About this restaurant

  • Innovative

Cutting edge vegetables with added flavor and no politics in this sleek and stylish restaurant showcasing colorful, pop-tastic dishes from award-winning chef, Amanda Cohen. A full bar, counter seating, a wine list curated by wine director, Ben Eyring, and vegetables in all their earth-shattering, gob-smacking glory. Diners coming for dinner will have a choice of The Vegetable Patch ($65, tip included) featuring five courses of Dirt Candy’s greatest hits, or they can take a trip to The Vegetable Garden ($99, tip included) which is at least nine courses and changes according to the season, what we’re experimenting with, and what our foragers and farmers bring to our door. Dirt Candy offers an a la carte menu at the bar only.

    We have several dietary restrictions. They made us feel welcome and we had a wonderful meal. Great flavors and a wonderful, relaxed ambiance.

    I went her with my husband & 2 teenage sons. Being the only vegetarian in the family, they were too excited. All 4 of us loved it! We did the smaller tasting menu with the wine pairing. It was deliciously creative and such a treat for me to be able to try everything on the table. Wonderful experience.

    Amazing!! We were completely full and the tastes were extremely well balanced and engaging from course to course. We had the Vegetable Garden. Looking forward to the next opportunity to visit.

    we had a bit of a rough start. we booked through open table and once arriving at dirt candy were told that our reservation could not be found. eventhough we received emails and texts reminding us of our reservation and asking more than once to confirm. the staff at dirt candy was a bit reluctant to accommodate us and it was only after threatening to leave that we were finally seated. once seated and we calmed down, the evening progressed pleasantly. the experience was interesting but did not match expectations. some dishes were very, very interesting. others not meeting the presentation. overall everything was over salted, it seemed to us. however, the wines were very, very interesting and educational. at the end of the evening the hostess came over and chatted with us and we had pleasant conversation. overall a very nice evening, but i doubt we would return.

    Absolutely one of the best dining experiences in NYC. The vegetables are heavenly, obviously prepared with love and devotion, and the people are soooo lovely. Can't wait to go back!
