WENDY AND TOM DINE OUT

The owners of the Candle Cafe are dedicated to the diner's health through their "commitment to excellent vegetarian cuisine." All ingredients used are organic. The owners "acknowledge the interconnectedness of environment spiritual and physical well-being."

This is definitely not our kind of restaurant! Wendy does not eat soy and many of the dishes were soy based. It was an experience, but one that we will not repeat.
