it's only natural

love this place! i now live in south carolina but everytime i come home to visit i always come here!foodis great, i've never been disappointed!

delish!!. i have been here numerous times, at both locations. the selection is always unique with plenty of options. i've been with multiple meat-eaters and they've all enjoyed thefoodand atmosphere. the servers are friendly and give the best recommendations.

great options, high cost. my wife and i have come here many times, but this review is for the most recent visit. as always, the options are fantastic for vegetarians, vegans, and those with other dietary restrictions. on this trip, i ordered the special entree, which was crusted tempeh over a bed of a quinoa-sweet potato mixture and wilted kale. my wife ordered the taco salad, which ion was able to make vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and soy-free. we also split an order of the sweet potato fries, which are a must-have!

thefoodwas all pretty good, but i'm not sure it's quite worth the price. over the last few years, the prices have gone up a considerable amount. granted, a vegetarian/vegan restaurant is going to be more expensive than a "typical" restaurant. but we have actually stopped going to ion as much as we used to because of the price (and that's saying a lot, since there are very few good vegetarian options in connecticut).

our service was good, the ambiance outside is very nice, and we're excited to check it out after the move!

i've eaten there 3 times within the last few weeks. i am a vegan with a 6'4 230lb carnivorous husband and we are both so glad we discovered this restaurant before we have to move back home to canada. satisfying for both of us. deliciousfoodand drink and very cute and quaint atmosphere.

adorable little hippie restaurant with an outdoor patio though the menu is a bit conservative. i ordered the mushroom lentil soup (the special of the day) which was hearty and delicious. also ordered the "tribute" meal which is like a sample platter and couldn't resist the sweet potato fries (yes i ordered this muchfoodby myself, but everything sounded so good). pierogies were a little plain and fries could have been cooked a little longer but all in all i was quite satisfied

you don't have to be a vegetarian to love this place. thefoodis fabulous.

one of the best healthy restaurants outside of nyc. i've been to nyc, and tried several healthy, vegetarian eateries....and it's only natural, (or ion, as it's abbreviated) is one of the best outside of the city!

i first discovered the place in 2006, and have returned every time i am near hartford.

the sweet potato enchiladas are one of the best menu items, and very filling. this past trip, i had a the cajun caesar salad, which had fried cajun tempeh strips on top. for an appetizer, we had the hummus, which was delicious. we split the macrobiotic plate, which is huge and comes with brown rice, steamed vegetables, beans, and seaweed. it was so big we had to take the other half to go!

highly recommend this place; thefoodis fantastic, they use local produce whenever possible, and the staff is friendly....what more could you want?

great sunday brunch. my friend and i went here last sunday for brunch. she got the veggie scramble wrap and i got the vegan pancakes with rasberry sauce, tempe bacon, soy scrambled eggs and a "dirty" chai tea. awesomely awesome! it's only natural is deliciousfoodin a nice, laid back atmosphere (and the wait staff is so cool and friendly).

it's only natural. i have been eating here for over ten years. the menu is creative and thefoodiswonderful.

excellent vegetarian fare!. i've eaten at it's only natural many times, and thefoodis always fresh and delicious! ambiance is casual and relaxed. there are many appetizers, from southern fried tofu to tempeh "crab" cakes to vegetarian chili. the salads are fresh and generously-sized -- try the taco salad with vegan cashew parmesan... delicious! whole grain bread is served with a very tasty carrot-miso spread. the sandwiches and entrees are also good. if you get a dessert, be forewarned that they're good-sized -- probably best to share with a friend. highly recommended.
