The Most Elegant Vegetarian Restaurant Around 6/12/2005

There are an growing number of vegetarian restaurants in the city - most are simple, comfortable places that offer good everyday menu options. Candle 79 boldly breaks this mold. The food, ambiance, and service is second to none (for a vegetarian restaurant). Finally we vegetarians can have have our nice place too. Whether it's a special occaision, a romantic date night, or an evening where you just want to try a new caliber of vegetarian food, Candle 79 is the place to go. My favorite dishes are the chimichurri and the seitan picatta - but really you can't go wrong with any selection. If reading the menu on-line doesn't make your mouth water, I don't know what will. Pros: outstanding food, beautiful ambiance, personal service Cons: only one location, average desserts more

If only I could do this with vegetables... 6/12/2005

...then I wouldn't have to come here to get a fabulous meal and feel as good after the meal as I do during. Vegetarian/vegan cuisine is only as good as the staff's love and commitment to it and I have been to no other such restaurant in New York where this is greater. 5 thumbs up from our family! more

AWESOME 6/12/2005

some of the most delicious food i've ever had in a place that feels great. if you're not granola crunchy, don't worry, they serve wine and excellent meals that just happen to be healthy. you always feel great after a dinner or lunch at candle 79. great mother/baby lunches every few weeks too. the original candle cafe on 3rd is great too, just more casual. Pros: food, vibe more

Vegetarian food for non-vegetarians! 6/11/2005

This is absolutely the best place to take your non-vegetarian friends who squirm at the idea of a meal without meat. The Seitan Piccata in particular, is better than veal. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and always make excellent recommendations. Run, don't walk. more

Great Food, Great Atmosphere 3/25/2004

This place is great from the delicious food to the friendly staff. (Especially Brian the waiter, request his section.) Candle 79 is definitely on my list of favorites! more

Yum, yum, good! 2/29/2004

This place is delightful! The service was fantastic, there were so many specials to choose from, and it was a very nice atmosphere. The food was great... the only thing we weren't thrilled with was the ""live"" dessert, but that's just because we like the real thing. We're only in town for 10 days, but we'll make sure to go back again before we leave. more
