The Scene
Since 1975, this converted bungalow-turned-eatery has charmed regulars with healthy fare and hearty portions. A crowd as eclectic as the menu dines in cozy tables throughout the house--on the back veranda with a view of the tranquil gardens and koi pond, oak-tree shaded front patio (ideal for people-watching) or the antique-filled main dining area. Service is casual and efficient.

The Food
The menu--featuring whole-grain breads and organic produce--excels with salads, sandwiches and vegetarian dishes. Must-try sandwiches include the smoked turkey and Brie, and grilled vegetable sandwich topped with feta cheese and Serrano pepper sauce. Veggie-burger fans can choose from the Boca burger topped with sauteed mushrooms, black-bean burger, or portobello with field greens and basil mayonnaise. It's only fair to mention that the 1/2-pound beef burger is no slouch, either. For lunch or dinner, grilled salmon is ample, served with herbed brown rice. Save room for homemade desserts.

The service was good and they have a small patio out front that is good for nice days. The menu has a lot of variety for vegetarians and/or health conscious eaters. The guacamole and chips appetizer was a good start. The guacamole was above average, the chips and salsa were fresh too. The rotisserie chicken was fantastic! It came with mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables. The gumbo was very good too if you're okay with beans. It has a more authentic taste to it so start off with a cup if you're unsure. I hear most everything on the menu is good and the Sunday brunch is a must have. Definitely plan on coming back.

I grew up in the area and returned for a visit recently. My sister and I went back to Baba Yega's - it's easily been 15 or 20 years! It is still my favorite restaurant in town! I had the Portabella Sandwich..Yum! But everything that I have had there has been wonderful!

The food is fantastic, the price is right, and atmosphere is unique and fun. It has a montrose feel to it, and the service is great! I've been for sunday brunch, a business lunch, and a romantic dinner, and all have been fantastic. The value is right on, and my personal favorite is Pasta night on Tuesdays. It is worth every penny, especailly if you have some hungry boys! It is great! I have been going there for the past year and a half, and will keep going!
