First, remember you are eating from a menu that changes twice a day, every day. That is a lot of work! Second, you must remember that they are not going for exotic or five-star, Moosewood is aiming at family-friendly dining. Third (and to me the most important) Moosewood buys local, organic produce much of the time, composts everything, and has quite sustainable practices. Does that not whet the tastebuds in an of itself? You also have to remember the HISTORY of Moosewood...how many restaurants can say that they were started by a group of hippies living communally in the 70's, of which many STILL work there today as waitresses, cooks, and bartenders. Also, depending on the day you eat there, the food is different, because there are many different cooks! If you have the chance to meet a Moosewood expert, you will know exactly what to get, and what are the best dishes. No, Moosewood does not have THE MOST EXCITING food in and of itself, but as a whole package it is good for the mind, body, soul, and conscience.
