Vegetarians: Spoodles,Mama Melrose, Brown Derby?

[PrincessKitty1]

Any thoughts/impressions/reviews of your meals in any of these restaurants?

We have upcoming ADRs at Spoodles in 2 weeks, Christmas (Eve?--can't remember) reservations at Mama Melrose, and I have never been seriously tempted by the Brown Derby, except I've read the decor and atmosphere is impressive. Thanks!

We have eaten vegetarian in all three restaurants. There are more options at Spoodles and Mama Melrose. There are many vegetarian appetizers in both places. Spoodles has a gnocchi (sp?) veggie entre, but will also make the rigatoni without the sausage. We had both and liked both very much. Mama Melrose has several veggie entres. I liked the food at both restaurants, and we've eated at both many, many times. I find Spoodles a little noisier, I think due to the open kitchen.

I think we only had a single entree at Brown Derby, but the service was fantastic, and the decor is beautiful. Our kids (21, 19, and 12) wouldn't care for the food, so we went without them.
