likely late, but here's my 2 cents. i've had the caribbean chard and coconut noodle dish and it was good.

the others that i'd recommend have onions and garlic though - the mexican platter and the fettucine.

chips and salsa are also a good get.

wasn't too enamored with the handrolls.

what you end up getting? you ever eat at jubbs or any of the other places in the area?

Other than the Big Moc, I like the sausage pizza, the burrito, and the sesame salad the best. Oh, and like most of the appetizers too.

Their salads are good too, but I hate recommending salads. So easy to make yourself, ya know?

I just had the Big Moc , sausage pizza and the mexican platter a couple of weeks ago...(my 1st raw food restaurant) I shared and sampled with a friend. It was all VERY GOOD, however the tortillas that came with the platter was the gift that kept on giving!! lol.. I had some for lunch the following day my tummy didn't appreciate it. Next time I will bypass the mexican platter..

I ended up getting the indian platter. basically two chic pea cakes, accompanied with mango chutney and sauce along with this very good cauliflower dish. i really dig cauliflower and really liked this. i'm about to eat the side salad they gave me now.

big moc is def my favorite. next up is the caribbean chard/coconut noodle dish and the sausage pizza.

i got a veggie burger from jubbs once which was cool but haven't stopped by that many times.

charles, i agree about the salads. i usually like to try some interesting gourmet dish that I couldn't make when ordering out.

Sorry, I meant the seaweed salad, not sesame salad. Although I think there's sesame seeds on it anyway.

I really need to get you up to Raw Soul one day. Itching to know what you'll think of their burgers.

Oh, you gotta try the"bagel" at Quintessence, which is their kamut bread with cream cheese and these "fried" onions.

never had the big moc. had the meatball dish when that was available and wasn't a huge fan.

i'd recommend jubbs as a take out spot in that area. just prepare to wait like 30 mins for the food, so when it only takes 20 you are happy. it's good though.

there are so many places in the east village...it's great.

their new salad, it's on the top of the menu, with endive and faux cream cheese is UN. FREAKING. BELIEVABLE. You must try it.

so i finally had this big moc that i kept on hearing about. it was surprisingly good. one of the better burgers that i've had and didn't taste like mashed mush.

had the coconut something or other soup, which was very good as well and the banana split sundae for dessert. thought that was ok. after hearing a lot of hype around the chia seed pudding was most interested in that and it was ok, but def gave me some ideas on making my own stuff.

anyone else notice that the quintessence site's been hacked or something?

Yeah I did notice that when u go it has this big"AttackSite" thing going on. It's been there awhile because I had been checking it out a few weeks ago to go there and it was already coming up.
But I'll go with the recommendations from u guys...looks like Big Moc it is.
