    Tofu
    Alexa K.

    This space is amazing! Had a team lunch, and although I had to take my meal to go, the time we spent at the restaurant was fantastic! Super cool concept, open kitchen, and fantastic staff. The tofu is ok, but nothing too special. Might be better for dine in than take out, so I might have to come back :)

    Yam
    Kami L.

    Went here for an early dinner - food was pricy but good. The dishes were innovative and had interesting flavors. We especially liked the yam and squash with focaccia. They were severely understaffed when I was there, to the point that multiple people around us cancelled their dishes and opted to leave earlier. However, the manager came over to our table took our order and made sure we were taken care of in a timely manner. She was extremely kind and I greatly appreciated how she stepped in when they did not have a lot of servers. In large part because of their great staff, and also because of the interesting vegetarian options, I would go back.

    Food was a little overpriced for the quantity and taste but the quality was good. The corn wontons were spicy and yummy. The hummus was fresh and yummy. The pasta was cooked perfectly but the walnut and mushroom sauce was fine. The chocolate cake was too sweet and not worth it. Vibe was beautiful service was overall good.

    Would come back for the cauliflower only- the best one I've ever had. The pasta is good

    avocado lettuce cups
    Camsie M.

    Delicious food. Great and friendly service. Super cool and swanky vibe. I left stuffed and happy and would come back to try more! Standouts for me were the dates and the whole roasted cauliflower.

    Mushroom Walnut Bolognese
    Julia M.

    My friend and I had a res on a busy weekend night. Cute spot, really kind servers. The food was OK, honestly not all of it was worth the price in my opinion. We started with the dosa and lettuce cups. They were both OK, nothing to write home about, and the lettuce cups had a really interesting kick. The bolognese was a standout - delicious! And then came dessert. Things went very right and very wrong. The ice cream sundae was delicious and unique - a generous portion that we could've shared. But the apple tart unfortunately did not live up to the same standard. It tasted of salt and water, with no real sweetness despite how delicious it looked (my friend and I both tried it and were unsure if this was how it was supposed to taste or if someone had swapped sugar for salt).

    Lovely space, everything can be veganized, and I love how the menu changes with the season. The carrot wontons and chestnut dessert were unreal! The service was also super, Adam was a great server and multiple employees checked in on our table throughout the night

    Creamy Baked Artichoke
    Vishnu G.

    My meal was absolutely delicious, and I really enjoyed the creative vegetarian and vegan options. Artichoke - creamy as the name says, with breadcrumbs to provide a little crunch, and subtle tartness from lemon and freshness from the herbs. The sourdough it's served with has great developed flavor and nice open crumb. The server told me this is seasonal, so get it before it's gone. Steamed tofu - the tofu is just a bit firmer than a pudding, covered with a tart and savory tomato-ey broth. Mushrooms add a bit of textural variety and savoriness. The best parts are the crispy yuba and toasty fried peanuts, which add a crunch and nutty flavor. The cilantro helps brighten everything up as well. Mont Blanc - rich, fluffy, and nutty, without being too sweet. The whole thing kind of explodes after breaking into it because of the hard shell, but that's not a big deal. Easy to forget it's totally vegan. Three courses came out to $94 with tax and tip. While the cost was worth it, I think this would've worked out better coming with a larger group. Splitting four dishes between two people would've reduced the cost a bit and hit the right portion size.

    Chutneys for dosa
    Ash B.

    Went back for their brunch and had the dosa with sambal, egg, cheddar cheese, mint, and dill. The dosa was tasty and the texture was good. It was very filling as well. However, it did lack flavor -- it should have been paired with chutney like dosa usually is or had more sambal / Asian spices and flavor. The honey ginger tonic was light and refreshing.

    Heard good things about them and came for their vegetarian brunch with my vegan friend. The food was pretty good, especially for american vegetarian fare - nothing was mindblowing to me as someone who eats across the spectrum, but you could tell there were quality ingredients being used and care being taken into the dishes they offered. The cappuccino was just okay (admittedly, as a coffee snob) The pancakes were fluffy, but delicate, and fall apart easily but they tasted light and bright which was enjoyable. The lettuce cups were also tasty, and quite light. Definitely add this to your list if you're a vegetarian, and I hear they have a good dinner service too. For me, it's a place I would take my vegetarian friends. Keep up the good work!

    Pistachio ice cream

    Never disappoints. Delicious birthday dinner at the bar. Incredible meal (lettuce wraps and wontons). Paired with a good Pinot noir. Awesome service -- as always.

