First taste: Hale Macrobiotic Restaurant

The quinoa and tempeh salad with balsamic dressing ($12.75), was a large plateful of mixed greens topped with a mound of steamed quinoa (a tender, healthful grain), a scattering of fried tempeh cubes glazed with a mahogany-colored teriyaki tempeh and drizzled with sweetish balsamic dressing. Close your eyes and you'd be sure you were eating pork, but without the stringiness that often characterizes the meat.
