Eden Alley in Kansas City

*Casie Here*
We went to Eden Alley for dinner (their website HERE), another vegan restaurant. We loved the entire atmosphere. It was a huge basement room of this Unity building. Very open and the tables were really spread out. For some reason it was really relaxing. It was clean and bright with fun paintings, photos and colors. Especially the tables. Each one was different. 
They had this cool poem on their board for Valentines Day.

They had a Friday night Date special an appetizer, 2 entrees and dessert for $30 +tax and a $1 off all speciality drinks!!! How great was that? We got the dip duet (actually trio) with baba ghanouj, hummus and spinach dip. The spinach dip was a warm dip made with baby spinach and Yukon potato, onions, curried spices and nutritional yeast topped with tomato apple and raisin chutney.
 We loved all of them. The middle one was like a spicy olive dip.

 We got the Ginger honey crystals hot tea. Raw ginger extract forms the base for an exquisitely smooth taste and boy was it strong. Like our mouth's were on FIRE from all the spicy ginger. A good fire, but still.... It felt healthy though so we made sure to finish it! We loved the huge, rustic mugs.

 WOW this salad was delicious. It was the CHEF'S CHOICE SALAD and had brown rice, taziki, hummus, vegan cheese, falafel crumbles, cucumber and tomato with sunflower red wine vinaigrette, an assorted spring mix and toasted pita. The topping was our favorite part.

 Vernon had the baba broccoli melt. It was chick pea potato pancakes laced with creamy baba ghanouj, crumbled falafel, baked and folded, topped with steamed broccoli flowers, chili cumin cashew cheese sauce and tomato apple red raisin chutney.
 The spinach and mushroom loaf was made with artisan bread crumbs, fresh spinach, mushrooms, onions, brown rice, central soy tofu, garlic, thyme and oregano. It was served with roasted sweet potatoes and topped with our tomato basil coulee.

 We had the red velvet beet cake. You could taste the beets a little bit. It was good, but a touch dry.
 Our waitress was so nice. We really, really liked her. She took her time explaining things to us and when through a bunch of different items on the menu. She was really helpful and very friendly. She even gave us tips on other Vegan restaurants in town!!!
We will definitely be back when we are in KC again.
