I am not sure what the cosmic reason is, but for some reason, vegetarian/vegan restaurants all seem to suffer from really slow service.  :sleep:

The lone exception I find in San Diego is a place called Sipz, which actually seems to function like a "regular" restaurant, where some one seats you and before long, there are drinks and you are placing an order. I realize that there may be delays in the kitchen especially in small yet popular places where you order and you wait awhile for them to cook it. I am just speaking of the experience between when you enter and when you place the order.

Admittedly, I haven't tried them all, but I will.

do you find the same thing where you live??
