Good spot. Very reliable though the food and service can be hit or miss.

We chose to explore ABCv due to our affinity for vegetable-forward eateries. Opting for the tasting menu, we found the flavors and presentation delightful, enjoying the diverse global influences. While the staff was amiable, the experience was marred by either prolonged waits for dishes or being hurried with multiple courses at once. The cuisine is undoubtedly Michelin-worthy, yet the service fell short. Overall, we would still recommend it.

20 minute wait to receive menus and water on what was supposed to be my birthday dinner. Deleted the reservation from Resy so I can’t leave feedback.

My first time at this well known Vegetarian restaurant. Food was great. I ordered a $150 bottle of wine. Checked online the next day- retail price $32/bottle. Thats almost a 500% markup! I go out all the time in NYC and realize that the restaurants need to make a nice profit on wine- the norm is 3x the retail price. At 5 times the price, I feel ripped off. Very unfortunate.Vegetarian options: Great food!

We had booked the abcV to celebrate my birthday. When we arrived, we were seated in the back of the restaurant. Because we were so far back, it took the annoyed waiter a good 20 min to take our orders. And only after I requested it. Totally unacceptable.The wine we choose was good.Unfortunately, that cannot be said for the food. We did have the cornmeal crusted mushrooms with two dips for $25. The dish lacked finess and taste. The dips were just overpowered by lemon/lime and jalapeño flavors. Another dish was white asparagus. Two pieces for $31. And those were covered with a sauce that totally dominated the very subtle taste of the asparagus. Total waste of money. The best dish of the evening was the whole roasted cauliflower for $32. The sauce and additional ingredients played nicely to the taste of it but the taste still did not justify the price. IMHO this place is overpriced and overrated. There are other vegan /vegetarian options in New York that offer better value for money.

Regrettably, I found ABCV lacking in both creativity and value for money. As a vegetarian/vegan restaurant, I had hoped for more imaginative offerings at the price point. I believe other establishments like Dirt Candy and Avant Garden provide better culinary experiences for comparable prices. $31 for two pieces of white asparagus are way too much!

Pricey but that’s NYC. Plant-based eating made beautiful, in a dining area with Scandinavian flare. Gorgeous meal and special thanks for the surprise anniversary plate.

Absolutely loved it. The food was insane, and the staff were really nice. We walked in at Saturday 8:15p and managed to snag three bar seats next to each other thought it was quite busy.-starters: dates (my absolutely favorite) and lettuce cups (pretty good)-mains: the bolegnese and wood fired shiitake were my favorites, the spaghetti was OK (others might enjoy it more, it just didn’t have enough flavor for me and I was wowed by the other two)-drinks: all good- the pear elixir was our fave, ginger tonic was light and refreshing-desserts: all amazing, especially the yuzu and rhubarb. And the staff were sweet enough to bring me an extra dessert with a candle!Price: I thought it matched the atmosphere and quality of food, to be honest. No complaints.

Accompanied my vegan spouse. She loved it. I thought the food tasted…. “healthy”, not bad. In fact, it’ll be my first choice when dining with the growing group of herbivores closing in on me. Atmosphere is quintessential NY. You know what? I like this place- there, I said it. And to my carnivore friends, “I think you will too”. Enjoy. Let me know how it went.

Decent food.The dosa is like an average dosa but I came with indian standards for a dosa which doesn’t seem fair to them.Quantity seemed less.The mushroom burger was my favorite.

The meal was fantastic- would recommend the cauliflower and lettuce cups. Our server Adam was super helpful and so kind! One of our dishes was taking longer than expected so he brought us out some treats. All around great food and great service would highly recommend.Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free
