Long before smoke-free became P.C., the airy, peaceful Good Earth dining room has been a bastion of culinary Zen. The servers know the menu inside and out and do everything they can to facilitate a holistic dining experience for the crowd of college kids and organic foodies that frequent here. The health-conscious menu features cashew-chicken salad, vegetable wraps and adzuki-pinto bean burritos. For dessert, there are fruit smoothies and baked goods.
