I honestly didn't know what to expect when I walked into Greens for

dinner the other night. Would the food at this vegetarian restaurant,

now celebrating its 25th anniversary, be as exciting and innovative

as when it first opened? Would its upscale amenities still impress

vegetarian and meat-eating diners alike? How would the experience

compare with elegant, cutting edge Roxanne's whose " living food "

creations devised in a laboratory/kitchen redefine radical

vegetarianism?

 

I made a reservation for two under an assumed name several days in

advance, and was elated when we were led to a table right by Greens'

dramatic west-facing wall of windows. The long, wooden, warehouse-

like building sits over the water next to the Marina harbor,

affording spectacular views of the Golden Gate Bridge, the Marin

hills and the setting sun. As the sun goes down, the shades go up,

and votive candles on the handcrafted wooden tables begin to flicker.

The transformation is magical, an only-in-San Francisco experience.

 

And so is the food, most of which comes from nearby Green Gulch Farm,

the Zen Center garden on Highway 1 (nearly in view), as well as other

local farms. From the beginning, the Greens kitchen sought out an

international market basket of high-quality ingredients and did not

shy away from cheese, dairy and eggs. This culinary inclusiveness

within a non-meat discipline gives dimension and richness to the

cooking, though some very successful dishes are made without any

animal products at all. The range of flavors and texture, and the

refinement of the cooking, pleases everyone -- omnivores, vegetarians

and vegans.
