I must admit the concept of raw, vegan food was foreign to me. All I can say is I am so grateful to have an open mind to trying new things. My first exposure to Chef Marci and her amazing creations was in early September, about 2 months prior to the writing of this post. My passion is nutrition. I understand the principles and benefits of plant based, raw foods. What I did not understand is how a skillful, creative chef like Marci can take simple, natural produce, other natural and homemade ingredients and deliver the most amazing culinary experience in a beautiful presentation. Best of all, it's very affordable. The offerings include seasonal entrees (most or all are about $8.00), my favorites are the Bhuda Bowl which is by far the best and most beautiful salad you will ever experience (edible flowers!), the tacos - you will not believe these are vegan, and the alfredo sauce on yellow squash noodles will make you forget there is no butter or dairy in them. I highly recommend this artisan food establishment, it truly is a culinary experience that is good for you. Juices - the green drink is a staple of existence for me. All the juice drinks are alive with nutrition and so delicious. Blenders - creativity kicks in with these. I love the seasonality and availability aspects of the daily menu. It's dynamic, fresh and never boring. Results - Once I discovered In The Raw Test Kitchen & Juice Bar, I decided to take the raw food challenge. Get this, in less than 60 days I have lost over 35lbs! The only change in my lifestyle was incorporating a couple of green drinks and an entree everyday. I still eat other foods, but my body seems to be quite happy with the nutrient dense foods I get from Chef Marci's establishment. I would give it 10 stars if I could. This concept is needed here, it provides a healthy alternative. Thank you Chef Marci.

This place serves the most delicious vegetarian food I have tasted in 40 years of being a vegetarian! I can’t believe our luck in having this restaurant in Hot Springs. Marcie serves food that you would pay three times the price for in London or New York. A gourmet delight with sensational flavors at a great price. Thank you. My husband and I really look forward to visiting your new site.
