6 Best Vegan Restaurants near North Utica

“Arrived around two o’clock on a Monday afternoon. It was a warm and beautiful fall day so we chose to sit outside. It was busier than normal for a Monday, but we weren’t in a hurry anyway. The wait staff worked hard. I ordered the breaded pork tenderloin. My wife ordered the chicken strips. Each entree came with fries. Mine came with lettuce, onion, tomato slice, and pickles. Unfortunately, there were so many french fries that most of the onion, the slice of tomato, and the pickles were all buried, as you can see in the photo. I didn’t even realize they were there until I had eaten some of the fries. The fries were kind of bland, there was no seasoning on them at all. The breaded pork tenderloin was delicious and quite large. The chicken tenders entree was more than enough for my wife, so we brought it home along with half of the breaded pork tenderloin sandwich. Bottom line, I would eat there again, but I only gave it four stars because the french fries covered up the toppings for my sandwich. Attention to detail people!“

“Stopped by the afternoon for coffee and fantastic homemade pumpkin pie and Basque cheesecake. Glad we made the stop, will definitely come again!“

“Went for early dinner tonight I had raw oysters for an appetizer! They were so fresh and tasted delicious. My boyfriend had the tortellini’s, my son had kid’s quesadillas, and I had 1/2 seafood chowder soup 1/2 salad. Everything tasted delicious. Our waitress I didn’t catch her name but she was awesome! We will definitely be back!“

“This is the best juice I’ve ever had. The açaí bowl and nachos are to die for!!! I’m always so excited to try the new items on the menu. I’ve never had anything bad. It’s refreshing to have a healthy restaurant in such a small town. Try the blue spirulina lemonade, you won’t regret it. Updated from previous review on 2025-04-15“

“Olive Garden is a go-to restaurant for a nice date night with so many options to choose from. My personal favorites are the breadsticks, chicken gnocchi soup, tour of Italy, chicken Alfredo, cheese tortellini, and chicken Parmesan. They carry a variety of wine and mixed drinks as well.
