Is Cru For You??

After numerous glowing reviews of Cru restaurant in Silverlake, CA, I decided to grab a girlfriend and make my way over there for a post-workout bite to eat.. The first thing that struck me about Cru, was the cozy intimate vibe of the place. Cru is a vegetarian, raw food restaurant that offers a wide style of cuisine and translates these diverse elements into flavorful gourmet offerings.

I started my meal with an appetizer of flaxseed crackers served with cashew cheese and fig paste. It was palatable but nothing revolutionary. My main course was the garden salad with a chili lime vinaigrette. As basic as this sounds, it was extremely flavorful and chock full of delicious organic vegetables. My dining partner started with the treviso bruschetta, which was essentially a lettuce wrap filled with kale and pinenuts, and had the caesar salad as an entree… both were excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant, not only for the health conscious food, but also for the beautiful ambiance and friendly service…
