Local vegans and vegetarians have another place to embrace.

The menu, which will change weekly, features many vegan dishes such as spring rolls, pho (noodle soup), fried rice, smoothies and desserts. See the full menu at LovingCafeFW.com.
Hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays.
For more information, call 489-8686.
With an upscale, casual atmosphere and plenty of steaks and seafood, the Market Street Steakhouse has opened in downtown Bluffton.
It’s at 229 W. Market St. in the former Mother’s Kitchen.
The menu also includes ribs, chicken (charred or smothered), salmon (blackened or grilled), shrimp scampi pasta and a salad bar.
There is a prime rib special Fridays through Sundays, and a fish fry every Friday.
The restaurant will serve beer and wine this summer when its liquor license is approved.
Owner Jim Purvis renovated the space, which now has white tablecloths and work by local artists gracing the walls.
The restaurant is supporting the local economy, manager Scott Herndon says, by buying meat from Heyerly’s Meat Market and produce from the farmers market (when it opens).
Hours are 4 to 10 p.m. Tuesdays through Thursdays, 4 to 11 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sundays. It’s closed Mondays.

Lunch hours likely will be added soon, and a weekend breakfast buffet is under consideration.

You can sample six brews (including Fat Tire Amber Ale, Upland Wheat Ale and Goose Island Summertime) from 6 to 8 p.m. Each will be paired with appetizers.
It’s $10; you must be 21 or older.
Reservations are suggested; call 744-3141.
