Candle 79

Candle 79 is a vegan restaurant on Soung's list of places to check out.  Being the nice sister that I am, I of course go with her to try.  Well don't tell her but it was not good and too pricy.  The worst 32.00 I've spent.  Not going to say anything more.  Vegan is enough.  Food is pretty but ugh yuk for me.
