One Salad was spinach, ridicio, pumpkin seeds, carmelized onion and cheese shavings with vinaigrette. Was okay, any other restaurant it would be good but since it's Greens we have higher standards. The fig salad was more on par with Greens expectation. Figs were charred so they were served warm, sweet and creaming with creme fresh piped in the center. The watercress and cantaloupe had a nice citrus vinaigrette. Excellente vinaigrette!
Spinach raviolli was filled with a soft mozzarella which melty gooey-ness. The sauce I can only guess was butter based, and tasty. Mixed about were pine nuts, sweet tomatoes, spinach and purple colored basil.
The mushroom custard tart was the best thing. I usually hate how tarts have a thick oily crust, but this was done well with the cream o'mushroom flavor throughout. The mushrooms were some exotic kind which I can't name but it was nice and chunky. Sides were great; Perfectly seasoned rosemary potatoes, yellow and green wax beans with beans, and watercress.
Dessert was little anti-climactic. I forgot I don't really like vegan stuff because I like animal products, so I go and order the vegan chocolate and banana cake. Kinda tasted like carob product and I could tell there was no dairy in the solid chocolate hunk. Was okay, we ate a good portion. The other dessert was chocolate icecream served over hazelnut cookie macaroon and caramel. We actually had it before so we knew it would be good.
Greens experince is always preety good. You need reservations because the restaurant is very popular. The service is very solid and attentive. Our reservation was at 6:45pm so it's perfect time of the day to dine with the sunset.
