LIfe's a beach

This is a beachcomber-themed restaurant that serves enchiladas, tacos, beer, tequila, and the like. It is laid back, though not run-down (for instance, they have waiter service, silverware, cloth napkins, and the like), with friendly staff and quick service. They have some clearly marked vegan items. I had a vegan enchilada; it was fine, and the portions were pretty filling.

This type of place is admittedly not my scene, and the food was not out of this world--but if you like beer and a relaxed place to hang out with omni friends, this venue is not bad at all.

Pros: Filling, fund beach-type theme, friendly staff, decent food, roomy, clean but not fancy

Cons: Not top-notch vegan food, just decent

Good spot for a quick meal

We had just arrived to town and needed a late lunch. The cauliflower bites and taco /burrito were tasty and satisfying as we began our three day trip to NYC.

Decent amount of vegan friendly selections - fun atmosphere

Walked over from Central Park - the restaurant felt like it belongs on the beach. Lots of fun interior design and spacious outdoor seating. I ordered the vegan enchiladas which were fantastic. Stuffed with loads of veggies and topped with a tangy tomatillo sauce. The vegan pepper jack cheeze that topped it was good but not spicy. I’d go back to try some of their other vegan selections.

Very good!

You can find a few vegan options, which in this case were enough for me because they were very tasty. The portions are big and the prices are ok. Only thing: it was very crowded and really loud. But that might be because of the Halloween celebrations going on the night I was there?

Tacos and margaritas

No frills California style Mexican joint. Decent happy hour margaritas. A few vegan options including hearts of palm tacos. It’s right next-door to the Beacon theater if you’re going to a show.

Pros: Vegan options, Good drinks, Outdoor seating

Cons: Casual fast food

Eh. A Bar, not a restaurant

A fair experience; varied options, but not terribly satisfying.

Fun atmosphere, good food!

Went in for an early dinner on a Saturday and grabbed food and happy hour drinks. I had the vegan enchiladas and partner had vegan tacos. We also split buffalo cauliflower wings, which were very tasty and came with a soy ranch dressing. Food was really good, and atmosphere was Southern California themed. The menu had a handful of vegan options, and about another 5 or so vegetarian options. A solid UWS bar/restaurant to suggest when you’re out with your omni friends and they’re not up for a veg restaurant.

Westside Comedy Club located in basement.

Pros: Tasty vegan food, clearly labeled, Huge drink menu, +happy hours

Cons: Drinks aren’t all that cheap outside happy hour, More vegetarian options than vegan ones, Serves meat
