Vegetarian-friendly, moderately-priced restaurant for dinner near Irvine?
Looking for a dinner spot that is vegetarian-friendly in or near Irvine (e.g., Newport, Costa Mesa, Laguna, Huntington Beach). Looking for something moderately priced (entrees around $20, but there's some flexibility). Casual but festive atmosphere, if possible. Any suggestions? I know about 118 Degrees, but we meat-eaters aren't too into the raw foods thing. An ideal restaurant would have ample vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. Pizzeria Ortica would have worked, but 2 of the 4 of us were just there and want to go somewhere else. Thoughts?
