Saturday lunch was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. Highly recommend the halibut hash with yams. I’ve had it 4 times now and would order it again and again. Some items can be tweaked, if you have dietary restrictions or preferences. We choose to come because there are no seed oils on premises.

The parking was shared with the insurance company next door, so if you park there. You should be fine.

Sarah was so friendly, always smiling. I went inside but requested the outside seat, and she informed me of what she was doing. I liked that. She acknowledged her customers. ❤️❤️

She went to wipe the outside table due to dirt, and yeah, the environment was peaceful. I just there listened to those cars, watched the lake, and enjoyed my meal.

I think in the summer it will be packed.

We had a wonderful breakfast lunch this morning outside. My husband got the egg s’wich and I got the Mediterranean bowl with falafel, and both of our meals were fantastic. The meals have such a great balance off flavors and textures that you can tell the recipes are very intentional. I also got two juices, the raw cacao with chia and the hibiscus one (I think it was called the shizzle), and both were also tasty and well-balanced. I appreciate having a truly healthy restaurant that also tastes delicious! We can’t wait to come back to try more of their menu!

For anyone looking for QUALITY, REAL, FRESH, ORGANIC food, this restaurant is a 10/10. This is now my new favorite restaurant in MN! I was eager to try it after reading the excellent reviews and I have to put my resounding agreement with all of the other 5 star reviews. This place is truly something special. Finding restaurants and business owners who care more about the product and quality than their profit margins is truly rare. EVERY dish is crafted with love, flavor and pure perfection! We truly couldn’t decide what to order because it all looked fabulous! Every dish we ordered was packed with nutritional density, incredible flavor, and fresh organic foods! You won’t find SYSCO sourced food at this restaurant. They go the extra mile in everything they do. The dressings are homemade, the dips are homemade the GF everything is homemade in house all from scratch! Even the oat milk is made in house from scratch! I can hardly wait to go back! It inspired me to create more healthy superfoods in my kitchen again! Everything we ordered was a 10/10. 100 stars! The Miso Ginger salad was SOOOOOO flavorful. I couldn’t even talk to my husband because I just kept commenting “mmmmm!!!” I felt like Bob in “what about Bob” movie in the corn scene. SO GOOD! Flavorful, Truly Fresh, Organic, no seed oils! This spot is a rare gem that Minnesota needed badly. Feels like Laguna Beach food just came to Spring Park! Thank you for the fabulous evening Chef Sarah!

Edited since our first post to say this is by FAR still my favorite restaurant in MN! We’ve come now dozens of times and often drive 40+ min to get here as we live on other side of town. Our 3 children love it too! Seed oil free and you feel light and healthy after eating here. Some of our FAVORITE menu items are: Moroccan Chicken, Japanese Bowl w Salmon, Chipotle Chicken Tostada, Global Bowl, Mediterranean Bowl, Kale or Miso Ginger Salad w/ chicken added, ALL of the fresh juices, the organic berry smoothie with house made Brazil nut milk, and the Homemade bone broth ramens. YUM! Added more photos from some more recent visits. Love this place so much.

Simply put, some of the best food I have had anywhere in Minneapolis. I am writing this review after 3 separate visits for dinner.
Entrees are limited in number but exceptional – I have tried the Moroccan chicken, the salmon and the halibut. All 5 stars and beautifully presented. The flavors are spot on.
Starters – tried asparagus soup, beet salad and amazing freshly baked bread with assorted toppings. Again, all 5 stars, absolutely delicious.
They now have beer and wine. The drink options are limited but well chosen.
The atmosphere is nice casual, with beautiful views out to Spring Park Bay.
Well done Sarah H.

This restaurant offers truly delicious raw vegan food, and it’s worth every bit of the 45-minute drive. Their Pad Thai and Asian Fusion Roll are absolute favorites—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully crafted. If you’re looking for amazing raw vegan cuisine, this spot is a gem!

We had the most fantastic meal here. We learned of Vitalist by Sarah H because they have a contest dish for the Twin Cities Vegan Chef Challenge for 2024.

The raw pad thai sounded so interesting we had to have it. Honestly, it may be one of the best dishes we have ever eaten.
For one, the creativity of it, for two it was absolutely delicious without any guilt.

Good news is that this appears to be a regular menu item. We will be going back and I will tell everyone I know to check this place out.

Huge vegan menu selection and it’s meaningful- all very delicious looking menu options. No skimping just to put a bland or boring vegan option on the menu. The next time we go it will be hard to decide what to order because if the other options are half as good as this was, it will be a winner. Seems like the kind of place you can’t go wrong.

They also have a nice selection of house-made crackers and other healthy snacks. They also have a cooler with juices and tonics for takeout.

Coffee menu looked divine and there were also some baked goods at the cash register.

Also, beautiful view of Lake Minnetonka. Can’t wait to return

I stumbled across this wonderful restaurant yesterday and was amazed to see that a vitalist-themed restaurant had found its way to Minnesota. We stopped by for a light lunch today – the Japanese bowl, Aloe Detox drink, and an espresso. The bowl was super fresh with perfectly cooked salmon on a bed of black rice, with avocado, seaweed, vegetables, and condiments. It tasted amazing and we honestly felt revitalized for the experience. The Aloe drink was great and the espresso was really well done – not too bitter and a nice crema on the top. We’re looking forward to going back and sampling our way through the menu. Nice location too – across the street from a lake and next door to a high-end looking art gallery. We sat outside and watched the world go past as we enjoyed the wonderful food. Our waiter was warm and helpful too!. Oh and everything is gluten-free and organic too!

This restaurant just opened one week ago. With no reviews yet, we hoped for the best and stopped in for lunch. We were very happy with the experience and look forward to returning to try more options from the menu.

We ordered the Mediterranean Taco and the Asian Fusion Wrap. Both dishes were fresh and flavorful. The portions were generous. All or most of the dishes are vegetarian and vegan, but you can add-on chicken, egg or cheese.

Sarah and Apoorva were very welcoming and attentive. Having just opened the restaurant, they are continuing to experiment with new offerings so the menu may be changing often. They offered us a taste of a quiche they were still working on. It tasted excellent. I’ll be ordering that on our next visit.

The Location: Just across the street from Lake Minnetonka. The space is bright with many windows facing the lake to the south. We sat at a table with lots of natural light and views of the lake.

Parking: It wasn’t very clear where to park. They are working on signage to help with parking, but until then, here is the scoop. You can park in the lot under the building. Enter the parking lot on the east side of building. There are signs that say “tenants only” but apparently you can park in this lot. From there you can enter the back of the restaurant through the door in the parking lot. There are also some designated public parking spaces on the street behind the building.

This place is a GEM! We are so fortunate to have Sarah and her talents in MN. The service and view is lovely, and the CARE that Sarah puts into her menu is impeccable. I wish I lived closer!
