not so great. I've been to The Inn Season Cafe many times over many years. The food is not as good as it used to be and many of the servers are not pleasant or accomodating. Today the server was especially unhelpful... shrugged her shoulders at me like she could care less. My food probably tasted the best but the other three people in my group said their food was barely average. None of the presentations looked appealing, kinda sloppy and dried out.

Never going back.

Superstar Cuisine. I always enjoy myself at Inn Season because I can get a table on a busy night. Everything you look for in a vegetarian restaurant is done exceptionally well, and is offered with both vege and vegan needs in mind. I've enjoyed all their yummy dinner specials, especially when Thomas wraps them in philo !! I always order their delicious dark Japanese tea, the house salad, and one of their ever-fabulous desserts. I brought a "date" there for dinner a few weeks ago and he LOVED the middle eastern appetizer plate and his veggie burger. He remarked about the atmosphere, and was "ooh-ing and ahh-ing" over everything that came out of the kitchen. We got there at 5:15 and the food came out "lickety-split." The wait staff was highly attentive as they always are, and by the time we left at 6pm, people were lined up outside the door to get in. I lived in the San Francisco Bay area for 20 years where I ate my fare share of vegetarian meals, and meals in places that featured organic only ingredients. I find Inn Season's "Chef Thomas" to be every bit as innovative, and accommodating and dedicated to quality fresh ingredients as any of the so-called superstar eateries in the nation. For my money, Inn Season is a place worthy of a spot on the national map.

AMAZING Vegetarian food, lots of options. Yum! There were so many options on the menu, drinks too. The food was beautiful, all fresh and prepared on the spot. You will have to wait a while (not too long), but it's totally worth it. I would suggest making reservations, the place was packed when we got there and we had to wait for about 30 mins. Overall it was great and I will go there again!

Best Vegetarian!. I've been dining at the Inn Season Cafe for years and could not say a bad word about it. The food is always fresh, local, and mostly organic ingredients. I have tried almost everything on the menu, and have never been disappointed. The specials are always a must. The service there is amazing and I could not imagine the staff there to ever be 'rude' (as other people have reviewed). I personally wish there were more restaurants in the area like Inn Season because they do get quite busy often, but i must say... they're always worth the wait!

Great vegetarian dishes!. Small, quaint, and reminiscent of hotel restaurant in Florence, Italy my boyfriend and I stayed at, Inn Season Cafe uses only the freshest, natural and organic ingredients. Its tucked away from the busy Main St of R.O. off 4th St but you can't miss it because there's usually a crowd (its that good...and popular).

We had the Roasted Red Pepper Hummus w/ Flat bread that was deliciously red peppery but not overwhelming. We thought Beirut Palace's hummus & pita bread were good but the flat bread @ Inn Season was so soft and fluffy! They serve complementary wheat bread which is thick and moist that it went well with the hummus (after we ran out of flat bread).

I had the Quesadilla Grande w/ soy cheese which came w/ their warm housemade salsa. I have to admit warm salsa threw me off but it was still chunky. My boyfriend and the Szechuan Stir Fry which had a peanut sauce that wasn't too peanutty. I think if they fried the tofu lightly instead of steamed-med/firm, it would've had a better "meaty" consistency (my bf isn't a big vegan fan but he still raved about it).

We'll definitely be back for some more red pepper hummus & flat bread and their doughy-moist wheat bread!
