Dessert was lovely! - Edit
Only went for dessert but the Pistachio Budino was divine and the Fennel Upside Down cake w/ Earl Grey ice cream was also a good choice! We sat at the bar and the atmosphere was great. Would definitely go back to try their dinner options.

Maybe the best vegan restaurant I've ever been to - Edit
Wow. Every dish we got was a nice little surprise to see, and then to taste. Very creative and delicious! We wanted to try everything, but a few dishes stood out like the fondue and mushrooms, and our waiter made some excellent recommendations for other dishes that went well with what we ordered (and were fresh and new to the menu). Looks like they have a cookbook you can order online which I need! The cocktails and mocktails were great too. Definitely a good spot for a special occasion!
Read morePros: Very creative dishes, Fun venue
Cons: More expensive than most vegan places I've been to

Great Experience - Edit
We have been to Vedge twice, most recently in December 2022. The food is thoughtfully prepared, creative and delicious!! Beautiful atmosphere and great service. The bar area is worth visiting as well before or after a meal.

Phenomenal - Edit
We appreciated that Vedge offered a limited menu because it made choosing a little easier. All dishes are small-medium plates, so definitely plan on at least two dishes per person if you’re hungry. We tried the carrot rillettes, portobello carpuccio, Dan Dan noodles, fregola, and the fennel upside down cake. All were well seasoned and unforgettably delicious except for the fregola, which was underseasoned and bland.
Read moreService was extremely attentive and friendly, and the cocktails were excellent! Definitely plan on making a reservation beforehand.
Pros: Concise menu , Excellent cocktails , Attentive service

A renewed appreciation of Vegetables - Edit
Vedge provides a true culinary artistry to every-day produce. The changing menu will certainly keep me coming back for more. Yes , they do make "smaller" portioned entrees than the average restaurant. Take their advice and order/share a few different plates.
Read morePros: Creative cuisine , Bold flavors , True Vegan

Earned it's reputation - Edit
Vedge is one of the most elegant vegan restaurants out there. In my opinion it not only competes with fine dining in NYC, but beats it. The menu is always fresh and unique with incredible cocktails. There is a reason it is more than locally recognized!

Wish I could give it 10 stars - Edit
This place really deserves its reputation as one of the premier vegan restaurants in the US. I was in the area for work and couldn’t pass up the opportunity to finally visit (on the company’s dime lol). I had the fondue and grilled tofu, both of which were absolutely incredible. The cocktails, service, and toffee pudding were also top notch. This was definitely one of my favorite dining experiences ever

Excellent high end vegan - Edit
First off, we have been here many times. We have been to Vedge for special occasions or just dinner with friends. The food is excellent and creative. You can try many small dishes and the restaurant has a cool vibe and is in a neat building. I think it would be hard to walk away disappointed. That said, you need to be realistic. Vedge has won many awards and received exceptional rankings as a top vegan restaurant. It is in fact an excellent restaurant, which is not cheap, but also not the most expensive place either. I cannot say it is the best vegan I have had ever. It is absolutely a top destination for us (considering it is an hour away and we have been numerous times), but if you go in expecting your mind to be blown you won’t get the most out of the experience. Go in expecting a great meal, lots of options, very good service and you will be very pleased.
Read morePros: Lots of options, Good vibe and location , Well prepared dishes
Cons: More expensive than some want, Reservations can be hard to get at times

A Bit Disappointed - Edit
Supposedly one of the best vegan places in the world - so we had high hopes. The food was definitely good, just don't think it was worth all the hype. We eat at Millennium in Oakland, CA frequently, so we compared it to that, which wins on warmth and overall dining experience. This place was just a little too precious. Also, the waiter suggested 4-6 plates for the two of us, which was way too much (and we have good appetites). Four would have been plenty. Overall, good, competent vegan food, glad the place exists, but not worth a trip back.
Read morePros: Squash, Tofu, Pretzel bread
Cons: Lack of warmth in restaurant, Too precious

Good to know, I was wondering how it compared to Millennium

We just ate at Plant, in Asheville, also in the high-end vegan category. (We are on a 7-month road trip, trying to hit them all). Plant was amazing, in the Millennium category. Warm and inviting (small) place, great food.

Fab food and service - Edit
In Philly for one day and had to treat myself. Say at the bar and had three outstanding courses, plus a glass of wine and dessert. I expected fantastic food, and Vedge did not disappoint. But the best part was the bartender, who executed all aspects of her job perfectly. I felt completely cared for in exactly the way I’d wanted.

Not bad - Edit
I had very high expectations for this restaurant, as I had heard it was one of the best vegan restaurants in the USA.
Read moreI found the service to be wonderful, and a great ambiance. My food phographed beautifully, but I felt there was not a strong direction with either dish I ordered flavor-wise. I would have ordered more, but I was not feeling the flavors.

Amazing flavors - Edit
This place has been hyped so much that I was a little afraid that a visit would disappoint but it didn’t. On the contrary: I was flabbergasted by all the flavors added to the vegetables on the menu. We had a hard time choosing our dishes because everything looked great. We ended up picking the Portobella Carpaccio (superb), the potatoes (amazing yellow sauce), the fondue with rutabaga (yum), the broccoli steak (amazingly grilled) and the sliced tofu (wonderful). Would love to go back to check out the rest of their menu. If it only wasn’t 800mi from home 😊 As a dessert we picked the pavlova (with vegan lemon curd!!!). Also try the Pennsylvanian Gruner Veltliner white wine. It paired wonderfully well with everything. This is really a five (or more) stars place! Compliments to the chefs!!!

Incredible food… but given its reputation, one expects that. It’s the service that really sets the place apart. But speaking of food… it’s not food… it’s haute cuisine! It’s art. And delicious art at that. Eating at Vedge is an experience we all should have… way more than once.
