GREAT food and atmosphere

by Jenni M at Citysearch

Horizons food is AMAZING and the atmosphere at the restaurant is warm and relaxing. I always leave feeling uplifted and with my tastebuds celebrating.

I am vegetarian, but my husband is not, and this is one of his favorite restaurants too.

We had our wedding lunch at Horizons, and it was absolutely perfect.. the appetizers and served food were beautiful and delicious, the atmosphere was great, and they even surprised us with a mini wedding cake. I was worried that a couple of the guests may not like the vegan food, but everyone raved about the food.

Do not like the vegan label intimidate you

This is an excellent restaurant. It was nice to go into such a nice place and have a delicious, completely vegan meal. I recommend this to vegans and meat eaters. It's a great place. And do not forget the desert its the best part!

OK, but way, way overpriced

I heard great things about Horizons , but the experience left me underwhelmed and feeling more than a little ripped off.

First off, the specialty drinks were simply awful. El Passion is some combination of Tequila, mashed fruit pulp, and lime. It was DIABOLICAL. Tasted like bitter orange peel mixed with booze. To be avoided at all costs! My friend was not impressed with her Mojito like drink either (can't remember the name of it). To be fair, the Long Island Ice Teas we ordered afterwards were expertly made and delicious.

The First Course: Vietnamese Bruschetta. Absolutely delicious. A cracker like piece of bruschetta topped with perfectly seasoned tofu and topped with a dollop of spicy mint relish. Probably one of the best tofu dishes I have ever eaten. Do not miss this one.

The Second Course: DO NOT ORDER THE GRILLED SEITAN!!! Tastes exactly, and I mean absolutely exactly like Morningstar Farms Steak Strips. The mashed potato and spinach could not mask the flat, chewy and outright boring taste of this spongy entree. It also happens to be the most expensive thing on the menu at $21. I was very disappointed. You could make the same thing at home for less than $10.

Dessert: Blueberry Cheesecake was delicious, but at $9 a slice, you'll hate yourself after you devour the whole thing within 3 or 4 bites.

All in all, the food isn't bad, but way, way overpriced. Treat yourself if you are curious, but honestly, there are better places to eat veg in the city (Singapore, falafel at Cedar's)

• Pros: One of a kind menu
• Cons: Price
