    My favorite vegan restaurant in town and we have quite a feet of them here! Polenta fries is solid and my favorite main dish is piccata. They also have a good number of gluten free items on the menu

    Delicious food. We ordered the guacamole/black bean appetizer with plantain chips. Then 3 entrees: Moroccan spiced chickpea cake, wild mushroom crepe, and herb-grilled cauliflower. Awesome!

    Tasty and inventive vegan food and cocktails. Nice cozy atmosphere. But the dessert was the real star. Lemon cake with a fluffy coconut cream. It was one of the best desserts I've had in the city.

    What a hidden gem! I want to come back to try all the other vegan options at this restaurant! We got the seitan + ginger dumplings and the za'atar roasted cauliflower.

    Great for vegans and vegetarians. Impressive bar program and cocktail menu. Sit at the bar or request downstairs. Upstairs can be tight for parties of 2. Food is on-point. Try the spinach ravioli.

    I'm an omnivore that hates waiting in line for brunch. Had a lovely time: great service, solid cocktails, and highly recommend the wild mushroom crepe which was full of flavor and texture!

    The stuffed avocado is my go to with a side of polenta fries for the table. Everything else I have tried has been good. The Antioxidant Potion and Strawberry-Rhubarb Lemonade are my favorites juices.

    Always head here when in the city, one of the best. Tried brunch for the first time, get the prix fixe it's a steal.

    An elegant and intimate Upper West Side restaurant with an extensive gluten-free menu including appetizers, entrees and desserts! We love the cannoli and chocolate chip ice cream!

    Tempeh Vegetable Tamale combines greatness into one. The chocolate mole sauce gives a spicy yet silky effect and is balanced by the crunchy pumpkin seeds, fresh guacamole, and watermelon salsa.

    You can't go wrong w/ANYTHING on the menu. A party of 7...1 vegetarian. everybody was impressed & loved the food. If all vegetarian food is like this, this meat lover could easily convert.

    Nothing beats their tasting menu, which has included vegan nachos, house-made ravioli, Asian dumplings, Seitan Chimichurri, Seitan Piccata, grilled potato cakes, and, the grande finale, vegan cannoli.

    Wonderful, organic, vegan meals to satisfy your appetite. If you just need something to quench your thirst, stop in for a fresh juice or a house made gingerale before doing a little window-shopping.

    The food is delicious. Definitely a nicer place that you should be prepared to spend a bit more at, BUT WELL WORTH IT! :) Perfect for special occasions.

    Awesome vegetarian and vegan options. Don't miss the nachos for an appetizer. They were better vegan but better than many meat nachos I've had.

    Who says that there's no fine dining for vegetarian/vegan food? Candle 79 has a sumptuous menu. Try the housemade ginger ale. Not raw but want to dabble? Try the live zucchini enchiladas, omg.

    Probably the best upscale vegan restaurant I've been to. Try the BBQ burger with polenta fries or the Spaghetti and wheatballs.

    Hungry? You’re just steps from New York City’s vegan fine-dining landmark, Candle 79, and the more casual Candle Café, which makes a mean tempeh BLT. -- Melisse Gelula, Well + Good

    I usually get a special because I want to keep coming back to this place again and again and know I could get the regular menu any time. Today's avocado corn soup was AMAZING.

    One of my absolute fave vegan places in the city. Never had a less than fabulous meal here. Excellent wines, too. Well worth every penny (I don't think it's that expensive). I so wish they deliver

    Very welcoming environment when you walk in. However, our waiter wasn't on his A game with us. No introduction to specials, which he told his other tables about.

    Excellent food. You would be hard pressed to know it's vegan. Wines are organic - good not great.
