I loved the food. Vegetables CAN make a posh dish. There was a multilayered depth to each dish and I only wish the portions were bigger. But that's just my inner glutton speaking. Unfortunately I booked the table too late - we were going to a show later so we only had 1.5 hrs to enjoy ourselves and I regret... More

I am always looking for great restaurants with vegetarian options for my partner - and Candle 79 did not disappoint! The service was great, the atmosphere was intimate and lovely and the food was fantastic. I didn't miss the meat in my dishes! I would highly recommend this restaurants for vegans, vegetarians and meat-eaters! More

Candle 79 is a testimonial to the fact that a truly outstanding and sumptuous meal can be had without meat. This vegan restaurant ranks among the very best restaurants, never mind that they don't cook with any animal products. I dined with a group of friends and dinner went on for three wonderful hours.

We stumbled upon Candle 79 on the web. So glad we did. Service is congenial and genuine - overall ambiance is lovely. Food - presentation, texture, taste - was fabulous. Arguably our best meal in NY this tip. Highly recommended. More

We just walked in here for lunch after the Metropolitan. Great range of food and beer too! Vegan is normally to radical (bland) for us, but here they have made the effort to make their dishes tasty. If you are in this part of town then come here More

Finally! I have found a vegetarian restaurant that understands there is more to vegetarian cuisine than carrots and potatoes! Even if you aren't a vegetarian you will enjoy eating here. Everything was so creative and unique. It not only tasted delicious, but the presentation was exceptional too. The service was quick and friendly and the atmosphere was fun. Good for... More
