My wife (vegetarian who rarely eats select types of fish) and I (meat eater) visited Avant Garden last Thursday for dinner. It was an excellent experience. Service is great, the cocktails were delicious and the food was outstanding. We read the quote: “Excellent food that just happens to be vegan” and can confirm that this is the quintessential description for this restaurant. Everything tasted great, savory, balanced, and delicious. We especially loved the avocado and the cauliflower, but the risotto was delicious, and the dessert was to die for. Definitely recommended for everyone who loves great food (independent if you eat meat or not).

This place is nothing short of perfect. I came here twice for dinner during my week long trip to NYC, it was this good. Every dish was crafted to perfection, with a unique combination of flavors and textures, all working seamlessly together. I highly recommend the paella and hen of the woods, both spectacular! The food presentation was outstanding too. But my highest praise goes to the staff, extremely kind and generous. I can’t wait to be back again!

One of the best vegan restaurants in NYC! The food here is on another level! Every plate is so unique and presented perfectly beautifully! Everything tasted delicious! Incredible combinations! We even had a chance to meet and talk to the chef himself! Juan it’s really talented and interesting person to talk to, he made us feel like home! 10/10 experience and food! We will definitely comeback next time we’re in NYC. That would be our permanent dinner place from now on!

One of the very best meals I’ve had. We ordered the avocado, artichoke toast, hen of the woods dish, and paella, with the beet cocktails. Everything was amazing – both delicious and creatively prepared. Next time we’re eager to try the carrot, pasta, lava cake, and more. The service was excellent and the decor and ambiance was beautiful. Great for groups, a date, or even a nice solo eve out, as there is very nice bar seating in addition to tables. Highly recommend!

Came here for my wife’s birthday, one thing I thought was nice was they had a birthday card on table for her. Food was Great! Love the Flavors! Staff was very attentive. They poured our wine and water never once had to worry about a refill. Food came in a timely manner, one dish after the other. Also as each dish was placed on the table they explained what was in each dish. Small cozy place but not too small I counted 32 indoor seats. They also have outside dinning. I was impressed with the food ,service, and diversity of staff. Will definitely be back they are on my list of my Top vegan spots! Can’t wait to see the new location.

I went there with my vegan friend (I’m not), and we thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. The interior is dark and very cozy, the service was great, and we took all the recommendations from our server. Everything was delicious, filling, and beautiful. Can see it as a great date spot.

Not a vegan. The food here was a treat. We ordered too much to be honest (2 plates per person was recommended and we would have been full at 6 between 8. Highlights were the sunchoke toast, the Brussels sprouts, and the scorched cauliflower (has a kick – which I found delightful but too much for some of my dining companions). The wines are very reasonably priced for the quality. Service was incredibly warm and knowledgeable. Definitely not just for vegans, a great spot for anyone who wants healthy, hearty, tasty eats in a nice atmosphere.

It’s my first time trying a vegan restaurant. It’s not bad. The toast was crispy but too hard for me. The homemade spaghetti was kind of flavorless . Paella was my favorite.

This place is an absolute gem. When we were walking up to the restaurant, we realized it was a hole in the wall. The door and entryway was hidden but once inside, it was like a little getaway. It was mysterious and magical. There were tree branches and fairy lights. It almost felt like we were going into a magical forest. Once we got inside, the ambience was soothing and intimate. The chaos of NYC was hidden away from this charming restaurant. The waiters are absolutely amazing and pay attention to detail. The food was impeccable and delicious. The presentation of the food was exactly how I imagined— creative, on theme, and beautiful. We got the Sunchoke toast, soarched cauliflower, and cremini mushroom spaghetti. All delicious and without flaw. Beautifully executed in its delivery and flavor. We left feeling full and happy. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant. Excellent job.

I would come back again as the food is innovative and delicious, especially the avocado and broccoli. However, the Lava cake was quite ordinary (even somewhat disappointing) with overly sweet chocolate sauce and the cake that was too dry and plain. This item will not be something that I would order again.
