Loved the food! The best vegan food I've ever had! Service was ok. Ambiance was romantic and really ethereal. The sunchoke toast was delicious. Perfect mix of textures and perfect for sharing. The mushroom toast was great as well. The grapes on top were a cool idea. The risotto was rich but not heavy. The paella was incredible!! Presentation was on point and I love artichokes and olives so this was perfect! The red pepper sauce was also delicious. The rice could've been crispier was my only complaint. The dessert was rich but not heavy. Flavors were interesting as well. Would highly recommend this restaurant for all people non vegan and vegan! They do use lots of nuts in their dishes though if that is a concern.

We were really struggling with finding something yummy for dinner because we had many dietary requirements, but then we saw Avant Garden. It was a bit early, so we were the first people to the restaurant. It was so cozy and cute. The staff were so helpful and friendly. It was suggested we order 5 dishes to share, due to indecision we chose 6. So we had a decent sampling of the menu. While everything was plant based, it was decadent. Each thing we ordered was rich and tasty. By far the best plant based restaurant I've ever eaten at. The staff was also super helpful in ensuring we knew what ingredients were in each dish & accommodated any additional modifications if needed. Would definitely return. Highly recommend.

Simply delicious and superbly crafted You can be an omnivore and will still enjoy the food.

A vegetarian delight with shareable plates. Affordable for Michelin. Paid $200 for 4 people 6 plates & 3 drinks. *Use inKind app for $50 off $150* Must climb one flight of stairs for restaurant. Our server was so kind and professional. Bathroom was clean and restaurant was beautiful with dark lighting. I highly recommend the fig, squash soup, cauliflower and lava cake. All delicious and cannot go wrong with. I also enjoyed my warm non-alcoholic drink. Would definitely recommend for a date night or out with friends!

What a great night my friend and I had when we dined at this amazing restaurant! We chose to sit at the bar and loved our bartender, Lindsay. Drinks were great, the bar and the restaurant are beautiful, and the service was perfect. We loved our butternut squash soup, smoky and delicious. The scorched cauliflower and the hen of the woods were both delicious...... loved the sauce. For dessert, wow, the lava cake was scrumptious. We can't wait to go back!

I've been (mostly) plant-based for almost a decade and Im happy to say: this is THE BEST plant-based restaurant I've been to so far! My regards and compliments to the AG team!! Great ambiance, amazing staff, delicious food, 11/10 experience They make art with vegetables, everything we ordered tasted amazing - beautiful flavors and no attempt to "veganize" dishes which I really appreciated! Absolute must I also came with two meat-eaters who don't normally eat vegan meals, our dinner here ended up being one of their favorite meals, too! P.s. Try the mushroom ice cream

Avant Garden is one of Overthrow Hospitality's concepts that happens to Michelin Star and pretty affordable (well, for a Michelin Star spot). We quite enjoyed our dinner here, despite a few hiccups: example, one of our items never made it to the table until we reminded the staff about 3 times. I started with the Poppy Gibson drink which was absolutely delicious and well-balanced: not too sweet. 2 of us split 5 different dishes: -Tamale: one of my favorites of the evening, as it was so flavorful and that mole sauce was exceptional. -Brussels Sprouts: incredible and the perfect flavor profile with the tangy and sweet sauce. They were also cooked nicely. -Avocado Crispy Rice: loved! -Celery Root Pasta: this dish had so much potential because the sauce was amazing, but the celery root used for the pasta kind of killed it a bit - it was a bit crunchy and regular pasta would've been better here. -Fig Toast: we were not a fan, as the ricotta was a bit too tangy and watery. For dessert, I had the Lava Cake which was fabulous and everything I was looking for. However, it does take 30 mins to bake and I ordered it at the end of our meal. However, our waitress brought my friend her dessert and had forgotten to put in my lava cake....so cue another 20 minute wait (it was worth it, but still). Overall, our meal was solid and I would likely come back.

I wasn't sure how much I'd like a vegan restaurant as an omnivore who skews carnivore but loved my visit to Avant Garden. The vibe was very trendy and the food left me satisfied on all fronts. The entrance is very cool, it looks like are headed into a forest with twigs and branches artfully arranged around the entrance and interior. Inside it is moody and dimly lit. I would get everything again except the tamal which I don't think I would enjoy even as a non-vegan offering: Special - squash soup - outstanding, some how had a smoky bacon flavor Avocado on crispy rice - I could eat another of these right now! Mushroom toast - very tasty, could not get enough of the mushrooms Mushroom risotto - excellent, buttery feel despite no butter Tamal - didn't love Chocolate lava cake with mushroom ice cream - very tasty, and not at all too sweet Overall, good service. Not Michelin star worthy, but we never felt like we were waiting too long for attention. Good value for the price! $200 for two with a cocktail and a mocktail in NYC for 7 food items felt like a decent price. They participate in the inkind app so great way to accrue or spend points too!
