Vegetarian-friendly restaurant in SOMA
I have a couple of 30-ish guys visiting from our offshore team in India and want to take them for cocktails and dinner next week. I'm looking for a memorable place but casual enough that they won't feel out of place in jeans. We're a mix of vegetarians and omnivores, so it should have some good vegetarian selections. They seem pretty open to any type of cuisine but I'd prefer not to take them to an Indian place since that's where they're from (Bangalore.) This is a going-away/thank you dinner so I'd like it to be something uniquely San Franciscan.
$20-30 entree price range. Walking distance from 2nd/Folsom would be ideal but I will have a car so we can go anywhere.