    Beet tartare
    Anne B.

    abcV has a lovely atmosphere and on a Friday night it wasn't packed, you could likely get seated without a reservation. I tried the sparkling elixir beverage and it wasn't the strongest start. I'd prefer it a bit more sweet and with stronger elements of the fruit flavors. Like many others have mentioned, the price point is pretty steep for what you're getting. They're all small plates in the $20-$35 range with really just a few bites of vegetables. We tried the "crispy smoked chicken of the woods mushroom" which was essentially fried mushroom -- definitely the most "meaty" dish we had that evening. It was well fried with a seasoned crispy exterior, the sauces accompanying it were just fine. The market beets had some of my favorite flavors, they were refreshing and felt like a variety with each bite with the avocado puree and elements of tartare. The dosa was fine but would be superior at most Indian restaurants, it was just a plain dosa with chutneys on the side - no masala filling. The seared tofu was made with a very soft silken tofu and served with roasted mushroom and broccolini. The vegetables felt a bit dry but the tofu was nice. The roasted murasaki yam was delicious, it had savory elements of black and white sesame and was brightened by a squeeze of lime juice. It was a Japanese yam so it was dense, starchy, and slightly sweet; the dish could have maybe benefitted from some more variety in textures. Overall, abcV is one of the nicer vegan restaurants in Manhattan, maybe worth splurging occasionally when the menu rotates. I probably won't be back for a while as it's hard to justify the price point of the dishes, but there really were no bad bites.

    i think this was seasonal
    Aanand S.

    Came here with high expectations. Don't go to many places at all that are purely plant based. Impressed for what we got in general. It was an assortment of many dishes. Flavors were good but not jumping out at me with full vibrancy. Staff and everyone was nice, as was the service. It was a bit chilly in the city so being inside the restaurant was a nice and cozy break. I don't think I'll go here again just because I'm not too much into plant based dining as this place presents itself and actually is. I feel like I could go elsewhere around the city and get very good dishes that are plant based without going to a strictly plant based restaurant. It was a good change from the types of places that I normally frequent. Company I was with was excellent which made the food that much more comforting.

    The food is interesting and tasty, and the service is excellent. My only complaint is that the portions are quite small for the price.

    Ask the Community - abcV

    Is the patio heated?

    Yes! Both the outdoor patio and pergola are heated.

    Is there a separate menu for allium-free?

    There is not. Most foods are very richly seasoned, but the waiters are usually very knowledgeable about the ingredients and I'm sure they can ask for you in regards to specific dishes.

    Are gift cards available? I want to gift a friend a yummy veg-friendly meal!

    yes! they are available

    Is there a dress code for dinner?

    Thank you very much for the question, We do not have a dress code at AbcV. Please dress as you… 

    Can the dinner menu items be prepared onion and garlic free?

    Yes

    Do they have a menu that shows what is vegan or can be made vegan? The online menu I see on the website just says "vegan options available".

    The menu is all vegetarian, not all vegan. I'd say a good 80% of the menu is vegan already and many items can be made vegan.

    Does the restaurant take brunch reservations?

    Yes they do!

    Is there a place for a stroller?

    Yes. The hostess takes your stroller to the back. (Like a coat check). Once I had a folding stroller. Another time I had a large (bugaboo) and they took them and returned once we left.

    Is your menu heart healthy or low sodium?

    Very healthy menu. Ask waitstaff for lower sodium options. Also on the table they have a Minerals (sea salt). Healthier than processed salt.

    Does this place offer takeout?

    Yes! Head to the back, or ask the staff in the front, who are seating diners where to order takeout. A nice option, since it's hard to get reservations here.

    Any dress code we should be aware of (for lunch service)? Specifically can I get away with wearing shorts?…

    No dress code. Shorts are just fine.

    I've been to Sentir twice, and it's been one of the best nyc restaurants I've been to in a long…read moretime. It just has that something-special quality- there's a good premise (veg/vegan mexican food makes so much sense), nice ambience, extremely yummy drinks, and a solid vibe. The first time I got a reservation with a friend; the second time I walked in and sat solo at the bar. Both times I had very friendly, helpful service. I've tried tacos (with vegan chorizo, don't see it on the menu at the moment), a quesadilla, and if I remember right, the fried mushrooms. They were all great - the tacos were amazing. And both times I/we got the churros, which are FIRE - I'm not even a dessert person but I highly highly recommend getting them if you like churros / cinnamon / chocolate at all. This is a lovely spot for a date, friends' hangout, parents in town, but maybe a little small to expect a big group to fit nicely. It was loud but not too loud. Expensive for sure but it feels really nice, not just a regular overpiced spot. And I'm not a vegetarian (neither is my friend), so take that into account.

