I really wanted to like this restaurant more, but I left feeling kind of disappointed in my experience. Anytime I go to a city like NYC, I get excited about the abundance of vegan and vegetarian options. I had heard such good things about this place and decided to give it a shot. My sister and I had a reservation for 2 but last minute, a friend was joining us, so we had to cancel it. Unfortunately, on a Saturday night at 7 pm, they said the wait to dine inside would be quite long and the only seating they had was outside. After turning the heater on, which honestly did not help in the near freezing weather, and sitting in front of a view of trash bags on the street, we asked if we could wait for a table inside. After telling us no twice and us considering leaving to find somewhere else to eat, they eventually said that we could wait and they would have a table ready in 30 minutes. The wait ended up being closer to an hour and 15 min and every group was seated before us. The restaurant seems to be designed for pairs, which was why it must have been so difficult to get a table. We were seated at one corner of a table of 6 and a different couple was seated next to us. We honestly did not mind sharing our space at all! Due to the long wait, they brought us a complimentary honeynut squash with pita as an appetizer. It was a pleasant surprise! The squash was a good mix of sweet and savory and the mint made it taste really fresh. The pita portions were very small though. To start off, we got the crisp radicchio salad. I really loved the mesh of textures and flavors. The spiced avocado paired well with the fresh fruit, but the dressing was heavy on the garlic and ended up overtaking the entire salad. For entrees, we got the spinach spaghetti and the custardy tofu. The spinach spaghetti was bland, but the lemon upped the flavor as did the umami/tang from the gran kinara cheese. The custardy tofu was a very unique dish for me. It melted in your mouth. The broth was a little more sour than I was expecting, but it paired well with the coconut rice as suggested by the waiter. We were also given a scoop of delicious sorbet with a candle even though it was none of our birthdays! Overall, the service during the meal was good, the ambiance was nice, and the food is interesting/unique, but I don't think the experience was really memorable. Rate 3 stars for food and prices but add a star for the 2 complimentary dishes.
