Millennium

The food is okay, with a lot of very unique combinations and concoctions. The spread used on the table butter is made of tofu, for example. Almond butter in entrees. Cashew milk is used in place of dairy. Be ready for something different when you come here!

Pros: good ambience, good lighting, good service

Cons: strange location, not enough tofu plate

The place is the cream of the vegan crop. Imaginative, wonderfully presented, miraculous creations, most low fat and health conscious as well. Stunning complimentary side dishes, wines, desserts, appetizers, main courses- you really cannot go wrong. and look for their monthly event too- like aphrodiasic dinner!

Though I've heard a lot about this restaurant and finally made my reservations. I'd give the restaurant credit for serving a niche market of Vegetarians and for having good service; however the food (taste, menu) did not meet my expectations. Maybe I'm missing something since this restaurant is "recommended", but I found the food unsavory lacking flavor (Bland at best), creativity in ingredients or presentation. There are many better restaurants in SF that I rather go to for a good dinning experience in this price range, decor and service. Even my last chance at the desert was a let down. If you are looking for great vegetarian restaurant go to Herbivore instead.

Pros: Vegetarian, Service

Cons: Food

I took my girlfriend here for Valentine's Day last year. I had reservations and we were seated within 10 minutes. The atmosphere here is great! Excellent lighting and a nice layout. The food however is out of this world! Totally vegan and delicous. I'm not even a vegitarian and I loved every bite. The presentation was nice and waitstaff was able to help me choose a great dinner. I would highly reccomend this place to anyone looking for a unique and memorable dining experience.

Pros: excellent food, atmosphere, variety

Cons: slightly expensive

Delicious. Everything we had here was great, especially the dessert. I do not understand how it can be vegan and so delicious. Knowledgable waitstaff are a great help. A little pricey but worth it!!

I'm not a vegetarian, not even ovo-lacto much less vegan, but I think the food here is outstanding. When I eat at a vegetarian restaurant I do not compare the food with meat dishes. I enjoy the vegetarian dishes for what they are. At Millenium the food is outstanding.

Pros: The food

Cons: None I know of

This excellent vegan restaurant manages to turn out flavorful, rich and hearty dishes without one ounce of anmial products -- no meat, no dairy, nothing! The dishes are imaginative and reassuring at the some time. The ambeince is hip and romantic without being trendy. The service is excellent but not cloying. All in all, one of the City's best dining experience (even for your carnivore friends -- they won't miss the meat!)

When we got there we waited about 10 minutes before the hostess showed up.
Once seated, everyone was great and friendly except our waitress kept on disappearing on us for quite sometime. The food, however was excellent. Definitely try the stuffed squash blossoms and the chocolate lover's dessert. Yummy... nothing wrong with the food here. The ambience was ok, small cobwebs on the ceiling and things are looking a bit run-down but overall a nice cozy place. I would recommend to my friends as long as they weren't expecting to leave quickly. Waiting around for the wait staff might spoil any plans they've made.

My husband - a confirmed meat and dairy lover - accompanied me in a spirit of adventure, but left in awe of the inventive, delectable eats we enjoyed. Our eating experience - every morsel - was nothing short of orgasmic. Try the flourless chocolate cake for dessert, if you have room. Its dairy-free creation proves they work miracles in their kitchen. The one drawback was the dining room's size. Although the decor and ambience please the eye and the spirit, the tables are a bit close together making private conversation difficult.

I went to Millenium with an open mind about vegan food, plus i had heard great things about the place from vegans to carnivores alike. Although the food was good and the service and atmosphere were nice, it will be a one-time experience for me. There was nothing on the menu that really popped out at me as sounding really good and that I had to try it. My entree and my friend's entree weren't particularly flavorful and didn't really stand out in our eyes. The one thing both of us really enjoyed was the butter-substitute spread they serve with their bread which was something to talk about.
So, in the future, it's not a place I'd revisit, especially since the food isn't cheap or convenient and the only draw was that it was an experience to have eaten at a "fancy vegan" restaurant.

Pros: online reservations

and though i am a big fan of the veggie - this was over the top in terms of pure heaven!! go eat here and enjoy nature's food in a gorgeous new way

I have eaten here 6 times wanting it to get better and but it hasn't. If it is in this review, it happened to me 6 times... I made reservations and they always sit me 15-20 minutes late even though tables were available. Host(ess) acted snooty and demeaning. Wait staff was not helpful and acted aloof - avoided eye contact with all tables. Even with reservations, they sat me in the front next to people waiting for tables 3 out of 6 times.

Pros: Creative Food, Good Atmosphere

Cons: No parking, Horrible Service, Expensive
