Editorial Review for Inn of the Seventh Ray – by Jane Tunks
The Scene
Burning incense and trees strung with twinkling white lights set the lushly romantic mood. There are even a few secluded gazebos perfect for popping the question. Other tables are clustered along meandering paths with a brook burbling nearby.
The Food
This organic restaurant serves food made from all-natural ingredients only: no refined sugar or bleached flour, minimal use of dairy products. Vegan and vegetarian entrees such as sesame-encrusted tofu roulade and a hoisin-glazed grilled vegan duck take center stage, but carnivores should stick with the much-tastier meat dishes. Particularly satisfying is the rich pistachio-encrusted seared lamb rack. All-natural desserts will still please a sweet tooth--try the chef's creme brulee or the Vermont maple cheesecake.

Insider Tips
Know Before You GoClosing times are only suggested--they'll stay open till the last customer leaves the restaurant. For weekends, this sometimes means you can still get seated after 10pm.
The ExtrasIf you don't eat your way to enlightenment, you can at least pick up some inspirational reading at the Spiral Staircase, a New-Age bookstore attached to the restaurant.

We went with friends Saturday night to celebrate our joint wedding anniversaries. Reviews we read had been very mixed so we were not sure what to expect. The entire evening was fantastic! We had opening time reservations at 5:30 and, since it felt chilly outside, opted to sit inside next to the roaring fire. It was cozy and romantic. The food was absolutely incredible as was the service. Yes, it is expensive but the ingredient combinations were pure haute gourmet and well worth it. Everyting arrived in a timely manner and the staff was friendly and attentive. We all felt the evening was magical!
Pros: Ambience, service, food
Cons: None

If you are planning a relaxing or romantic meal, this restaurant is perfect. I went for lunch the other day with my sister for the first time and was first impressed that customers seat themselves anywhere they want, whether it be secluded in the gazebo or in the sun by the fountain. Service was slow and we didn't get refills on our drinks but it paid off when the food came (after quite a long time- again, expect the long wait). I ordered the roasted vegetable flatbread sandwich, and it was absolutely fantastic. My sister got the salad and also enjoyed it. We had ordered the cheese plate as an appetizer but it never came. When we told the waitress, she insisted that we get it to eat after our meal, 'on the house,' and it was excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant if you have time and are looking for a special, intimate dining experience.
Pros: food, atmosphere
Cons: service, time
