Zen Palate

I just returned from an exquist dinner at Zen Palate. The restaurant has a diner component in the front, and a formal dinning room in the back; the menus are quite different, but all dishes are vegitarian. I had the Tapestry Embrance, which is described as "succulent mushroom steak, bran oats, cabbage, tomatoes, mushrooms, soy gluten, vermicelli, and sweet rice on the side in a special teriyaki sauce." This is a rather confusing description, but the dish is easily summed up as being rice, mushroom, and a meat-like mass of vegetable matter with teriyaki sauce and fresh grean beans and asparagus on the side. It was very good. I had a slice of Key Lime pie for desert.
