As others have mentioned, for upscale vegan/vegetarian places there aren't many choices in NY, but this is a good one. Our food was quite good - even my skeptical carnivorous parents enjoyed their meals a good deal. However, one unfortunate factor almost tainted our dinner - the music was loud and terrible - completely out of sync with the ambiance of a fine restaurant. We made reservations and requested a quiet table (for my hard of hearing parents) . We were seated at a large table directly under a speaker which was blasting classic rock (Lynrd Skynrd, Boston, Thin Lizzy) so loud that even I couldn't hear the person next to me or be heard without shouting. It was unbearable.
Pros: Excellent Food, Nice waitstaff
Cons: Rude manager (or host). Loud, inappropriate dinner music
