However, when you talk about upscale restaurants, you're usually lucky to find just one or two meatless choices. Fortunately, a small selection of fine restaurants in town serve ample vegetarian options. One of the better ones is the Union Bay Cafe, a few blocks north of Husky Stadium on Sand Point Way. The colorful artwork in the two dining rooms, by Dennis Evans and Nancy Mee, focuses on natural elements such as wood, stone, water and light, making use of actual stone, gem and pinecone specimens. Evans and Mee also created the interesting food recipes and culinary quotes engraved in frosted glass windows in the entranceway that separates the dining rooms.
Gastronomy is the joy of every condition and every age.
The cuisine is a blend of Northwest and Italian influences. The menu changes seasonally, and a separate sheet offers extensive daily specials. Vegetarian items are denoted with an asterisk, and several are vegan, or can be made vegan. Pastas are made without eggs. The food is art here, too.
