What People Are Saying About Ecopolitan Raw Food Restaurant

In Short – The quiet, mellow atmosphere suits the simple, super-healthy food in this apartment building-turned-restaurant. Folk music plays as young hipsters and the health conscious dine on raw, vegan dishes (the theory is that food loses some of its nutrients when cooked). Everything on the menu is organic. Starters feature guacamole, served with fresh salsa fresca, and hearty salads like the strawberry-spinach mix tossed with pecans and sunflower seeds. Creative entrees include zucchini "noodles" topped with sun-dried tomato and strawberry marinara.

Ugh, No, Why?
by sarabennett
This place is foul. Ask to take a tour. If you're not offended, well... maybe you deserve to eat at this trashhole. Otherwise, avoid... for your health.
- Pros: You might not die.
- Cons: You might die.

Best Raw Food Around (Only Raw Food Around)
by Alphafood
Today I visited Ecopolitan Restaurant for dinner for the first time. I had checked out their website and expected a bigger place. However I found the diner room quite cozy and quaint . The decor was warm and had a friendly feel, but the music playing in the background didn't match the theme. It sounded like hip hop, then it later changed to country. The server was pleasant and polite and helpful explaining any questions that we had.. Now to the food, I ordered the bruschetta appetizer for myself and my wife. It was good, but to small and had room for improvement. The downside was the onions needed to be diced smaller and the serving size increased. Moving on to the entrees, we decided to go with the flaxseed tostadas. It was delicious, the flavors blended together quite well, with two exceptions. Big pieces of onion and the salsa lacked any life. It was very bland, adding a pinch of sea salt and a dash of cummin would had given it the life it needed. For dessert we had smoothies. They were good, however my smoothie arrived about ten minutes after my wife's smoothie.
- Pros: Best Raw Food Around
- Cons: Room for improvement (Chef taste your food before it leaves the window.)

The most delicious and unique dining experience!~
by nursefluffers
Dr T., a man of vision knew what he was doing when he opened Ecopolitan. I have enjoyed so much on their menu, the food isjust that wonderful. I have enjoyed just about every dessert they serve, the savory pie, the lasagne, they have a strawberry spinach salad that has a place in heaven. I can dine here guilt free and in sheer bliss, the taste sensations and organic vegetables and fruits make for one happy palate.
The staff have always been friendly also, which just adds to the experience. Words don't do it justice, one must go there and experience it first hand
