Calling all vegans/vegetarians, whatever...If health food is YOUR thing unlike mine, this will be your mecca. Only healthy food graces the pages of their menu. Service was good though. Since this restaurant is located directly across from The Ivy, watch your step when leaving. You just might trip over some papparazi.

The hostess lacks a smile (unless I suppose you are a movie star), but the waiters are relatively friendly. The menu is filled with tofu, greens and soy, so if you are an avid meat and fat eater, do not come here. If your thing is eating healthy and staying trendy, this is the place to go and people watch. It's always busy and the smooties can be taken away (the red ape is delicious), worth a look while shopping on robertson.

Getting here on a Sunday at noon I thought there would be a long wait, but we were seated promptly. My experience with health food restaurants is limited, but I found the food wonderful. I'm not a big artichoke person, but the grilled artichoke with the tofunaise was very tasty. I'd also recommend the chicken sandwich with avocado, it was fantastic. The only bad thing I have to say is the waitress we had was pretty terrible, and I felt like she was rushing. Asking her for suggestions seemed like I punched her in the stomach. Getting the check was a chore in itself. Adding to that parking is ridiculous. I was there for a little over an hour and it cost me $7 to get out of the parking structure. Find street parking if you can or park further away. The smoothies weren't anything special, Jamba Juice is better.

The food is so good, healthy, and often unique...the wait staff is generally friendly while the host staff seems to think they're guarding the site of the Holy Grail or something...even when it's not busy. Great tea and juice selection, everything I've ever had here has been really good (and I've had a lot!)! They have an extensive menu and allow for customizing all their options. The portions are often large enough to share a few things...the tofu/mayo alternative is so yummy, I'd eat it on it's own....

You can always walk out of Newsroom feeling healthy and content plus it doesn't burn a hole in your pocket. I would recommend getting one of the many salads they offer. It's fun also for the celeb spotting there.
