I’m from Jersey and took this short ride last night to NY specifically to try out this place since I’m newly vegan. Booked a reservation and absolutely enjoyed it. The atmosphere was very nice, calm and intimate. I loved having the table right next to the huge windows. And the food was absolutely incredible. I had to keep questioning if it was really vegan LOL the vegan steak fillet , oyster mushroom calamari, and cauliflower buffalo wings were amazing . So on point and juicy with the perfect flavor ! Loved every bite. Definitely coming here again very very soon. Recommending this place to everyone. Staff members were also so nice and polite! 10/10

I wanted to like this place, but despite its good looks on the other side of the glass, the atmosphere felt strangely liminal. I felt as if I were in an airport, or a mall cafeteria, with distant, metallic music playing from god knows where, and brash, blinding lights on one side of the restaurant while the other side remained dark. As far as the food goes, the cheese plate was great but I prefer the one at Delice Sarrasin. The french dip and french fries were perfect. The chicken sandwich was bland, mushy, and lukewarm. The servers were friendly and attentive without imposing. I would be interested in returning if the atmosphere were improved.

This vegan restaurant is the best in New York, hands down! Ian, our waiter, gave us the BEST SERVICE EVER. We had a little baby with us, and Ian played with him so much that our baby couldn’t stop smiling at him. He was very kind and welcoming. The food was 10/10, especially the vegan steak and the cheesecake. The wine, the salad, the vegan chicken… honestly, everything was amazing. The ambiance is classy and clean. My wife and I came here for our second wedding anniversary, and we had a blast! We strongly recommend this place if you’re visiting New York!

Overhyped and overpriced. Came all the way from London to try this restaurant and was very much disappointed to find out three of the options we wanted from the menu were not available. The food tastes processed, the bread is hard and was disappointed to find out that the burger patties were impossible burgers which you could buy from any supermarket. Significantly overhyped and overpriced don’t waste your time

Really nice vegan brunch spot. I've been twice during weekends and haven't had to wait or make a reservation, the service is pretty quick, and the food is delicious. Also the brunch menu has a vegan egg with actual liquid yolk inside, it's such a cool experience!

Excellent service, atmosphere, and food. The lamb burger and fried chicken sandwiches are some of the best vegan sandwiches I have ever had. Thank you willow!
