    Definitely worth checking out. Absolutely so if vegan or should you reside on the Upper West Side. I have a daughter who is a very picky eater and Candle lit her up.

    Hostess was terrible. I arrived, gave my name and was seated. I was waiting for a friend to join me. 25 minutes passed and I was still waiting for my friend to join me, only to find out when I called him to see where he was, that he had been seated at another table about 2 minutes after I had arrived. Inexcusable. No apology. The hostess even had an attituxde when I questioned her as to why this had happened-- we had both given her my name, which was how the reservation was made. Also charged $2.00 for bread--actually it was 2 slices of toast. Really classless. Notwithstanding the above, food was excellent. Fire the hostess.

    this menu was impressive and creative, but the actual cooking was not delicious in any way. My son did not like the rissotto, the sauce was overbearing and the risotto itself was too hard. I liked the polenta, but it was not anything i could not have assembled at home. Neither one of us exclaimed "yum" at all The service was very good.

    Candle Cafe West is one of my favorite restaurants in NYC because the food is not only vegan and environmentally-responsible it is creative and out-of-this-world delicious. It is consistently outstanding in terms of great food and the service always excellent.

    Food had a beautiful presentation. No taste and like warm. Too expensive for what it was. If you’re a vegan, it might work better
