This is a MUST visit restaurant for us when we're are in NYC. The food is AH-mazing. Plant-based, vegan. So much flavor. Textures are incredible. It is such a low key, intimate environment. Staff is friendly. Drinks are incredible - especially the spicy lemonade.

The atmosphere was great, the food was really good. The only reason I give this place 4 instead of 5 stars is that I felt like the main protein of the dish did not live up to the rest of it. I got the seitan tacos, and everything on the taco was perfect but the seitan was both hard and chewy. I loved that I could comfortably order anything and everything from this place and they were very kind and patient. I think I would come back again at a busier time, and perhaps the food will be better.

Absolutely yummy vegan options. My friend and I shared 4 mushroom tacos (the order contains 3, but one may order an additional taco of the same ilk) and nachos. This order was so filling! The flavors were perfectly blended and the nachos, crispy. Nice atmosphere, too!

I'll keep this simple. The food here is great, and the atmosphere is great too. I just have one big complaint: they don't honor reservations.

I made a reservation here a month in advance for Valentine's day. The day before I confirm via text message that we will definitely be there. We arrive at 6:20pm for a 6:30pm reservation, only to find that they didn't honor our reservation. They offered us a seat at the bar, or a 45 minute wait, or to come back three hours later.

I unfortunately wasn't the only one. The entry way was packed with folks whose reservations weren't honored. It's clear to me that the management of the restaurant doesn't really care about class, they just want to have the restaurant filled.

So, as much as I love the food here, I would steer clear of making a reservation on a busy holiday, because odds are they won't honor your reservation and they'll leave you out in the cold.
