Someone recommended this veggie restaurant and I went there looking forward to their vegetarian dishes. Even though the food was acceptable, the customer service was awful. We waited 45 minutes to get our appetizer and another 40 minutes to get our entrees. This demonstrates the restaurant's service was mediocre because other people who arrived later than we did, had their... More

I have been going to ION for over 20 years. In the past I have brought friends from out of town and out of state and they have all loved the food. The last time I was there, in the fall of last year, the food wasn't great and neither was the service. I just figured it was a bad... More

So...we really enjoyed the food. I tried the tempeh "crab" cakes and thought they were excellent. My daughter loved the mac and cheese. And we all loved the sweet potato fries. The service was okay but not great. It was a busy night and the server did not make it by our table until we were done eating. My biggest... More

the service was terrible ... the food was mediocre at best ... the dining area was dirty ... everything on the menu was overpriced ... the whole dining experience was a big disappointment ... there was an extremely limited menu ... many items on the menu were not available ... I will not go back there again !!!

My son chose this eatery for his graduation dinner. He is a vegan and most of us were not. They made vegan food very tasty! You would not know you were eating vegan. He eats here alot. I would too if it were a bit closer to me!

Nice all around. Tucked in a mall with easy access from the parking lot or entering the mall from Main St. Since I like crunch, there are a lot of 'healthy' items that come fried. Makes me happy. I think they are a bit pricey but this won't keep me from going back. Really enjoy sitting on the deck sharing... More

Another landmark Resturant in middletown. ION has been around for as long as I remember and it's funky atmosphere, friendly staff and creative menu always satisfy. If you love vegan this is the place to visit in central Connecticut.

We went to It's Only Natural last night, for the first time this year and what a let down. It's always been expensive, but worth it for the quality of food and service. The first clue that all was not right came when the place was half empty - it used to be packed out. Having to wait 45 minutes... More

I know everybody raves about this place, but I'm not a vegan, and there was nothing which appealed to me whatsoever. The food is all seasoned pretty heavily, and I appreciate it for what it is. However, I can't see why they don't have SOME blander sandwiches. I think a restaurant should not be a place where you'd have to... More

You would not expect to find this funky cafe in a strip mall but I have to give them alot of credit....the food was tasty, full of spices and the price point right on target. I love that they display local artist on the walls. It is not easy trying to maintain a successful all natural (vegetarian) menu and the... More
