NYC Restaurant Closings, February 2023 - Eater NY

"Terms of Endearment, a vegan cafe, has shuttered after four years. The restaurant did not provide a reason for the closure, but a Marshal’s notice on the door says the building’s landlord has taken possession of the space. Ahead of the closure, Terms of Endearment was hit with a wave of health code violations that included improperly storing raw foods; it was given a C letter grade on January 5. The business is the latest in a string of closures from restaurateur Brad Baker, who is also behind the Brooklyn restaurants Hartbreakers, Champs Diner, and Screamer’s Pizzeria. All of the businesses have closed locations in recent months: Screamers shuttered its Greenpoint pizzeria last fall after its lease expired, and Champs Diner followed in January; in Bushwick, Hartbreakers and its next-door taqueria Paradise Taco closed last month, too. Only a location of Screamer’s Pizzeria in Crown Heights remains." - Luke Fortney

What truly sets this vegan cafe apart from others I've been to is the unique offerings in their sandwiches and pastries. I got a Spam and Egg sandwich, a Prosciutto and Fig on a croissant, and the mexican and pineapple tarts to go. The sandwiches truly blew my mind, while the tarts were also incredibly good on their own. Topped off with a really good latte, this spread absolutely hit the spot for breakfast and lunch.

Pros: All vegan everything! Their baked goods are excellent. I have tried their cookies, pastries, the breakfast bomb, all kinds of stuff, and I have liked them all. Cons: Pricey (but worth it if you go occasionally) Their made to order cakes are expensive and not all that. Their breakfast sandwiches are a bit inconsistent. I’ve ordered the exact same sandwich twice and they tasted pretty different each time! Not sure what happened. Oh, and once I came like 15 minutes before closing, and there was hardly anything left, and no sandwiches were being made. That was annoying.

The portions were sooo small after being captured by the pictures on Instagram, but it was very delicious! Did not get to try enough but I would definitely recommend. The lady after me was offered free baked goods i over heard since it was about to close and apparently to be thrown out, which sucked cause I’m such a broke b and that French lady definitely seemed loaded!!! Before I left I bought a fruit danish, the employee suggested it.. it was okay.

I was so excited to be here for the first time, 100% vegan! From the outside, it doesn’t look so appealing, but once you get inside everything changes. Beautiful and big place, well decorated and very welcoming staff. There are so many options on display, all looking delicious and fresh. I ordered a croissant with “eggs” and “bacon”, as well as an Americano. Delish! Also, I had the cinammon roll which was way to sweet for my taste. Later in the day, I had the scone with chocolate chips which was divine.

A lovely plant-based cafe in Williamsburg. Their creative vegan pastries look intriguing on their feed, but as you can see in my reel, most of the pastries were gone when we arrived at noon LOL ＊ The Maple Foccacia Sandwich The sandwich was so thick that it was impossible to eat everything in one single bite. The focaccia was pillowy and topped with roasted rosemary. I was amazed that their focaccia wasn’t as greasy as the ones I got from other bakeries. The egg was fluffy and complemented well with the cheddar cheese and be-hive sausage. ＊ Fig and Prosciutto Croissant Sandwich The combination was great, but the croissant was stale and soggy. I read review raving about the flakiness of their croissants, so I didn’t know what happened to mine. It got messy when I tried to devour it as the prosciutto and fig jam kept slipping away. I liked that they spread scallion cream cheese on the croissant, which gave an extra savory layer to balance out the sweetness from the fig jam. ＊ Olive Oil Cake The cake was dense and moist with a hint of zesty citrus throughout. It had a subtle savouriness from the olive oil, served alongside with sliced orange and strawberry. I enjoyed this cake a lot, yet since this was the first olive oil cake I had in my life, I couldn’t compare how was it different from a non-vegan one.

My new favorite cafe EVER! Stunning array of ENTIRELY vegan pastries that will leave your mouth watering, super friendly staff, great coffee, and impeccable vibes. What more could you want from a coffee shop?

Good food. They have lavender latte and rose latte so I’m a fan. Plenty of delicious treats to try. All vegan. Also the prosciutto fig croissant was to die forrrrrr.

Ok, seriously my most favorite vegan bakery or rather bakery right now!! Almost everything (besides their brownie) has been phenomenal!! Really love this place. After being here numerous times since that first visit, the pastries outdo themselves! I wish I could make croissants like this. You have to try!! ———————— Ok update to my initial review. Apparently they close early if they run out of everything. Also they said they've updated their weekend hours until 4pm now as of October 2021. The coffee and dessert was so yummy! And no extra charge for alt Mills because it's a vegan place, yay! Definely want to go back and have some of that good-smelling food. You'll like it, go try! ------- Unfortunately it was 2:30pm on a Saturday and they were closed. Not sure why or if hours have changed. Such a bummer, was looking forward to trying this place!

Reverie is truly an elevated dining experience. As a non-vegetarian, I can say their vegan options were quite delicious and could have fooled me for meat. I was very impressed with the variety of options (plus, the menu changes with the seasons!). And while pricey, this is a wonderful place to be more mindful about what you consume. By the way, you don't go to Reverie to eat but rather to taste. Pro tip: Bring friends and share to get a wider range of the offerings.

I don't know what they're putting in the food here or how they're doing it but it's so good. I just went with some friends for brunch today and have no notes. They're in the space that was formerly Terms of Endearment (RIP) but you'd never know because it seems like they did a near gut renovation. It's a beautiful space and would be good for a date or a small gathering. It's not loud, which is rare and much appreciated by me. Service is great. The menu is the perfect size. Everything we ordered was excellent but to me the standout was the filo roll w cashew ricotta and the chocolate hazelnut cake. Sizes are right and some of the dishes come with some sort of accompaniment. Lots of colors, flavors, textures. You must go as soon as you're able.

