Vegetarian food, extra fancy style.
I found Maman Terrace on the Happycow.net website. It had some good reviews so I thought I'd check it out.
The lower level is a store selling natural foods. We were sent upstairs to the third floor for dining, and found only one other person there. She left and another person came, and that was the extent of their business while we were there.
Which is too bad, because the food was just excellent. I opted for the fixed price meal, which was $35 and included an amuse bouche, an appetizer (some sort of wheat gluten slices on a bed of cellophane with a tasty sauce), vegetable/bean soup, a main course of three different types of "sushi" (wonderful) with a bowl of brown rice, strawberry cake, and tea. Everything was delicate looking but packed a flavor punch.
Steve ordered a la carte, starting with a beautifully presented appetizer of seven small vegetable bites. Each was flavorful, with its own unique sauce. He then had the soup, and finished with a main course of a mixed fish dish. He reported that there was one nasty fish bit in there, but the rest was very good.
Accompanying our meal was sake served in champagne glasses for $7. We also tried the organic beer, which was yummy.
Our final bill came to about $110. (Several drinks are reflected in the final tally.) The bill felt very fair to me as this was high end fare.
