Nix - New York

I had high expectations for Nix after enjoying the food at Dovetail, but unfortunately, I found the food to be inconsistent. While the service and ambience were great, the cauliflower tempura with steamed buns was terrible - the cauliflower was bland and the buns were dry. The tandoor roasted beet salad was just okay, and the pineapple dessert was disappointing. On the other hand, the Garnett yam massaman curry was absolutely delicious. We also enjoyed a good dip and some papadum chips. Overall, Nix fell short of my high expectations.

Our experience at this restaurant was just okay. The staff was friendly, service was quick, and the food was decent. The atmosphere was pleasant, but our table for three was incredibly small and cramped. One person in our group had to leave in the middle of the meal because she felt claustrophobic, which is unusual for her. We were surprised to be charged $2 per cup of hot water, which seemed odd considering we ordered 8 items off the menu. The restaurant was also uncomfortably warm. As for the food, the tandoor naan was fresh and the red pepper walnut dip was preferred over the eggplant one. The brussel sprout salad was bland and unexciting. The sweet potato dumplings were tasty but the portion size was small for two people. The bamboo rice with poached egg was delicious, and the spicy cauliflower with buns was a standout - the sauce on the cauliflower was tasty and the buns were fresh. The ginger pear cake for dessert was average, but the chocolate pecan dessert was more enjoyable. We were disappointed with the small table size and the lack of reception towards our feedback. Overall, the experience was alright, but we would not recommend it to someone seeking a high-quality Michelin-star dining experience.

I had an incredible waitress who was very attentive, friendly, and made great recommendations. The food was outstanding and I can't wait to come back and try more dishes. I didn't even realize it was a vegetarian restaurant because the food was so good!

Fantastic meal from start to finish! Our waiter Dave was charming and on point as were all of the staff. Our food and cocktails were all interesting and delicious. The room has great energy. I didn’t take photos of all the dishes we ordered because I dug in to the others without pausing! The proof of our 5 stars is we made a reservation for our next meal there before we left.

The most incredible vegan brunch, the best tofu scramble I’ve ever eaten actually had to check with the waitress we hadn’t accidentally been given scrambled egg. The pancake was also amazing. One of the vegan highlights of our trip.
