I really wanted to make this
meal, but I don't own 'Eat, Drink & Be Vegan'.
So I surfed the net and found a
recipe from Whole Foods that sounded similar and about my speed.
First you marinate the Tempeh in Sesame Oil, Tamari, Mirin, Garlic & Onion. Then you toss the Sweet Potatoes with Olive Oil, Cinnamon, Ginger and a little of the Tempeh marinade.
After sauteeing the Tempeh, the Sweet Potatoes are tossed into the skillet, then all of it went into the oven for a half hour.
Served with a sautee of Kale, Garlic & White Beans. It was very scrumptious! I will make it again. Thanks for the inspiration,
Nora!
The building was formerly a Chinese restaurant for many years. I was surprised to see it was now Vespucci. 
The $20 AYCE buffet includes one glass of Champagne as well as Tofu Scramble:
Buckwheat/Whole Wheat Pancakes:
Vegetable Soup, Salad:
Spinach, Eggplant..
Store bought French Rolls, Raw "Spaghetti"/Squash with Raw Tomato Sauce, a dip composed of Sun-dried Tomatoes, Olives, Basil, Parsley and Tofu and Quinoa Salad...
Fresh fruit and sweet Rice for dessert.
...and a cup of Vegetable Soup.
They've only been offering the vegan buffet for a month and are still working out the amount/type of food offered. My personal opinion is that $20/pp is way over-priced for what was served today. None of the food was exceptional or unusual (unless you consider the raw spaghetti unusual) or even organic that I could determine. Why offer Tofu Scramble (Soy) and French Rolls (white flour) but no Veggie Sausages, Grits, Oatmeal, Hash Browns etc? I'd choose the salad bar/hot bar at Whole Foods over this any day.
I wanted to try the Baba Ganoush, but it wasn't ready yet, so I got the Salata Horiatiki sans cheese. 
Carry-out from 
Finally, today's lunch of Falafel from 
Complimentary Warm Pita Bread and fruity Olive Oil are served before the meal. (Along with a huge chunk of feta cheese).
Our Hummus appetizer. The Hummus was very smooth and light. 
I ordered the Salata Horiatiki for $6.99. Fresh Tomato, Cucumber, Mixed Olives, Red Onion with Lemon-Oregano Vinaigrette, Fresh Romaine and Pine Nuts. It was a massive portion.
Mr. SV had the Grilled Vegetable Kabobs for $10.99. They were served with Basmati Rice, some Hummus and Tzatziki Sauce.
I subbed Agave Nectar for the honey...
It turned out really well (there's Basil in there somewhere). We devoured all of it, so it's definitely a good recipe, but I'm not sure how I feel about using up eight gorgeous Tomatoes for one dinner.
I ordered the Spicy Veggie Sandwich:
Hummus, Black Olives, Lettuce, Tomato, Red Onion, Banana Peppers and Corn on Ciabatta roll w/ Fries for $6.25. It was messy, but so good. Plus the fries were amongst the best I've ever had. Very similar to Thrasher's Fries on the Ocean City, MD boardwalk.
All the wines come with a little description card which is helpful.
Lunch today was $4 more than my usual Burrito Bol at Chipotle. Tasty but not worth the price difference.
For $35 per person they offer a three-course lunch and they advertise it as very vegetarian friendly. The chef said that vegan is no problem.
The first course was a deeply flavored Tomato Soup with Dill and I figured this was going to be one of those frou-frou meals where I'll still be hungry afterwards. I was wrong.
The second course featured Mushrooms on Pasta sauteed with Sherry and Shallots, Roasted Red Peppers, Haricot Verts, Fluffy Indian Rice, Roasted Baby Eggplant, Flatbread, Mixed Greens tossed with fresh Melon in an Orange Viniagrette and an exotic Fig naturally coated with crystallized sugar.
The third course was grilled Pineapple topped with fresh Blueberries and Strawberries.
The friendly service and bucolic view from the dining room made the $35 per person seem like a steal. It was so fantastic, before we left, we made reservations to go back.
