“One dish that I'd highly recommend is the Spanish Revival.”
Roger misses the old cozy coffee-lounge feel now that it's a full restaurant, but says service is still great and vegetarian options plentiful; recommends the Spanish Revival egg scramble with soyrizo.

The Haven Pizzeria
Pizza
A dog-friendly Kensington pizza and beer spot Roger found pleasant to hang out at but not worth the premium on the pizza itself; the Cortez pie fared better than the 'New NY.'
