We went there for NYE and it was not at all what we expected. The food was average and the service was poor. We did not get the wine before the food. As soon as we took the last bite the next course was served - not what you want for a gourmet experience - especially not NYE. We had to wave to get the waiters attentions because they were busy talking to each other. And the bill - way too expensive!! You can get so much better vegan food on Manhattan for the 3rd of the price here. It was not the way we wanted to end 2016 :(
We went for New's Year Celebration and we had a great experience with their pre fixed menu. Everything was perfect! Perhaps the best vegan place in the City for celebrations.
Enjoyed every dish we ordered. The BBQ Seitan skewers were grilled to perfection and came with a side of fresh but well seasoned orange and fennel salad. We also had the spaghetti with Wheat balls. The pasta had a tasty tomato garlic sauce and the wheat balls were well cooked as well, crispy on the outside , moist on the inside. The waiter was a delight to chat with and couldn't ask for a better setting.
Absolutely delicious food and fantastic service in a beautiful setting. Looking froward to dining again soon and want to try their other locations!
So happy this place exists, especially so close to the MET. The food is spectacular and unique and an experience that every vegan in the NY area needs to try. It may be a little pricey, but I think it's worth it for the food and the wonderful service!
Awesome, highly recommend the Seitan Piccata, tastes like chicken with mashed yuka.
Another delicious meal enjoyed tonight by myself and my daughter.
Fabulous food and fabulous service. It's our first choice every time we are in NYC.
Absolutely loved our experience....we will be back! Delicious way to spend a Birthday lunch! � Before I even ordered or ate...I was messaging people about the place. Reading the menu made me drool...� Was not disappointed. Great smoothies & desserts! �
