About this restaurant

Vegan-friendly
Good for special occasions
Innovative

Inspired by American mid-century continental-style fine dining, VULTURE is a resurrected institution of yesteryear, revisited through the eclectic possibility of today. Elegant, inventive plant-based dishes honor the sophistication of the past and reveal the daring potential of the present. Classic and forgotten cocktails are reclaimed and re-oriented, dignity intact but with charm and character amplified.

VULTURE is a fertile oasis, a secluded nest amidst arid convention. You will be roused by its audacious originality and comforted by its strange familiarity. It is the home of the best dinner party of your life, and the most fussed over Martini in the city.

To arrive at VULTURE, walk inside our storefront micro-diner named DREAMBOAT, where our Maître d' will be waiting for you in the back of the diner.

We were very excited to try this new vegan steakhouse and it didn't disappoint! The crab cake were full of flavor, the parmigiana was filling, and the Oscar steak filet was unbelievable how much it tasted like a real steak. Full of flavor and overall a wonderful experience. Loved that they serve mini drinks as well! So clever and cute. Would definitely recommend, even for those meat eaters that might be skeptical!

I had high expectations for my dinner at Vulture as I love both Mothership and Kindred. I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED. Everything was on point. Food, drinks, ambience were all phenomenal. Will definitely be back!

I'm a vegetarian / former omnivore and I've eaten in restaurants all over the world. This was the BEST MEAL I'VE EVER HAD. Not the best "vegan" meal I've ever had - the best meal (full stop / period) that I've ever had. I've had great dishes at other places, but taken as a whole, no other meal I've ever had even comes close. I'm not overly sentimental or whatever but I ACTUALLY CRIED. Tears of joy. Tears of joy.

The lion's mane mushroom Steak Diane was pricey but superb, more "steak like" than anything I've eaten in 28 years as a vegan. The broccolini with Hollandaise sauce was spot on, and the Baked Alaska dessert was a feast!

While we are not their target audience (we are not vegan) the food was pretty delicious. If one isn't accustomed to Vegan food, it can sometimes be on the salty side. All that being said, it was high quality and flavorful. My only critique is surrounding the way the menu is setup. I think it would be a lot better to just offer normal servings or only the full course menu for one price. As it stands, the main course is way too expensive for what you end up getting. But if it were part of a full course meal, it would make sense. You must order one entree from each course or you will leave hungry.

Nice drinks and if you want a Vegan menu, this is the place! The parmigiana eggplant and carrot cake are a must!

Great experience. Will be back ASAP!!! Menu was great with all great options, it was so hard to choose just one, so we got a few ;). Loved the cute pink dessert menu and great dessert drinks.
