"Verdine's eco-chic interiors and comfortable blue sofas lend an airy, inviting atmosphere. The restaurant does counter service for lunch and table service for dinner, and the space changes accordingly throughout the day. A menu puts creative, vegan spins on comfort food; the carnitas feature slow-cooked jackfruit instead of pork, roasted corn salsa, chipotle aioli, and pickled red onions; a house burger features a lentil-walnut-mushroom patty. The beet falafel is another standout." - Charu Suri, Diana Oates
