Plant Food & Wine
Sit out on the beautiful patio where you can enjoy nature while you await food that is too pretty to eat and too yummy to share. The environment is very relaxing, and the staff members are passionate and friendly. They proudly offered to give us a tour of the kitchen. There are no ovens, just dehydrators and a Sous-Vide.
The vegan cheese plate incorporated flavors I had never tasted before. It was accompanied by seed crackers and pickled veggies. The flavor combinations will mean you'll have no problem cleaning your plate off, so you'll wanna leave room for dessert.
I dined in for lunch and found out the dinner menu features a few warm meals. This modern restaurant will make you want to get creative with ingredients and flavors in the kitchen.

The concept provides the authentic flavor minus the effort on your end. Restaurant menus can be overwhelming, so here you order off of an iPad after meeting your waiter and can view pictures and read descriptions of menu items.
Zuma
This Asian-Fusion restaurant serves unique foods infused to perfection. The spicy fried tofu with avocado and Japanese herbs created crispy and soft textures in each bite. Try the rice hotpot with wild mushrooms and veggies for a creamy risotto-like dish. Sit inside and enjoy the cool vibes or outside by the water and yachts.
Amore Gelato
Three words: Vegan Hazelnut Gelato. They also have vegan chocolate and vegan almond flavors. Coconut milk is used to create creamy perfection. If you're in the mood for something fruity, they have an assortment of sorbets as well as smoothies and fresh juices.
