Manzanita Restaurant

I really do think this is one of the very best restaurants in the United States. The food is consistently exquisite and always healthy. The meals (They have a very small set menu) are always balanced in taste and my body always thanks me for going there. The interior is nothing special, but it is more than made up for with the great food. It hearkens back to the time when a restaurant was for restoring the health of a person, not just entertaining the palette. I am glad to say that Manzanita does both. more

This is one of the few restaurants that reliably makes me feel great and full afterward. They used to be the Organic Macrobiotic Cafe and Grocery, or something along those lines; now they serve more or less the same food, at the same prices, without the grocery party and with a little more "pretty" in the space. All their food is vegan and macrobiotic and, I think, organic; what this means is not that it is "yucky," but that people who are not vegan or macrobiotic will always meet new foods there that are really delicious. Rather than a big menu, they have two or three meals listed which vary in size more than in kind, and people can create their own meals by ordering a la carte from what is listed in the big medium and small meals. Oh, just try it - you'll be glad you did. more
