Greens Restaurant
$$, Vegetarian, The Marina
Fodor's Review:
Greens Restaurant. Owned and operated by the San Francisco Zen Center, this nonprofit vegetarian restaurant gets some of its fresh produce from the center's famous Green Gulch organic farm. Floor-to-ceiling windows give diners a sweeping view of the marina and the Golden Gate Bridge. Despite the lack of meat, hearty dishes like the Vietnamese yellow curry with cashew jasmine rice are designed to satisfy. Other standouts include thin-crust pizza with braised greens, sun-dried tomatoes, and three cheeses and fresh pea ravioli with saffron butter. An à la carte menu is offered on weeknights, but on Saturday a $48 four-course prix-fixe dinner is served. Sunday brunch is a good time to watch boaters on the bay. A small counter just inside the front door stocks sandwiches, soups, and sweets for easy takeout.

Worse than any Dining Experience I have ever had!!!!
Posted by Laurie from New Orleans,Louisiana on 7/5/06
I don't usually write reviews but I felt compelled to try to save others from spending a lot of money on really bad food. I am from New Orleans. We evacuated due to Katrina and became vegetarians after cleaning our freezer due to no power for 1 1/2 months.We just came back from a much needed vacation to beautiful California. The only negative experience was at Greens. This was by far the worst food my partner and I have ever had in our lives! It was cold, & tasteless, We had two main entrees and one appetizer. We brought our own bottle of wine and the check was $82. The corkage fee was $15 but the white wine was never placed in a cooler and we poured it ourselves. The server was rarely seen.The tortillas on the two enchiladas were hard . The beans were very cold . My partner had Curry but couldn't even eat it....It was bland and cold. Our appetizer was advertised as different cheeses with warm walnut bread. There were three small pieces of cold walnut bread. Each piece was the size of a 1/4 piece of toast presented with two small squares of two cheeses.Very small portions and Horrible.We're still upset!