    My husband and I had such an incredible experience at Sentir that we ended up going back the very…read morenext day... and honestly, I'd do it again tomorrow if we didn't have to head back to NJ! Sentir is 100% vegan, and I would confidently bring even my carnivore friends here without hesitation. If nobody told you it was vegan, you'd simply think you were eating some of the most creative, flavorful Mexican food you've ever had. It's that good. From the moment you walk through the doors, you can tell this isn't just another restaurant. The atmosphere is warm, stylish, and inviting without feeling pretentious. Every member of the staff was incredibly kind (thanks Camila who served us both days!), knowledgeable, and genuinely excited to talk about the menu and the other restaurants in the group. Their passion for what they do shines through in every interaction. The food completely exceeded every expectation we had. Every dish was beautifully presented, packed with bold flavors, and unlike anything we've had before. We found ourselves talking about every bite and immediately discussing what we'd come back to try... which ended up being less than 24 hours later. We were so excited by the food on our first visit that we completely forgot to take pictures! (It became a complete afterthought because we had already scarfed everything down. ) Thankfully, we redeemed ourselves on day two! The cocktails also deserve their own standing ovation. They're creative, beautifully crafted, and every bit as memorable as the food. If you're looking for a restaurant where every detail has clearly been thoughtfully considered from the atmosphere and service to the food and drinks, Sentir absolutely delivers. We travel to NYC often and almost never eat at the same restaurant twice because there are so many amazing places to try. The fact that we chose to come back the very next day says everything you need to know. Sentir has officially earned a permanent spot on our "must visit" list every time we're in that part of the city. What We Ate (and absolutely LOVED): Sentir Guac - Easily one of the freshest and most flavorful guacamoles we've ever had. It was served with chips and a deep fried tofu that was reminiscent of a "chicken skin" or something along those lines. I've never tried anything like it and it was good and unique! Carne Asada Tacos - Perfectly seasoned with amazing texture and incredible flavor. Al Pastor Chicken Tacos - Sweet, savory, smoky, and absolutely delicious. Cream of Corn - I wasn't expecting a bowl of corn to stand out the way it did. It was warm, comforting and cheesy. I just wish it came with something to dip with. Unfortunately too much was dripping through the fork and I wanted to savor it all! Chile Rellenos - Beautifully prepared with layers of flavor in every bite. It was cooked to perfection and melted in your mouth! Tamal de Carne - Tender, comforting, and packed with incredible flavor. What We Drank: Sentir Michelada - One of the best my husband ever had. The chose Modelo as the beer Little Pitcher - This was a bunch drink. It had grapefruit & orange juice (among other things) but it was shockingly unique and dangerously easy to drink. Café con Ron - The perfect twist or play on an espresso martini but a million times better! Nutty Olivia - I believe this was on "special" and it was a mooth, creative, and another cocktail I'd order again in a heartbeat. It contains gin, which my husband doesn't like but he must have stolen at least 3 sips before I told him to worry about his own drink! Final thought: If a restaurant is good enough to make us skip trying somewhere new in New York City and instead return the very next day, that's about the highest compliment we can give. Whether you're vegan, vegetarian, or a lifelong meat eater, do yourself a favor go!!! I have a feeling you'll be planning your second visit before you even finish your first.

This sandwich is usually not something that is available vegetarian so i was curious to see the flavors and textures. The steak is chewy and meaty so if you are not a fan of faux meat then i would proceed with caution. I enjoy the cheeses here as they are unique and different from each other. The sandwich overall was okay though not my favorite sandwich ever. - smoked Mac and cheese (7/10): macaroni with smoked goat cheese, cheddar, mozzarella baked in a cast iron skillet and topped with vegan pancetta and breadcrumbs. This was a cozy appetizer especially on a cold day. The flavors of the cheese are rich and smoky with a hint of saltiness from the pancetta and breadcrumbs. I would have liked it to be a larger portion and offered as an entree. WOULD I GO BACK? Maybe. I liked the ambiance and the option to try dishes that are usually meat heavy but the cuisine is not my personal favorite.
