Let's pretend for a moment, that you are not a vegan/vegetarian, and have no intention to be a vegan/vegetarian. You understand the health benefits, but you're just not into the food. Well then this...

The food was good, but VERY oily. I guess being a vegetarian, i'm not used to so much oil, it was very heavy. Also, one of the waiters seemed very new and actually answered his cell phone in the...
