Eric Tucker (executive chef at Millennium Restaurant in San Francisco), Lacey Sher (former owner of Down To Earth Restaurant in Red Bank, New Jersey), and Linda Braz opened Encuentro Cafe & Wine Bar about three years ago and has been serving vegetarian and vegan cuisine for dinner since then. I don’t remember exactly what I ordered shortly after they opened, but I can tell you it was mushroomy and delicious. And the smoky red wine complemented the dish perfectly. They just added brunch service last weekend with dishes including Authentic Bagels ($1.50), Biscuit with Tempeh Sausage Country Gravy ($9) and Frittata of the Day with Mixed Greens ($9). This is good news, especially for everyone that lives in Jack London Square.
