I gave Real Food Daily and overall score of 4.6, or 5 stars, based on the following 7 categories:

number of visits4 of 5, I don't need a menu.
price range3 of 5, Let's splurge tonight; less than $35.

local mainstay?3 of 5, Been here since I've been here.

Comments:
I used to call Real Food Daily my favorite restaurant and visited several times a month. That was before they increased their prices. They just acquired the place next door and expanded by adding a little bakery. And, as is required I think, increased their prices again. One positive from all this food inflation though is that it seems less crowded now. …and it wasn’t the expansion that’s to thank because the bakery brings in a different cast of characters.
The menu is 100% vegan, 100% trans fat free, and 99% organic. On rare occasions, if they have a hard time finding produce to support the menu, they will use conventionally grown. I always order The Basic Three. You can choose three sides and a select a sauce. I usually get either the beans of the day or tempeh, greens of the day or kale, and the veggies of the day. And for your sauce, ask for the 5 spice carrot spread. It’s not on the list, and it is amazing. You can also order prepared plates off the menu like TV Dinner, but those often times are a little salty; though still incredibly good. And for your non-vegan friend, order her the veggie burrito. It has tempeh bacon in it, but she’ll never know.
