I want to take someone out to a nice restaurant as a thank you… something memorable and beautiful, but not necessarily super-upscale (though it could be).
I’m vegetarian (not vegan); he isn’t.
Looking for cuisine that’s not too spicy or exotic but is very well-prepared, beautiful, fresh, delicious.

“Amazing” is a high standard. I would choose Vespertine. Vespertine FAQ 5:17
Non-vegetarian restaurants that do great things with vegetables:
Gjelina
Chi Spacca
Rustic Canyon
Majordomo
Le Comptoir. Gorgeous vegetarian multi-course counter seating menu with some non-veg substitutions available for an upcharge. But, the only beverage options are still water, a very pricy wine pairing, and designer coffee at the end of the meal. No BYOB.
at the lower-end of this, i love those grilled veggies at le great outdoor. mazal and borit gogae are also good for more casual options. i also think that the veggie options at anajak thai are fantastic — the best things on the menu.
Been wondering about this place. Grilled veggies would be enough to get me to visit…
Second the Le Comptoir and Borit Gogae mentions here. Shunji is a vegetable whisperer also, but the veggies are part of a pre-set omakase.

I third Le Comptoir. When I went there was a man who brought his own wine but that was years ago and rules might’ve changed.
