*Disclaimer: not paid for by the restaurant, and didn't get a free meal* While I understand where you are coming from regarding all of your topics, the cost, the stereotypes, portion sizes, etc. Here are some things to consider: - The server (at least in our case), told us that the plate sizes are small, and that typically its best if each person orders one dish from each section. So you could have made the determination on price based on that from jump. - Part of the cost of eating at a Vedge, is clearly the ambiance of the restaurant. It's pretty upscale, especially for a vegan restaurant, primarily the decor, the service, drink options, etc. If you wanted a cheap vegan place, you could have gone to a place like HipCityVeg and sat in a cramped space and had a much cheaper meal. (see next point to further elaborate). - Part of the cost ALSO is that the dishes they are serving aren't even faux meat options, they're using higher quality ingredients, and more interesting plates that cost more to make than a "Chik'n sandwich" or Seitan tips with broccoli.. Sorry to hear you didn't like your experience, but perhaps you should have checked the menu, or read reviews about the place first?
