Amazing experience! - Edit
Came for a birthday dinner, and almost everything was vegan, and everything was delicious! Servers were friendly, and the inside was very pleasant. I especially liked the open kitchen!

Incredible space, save room for dessert - Edit
We were in from out of town and loved this restaurant. Beautiful space, friendly and prompt staff. The menu isn't totally vegan but mostly vegan and staff is knowledgeable about what is and isn't and how to modify. Perfect special occasion, date night experience. Love it!

Small, expensive portions - Edit
Not everything is vegan. The portions are TINY. I think it’s supposed to be a tapas place, but is poorly advertised as such and the wait staff isn’t helpful in explaining it. It’s a neat experience to go, since the aesthetic is so unique and it’s attached to a gloriously expensive furniture store, but it was just too expensive for what we got. It was still good, and some dishes were better than others, such as the dosa, but I would rather go to a nice dinner at Avant Garden, whose food is divine than to come here. It’s definitely an experience, and would be fun as a tourist, but you can get a better deal elsewhere

Creative variety of dishes, all delicious! - Edit
How wonderful to have the opportunity to dine here our last visit to NY. We were invited here for a social/business dinner, and the restaurant was selected by someone in our party who is herself a pro NYC chef. By the end of dinner she said "Wow, if I could eat like this, it would be easy to go vegan," and is now seriously considering making the full transition.

Treat yourself - Edit
It’s definitely pricey! Spent $100 on myself - eek! But it was a nice treat, one of my favorite meals - I thoroughly enjoyed every bite. You have to get the Avocado Wraps; they are THE best ever! The Spinach Spaghetti for my main dish was spectacular - I am still thinking about all the flavors in that - SO good. And lastly, for dessert I treated myself to the chocolate mousse and ate the entire plate myself!! The nuts with the mousse - I couldn’t help myself. The hostess wouldn’t seat me, because they were full for reservations, but I got there right at open and when I left after my meal, 1/3 of the restaurant was still unseated so that bothered me. Maybe people didn’t show up though I guess, idk. The bar was not comfortable to sit at; the stools don’t have high backs and the counter doesn’t extend out far enough so the taller you are, the further away from the bar you are in order to accommodate your knees (you can’t scoot in closer without your knees hitting).

Difficult to book for no good reason - Edit
Good food. Most dishes are tasty and creative, although they could offer new things or specials, as it’s always the same. The place is pleasant and nicely appointed. The waitstaff is friendly and efficient. The crowd is more or less not too noisy. The greeting staff is icy and not terribly welcoming. Making a reservation is a nightmare. They tell you it is booked, when in fact it’s not. It depends on who you get to talk to.

Crisp Cali vibe, delicious vegan croissants - Edit
Ventured to abcV this morning because I heard they serve vegan croissants, something seriously lacking in this city. They definitely did not disappoint (though I wish they had take away on weekends). We sat at the bar and tried the vegan pastry basket, which include two bite-sized muffins and a small chocolate and regular croissant. Everything was delicious and service was very prompt and friendly. The restaurant is very bright and airy with a west coast vibe. It is a bit on the pricey side, but everything I tried was delicious.

a lunchtime adventure! - Edit
A friend recommended this place and wow was I impressed! First off, there are tons of drink options, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Then ordering the plates is a challenge because it all sounds so good. We ordered 2 plates each and found it to be a very good size meal. Everything we had was high on the taste experience scale. These are truly innovative creations. If you like to experiment you will not be disappointed. This is now my fave place for lunch in Manhattan.

Great atmosphere and service, excellent cocktails and dessert - Edit
We sat at the bar, which was good in that we could ask the server working there about the food. My husband had a lemon cocktail (can’t remember the name) that was great. We liked but did not love our main meal. We shared the avocado in lettuce, the barley soup, fried rice and vegetables - my taste does not run to bitter/fermented and my husband does not like chile peppers. So we have trouble with newer cuisine I guess. The dosa with cashew butter, avocado and greens was very good and the dessert- carmelized banana with pomegranate and chocolate was excellent. It seems that everything vegetarian can be made vegan. The staff was very busy but friendly and helpful.

Plant-based deliciousness in NYC! - Edit
Knowing the beauty and deliciousness that is Jean-Georges Vongerichten, I was thrilled to learn of his new vegetarian/vegan endeavor in NYC. He and Paulette Cole are co-creators if this lovely spot nestled right net door to abc Cocona. They treat all ingredients with the utmost respect, which shows in their preparation, flavor profiles and presentation. We had dishes that literally blew our minds (try the spinach and mushroom oatmeal for sure!) and we are already craving the dishes we did not have today for our fare next time. This is a must do for any foodie in NYC :)

Over hyped - Edit
Had dinner there with family and I thought it was over hyped and over priced, especially given that the execution was not perfect - I found some of the dishes to be too salty and the price a bit silly, even by NYC standards. One dish stood out for me though, the roasted beetroot. The rest of my meal wasn't memorable and I would not go back.
Read morePros: athmosphere, roasted beetroot dish
Cons: not so memorable food, price
