It's really refreshing for a long term vegetarian from Iowa to be able to eat everything on a menu at restaurant (there are only 2 places where I live that are that way) The food and service was excellent and very efficient. ”

Red Bamboo is a reliably yummy place for lunch or dinner -- and they do great platters for events too. ”

The desserts are absolutely to die for - excellent cakes (try the Peanut Butter Tandy Cake), delicious non-dairy ice cream and even better milkshakes! ”

The food is really great. ”

The food is great though and one of the most inventive vegan/veggie places I have ever been to. ”
