complaints about the service. And lemme tell you: I miss dessert and it's been a very long time since I've had one as decadent and soul-satisfying as the molten-chocolate confection I just had the pleasure to enjoy. Pure, sweet, bliss.
