Capsule review: With its '60s commune feeling, this place is a JP institution for good reason. The Sunday brunches, particularly, are worth the long wait. Soon after you snag a seat, the plates arrive, piled high with egg dishes that have a Tex-Mex touch. At dinner, dishes such as potato and mushroom stew, a Bombay curry stir-fry, and vegetables in a peanut sauce satisfy the meatless quest. Plenty for carnivores, too.
