Wednesday we brought you a little preview of Source, the brand new vegetarian "multi-dimensional" restaurant that opened in the Design District. Today we bring you a first impression.
The Space: Clean, bright, fresh, and modern. Yes, they do have light displays, a waterfall, and music reminiscent of Blade Runner, but it's not overpowering or new-agey in feel. It's casual—you order up front and grab a table number—and pretty laid back. It is a little stark, and would benefit from some art or paint on the walls, which would bring a little warmth to the atmosphere.

The Staff: Very friendly, welcoming, and super informed. They didn’t have everything on the menu yet (it was only the second day of their soft launch) but they were able to answer all my questions about future plans. Yes, they are trying to develop a gluten-free pizza dough. Yes, they will have vegan cheese soon, and it will be a raw cashew cheese. And yes, their pasta is all gluten-free (made of brown rice). Do you know what this means? It means gluten-free vegans have a new place to eat (that’s pretty rare)!
