Editorial Review for Casa de Luz – by Joe K. Bevilacqua

In Short
Casa de Luz is a nonprofit organization with a dining area, an auditorium, classrooms and gardens. You can eat outside in the garden or on the patio or inside at a small private table. If you're feeling particularly chummy, there's a large communal table, too. The atmosphere is one of friendly tranquility, and the restaurant attracts a diverse crowd. The vegan and macrobiotic menu changes daily and is often designed around an ethnic theme.

User Reviews for Casa de Luz

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Going to Casa's weekend brunch is one of my favorite things to do. It feels good to eat food that is healthful, environmentally conscious, and delicious all at the same time. This buffet-style self-serve restaurant is on the pricier side ($12-15/person) but what you're getting is worth the extra cash. This ain't McDonalds, people. :) Re-fill your plate as many times as you like, even bring your own to-go boxes and get food for the whole day. Amazing.

Pros: Healthy food with a good vibe

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

overpriced yuppie cuisine. it feels like you are joining some kind of cult when you walk in. the place gives a vibe like everyone there is a heavens gate member still waiting for the hale-bopp comet. the food is extremely pricey and totally not worth it... 20 dollars for some brown rice and steamed veggies?! really!? does that come with a side of deep fried gold? its great if you're a soccer mom that needs a story to impress her pilates group... but i think ill pass.

Pros: healthy

Cons: bland, cult like atmosphere, yuppie haven, overpriced, small portions
