This was my first visit to Village Natural, and it will likely be my last--the food wasn't horrible, but with so many great vegetarian and natural-foods restaurant in the city, why bother with a mediocre establishment? And that's exactly what this was. The faux meat was oversalted and underwhelming, my salad was heaped with unmentioned and unwanted chunks of plain raw tofu, and many of the menu items were overpriced (my dining companion got the roasted artichoke with garlic and sesame sauce, which sounded interesting but turned out to just be a regular boiled-looking artichoke with a bunch of garlic on it, for $6.50).
Pros: Good location, cute atmosphere
Cons: Bad food, mediocre service
