Wonderfuly creative
Joy Meadow is quickly becoming one of my favored restaurants on the SF Peninsula. They have a wide and diverse selection of vegetarian dishes (lots of choices for carnivores too). The unique and creative combinations used in many of the dishes continually delight me. The food is generally rather tasty, though not particuarly dazzling, and the prices are most reasonable (a $7 dish from the so called "light and tasty" section of the menu is easily a full meal on its own).

The service could use some improvement. It seems that the owners are also the floor staff, and often are looking to other things than the customers. Which is not to say they are rude or in any way unpleasant, but are often distracted. The decor includes an indoor waterfall and koi pond, which not only provides a pleasant back drop, but gentle white noise that helps mask conversations at other tables.
All and all it's a quite enjoyable eating experience.    [03 Mar 2001 19:42:16]