I've been to other vegan restaurants by Chef Vaknin in the city... so I wasn't surprised by how flavorful and stunning all the food was here... but I was still thoroughly impressed!! This is fully vegan so when you check the website or menu, don't be thrown off when you see meat words thrown around - it is still all truly vegan! It's an interesting concept and menu as it offers dishes of various cuisines (ex: they Korean BBQ chicken, lamb tagine, pastrami sliders, sushi, and tacos all on the menu). Our favorite dishes that impressed us was the - eggplant unagi (typically eel on sushi rice). One could say yeah it's smothered in teriyaki sauce, but flavor aside, the texture imitated unagi so well too!! - whipped ricotta brioche - how was this so tasty??? it comes with two toasts, but we were yearning for more once it was done. It was topped with so many flavorful ingredients, including "caviar" and "tuna" (when I asked the staff, they let us know it was made with tapioca). Seriously how did they do that?!?! it tasted like the real thing! Even the ricotta... it is made of cashew, but you could have tricked me! The mains were also excellent, although it's easier to tell this is faux meat; but still so close to the real thing in terms of texture and flavor (short ribs and lamb tagine). If you are to get anything here: you MUST try the cocktails, the appetizers/small bites/noshes, and desserts. SO SO good, whether you're vegan or not. And if you or a friend/family member IS vegan, you MUST take them here. It's so refreshing to go to a vegan restaurant where dishes are up to par with its non-vegan counterpart, and Reverie does that so well.

Honestly I agree with other comments about this being one of the top quality vegan restaurants in the city right now. The service we got was great. We walked in on Friday night and got seating at the bar (the bartender was great and took the time to explain each dish thoroughly!). Very much a date night/low key romantic dining vibe inside. The dishes were way beyond expectations. Noshes: - spicy tuna cones: I've never had vegan tuna but this was shocking how well they got the texture and flavors right. Apparently it's made from tapioca?? Go figure. Highly recommend. Came with 4 mini cones. - gaucho toast: delicious as well. The steak was so realistic and the homemade toast was also great. - carne asada Tacos (3 per order): this is bigger than a nosh, it's crazy how well they got the flavors down. FYI it's a hard shell taco Main: - pulled pork sliders: loved every part of this. Even the side potatoes were great. Again, they nailed the flavors and the textures. Desserts: - passion fruit tart: great flavors and pretty large portion! - hazelnut crunch chocolate cake: exactly what it sounds like. Very solid. I'm not the biggest dessert person so i enjoyed the savory dishes more but these desserts were very well made. The only ding I have from the whole night was the ube latte - tasted more like a black coffee with some ube foam. Thats the one item I could have done without. Overall super impressive quality. And honestly the prices weren't that bad given the fine-dining-esque vibe and the quality of the food. Will definitely be back to try more!

This is probably the best vegan restaurant in New York right now (aside from hangwei and eleven Madison). Expensive, but worth the visit. It delivered on every level: taste, presentation, service, and overall vibe. I sat next to two Brazilian influencers who basically said they never ate vegan, but this place was amazing. The "lamb" bites and the Korean bbq "chicken" were the standouts. Don't let being a carnivore stop you this place is just good food. Highly recommend it!

Reverie is the first Brooklyn venture of City Group Hospitality. It's also uniquely different from its sister restaurants as it pulls inspiration from a broader reach and not just one region our cuisine. The food at Reviere was exceptional. I was highly impressed at the plant forward recipes. The menu blends unique ingredients into flavorful, elevated dishes, with several meat substitute options for those looking. I started with the Confit of Leeks while my friend had the Charred Eggplant both were delicious and unique. The Citrus Beet Salad was my entrée, and it was bright and refreshing with a mix of mandarin, grapefruit, beets, cheese, and nuts. For dessert, I had the Chocolate Hazelnut Cake, which tasted like a luxe Ferrero Rocher... it was so good! I paired it with an Ube Latte, and the combo was perfect. Also, i highly recommend the Sunbeam cocktail; it's like an adult creamsicle and pure sunshine in a glass. I'm so glad one of Guy Vaknin's restaurants is now in Brooklyn, in the old Terms of Endearment space. The vibe may have changed, but it still honors the vegan community. I'm already planning my next visit!

Chef Guy's newest concept did NOT disappoint - I'm so glad they made this a full restaurant rather than the original just dessert plan. The decor is beautiful and aesthetically pleasing as always, and the menu features such a unique variety of items. To drink, I was blown away by the Sunbeam, even though I don't usually go for tequila-based cocktails. To eat, we tried the Caviar Bellini (SO realistic it was almost scary), Eggplant Unagi, Caramelized Onion Phyllo, the Miso Ribs (think more of a steak than rib texture) and the Pastrami Sliders, which was my favorite dish of the evening. DO NOT skip dessert. To be honest, none of the desserts caught my eye initially but I am so glad we ordered the Cheesecake and Hazelnut Cake regardless. The chocolate cake is one of the best cakes I've ever had - the nougat crunch on the bottom...chef's kiss. I don't even usually like cakes! I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu!

The restaurant was beautiful. Everything we got was a 10/10! Taste was amazing and presentation was gorgeous! The Eggplant unagi was one of the best things I've had in nyc! We will definitely be back.

I'm a long time vegetarian (more than 40 years) and though I don't eat vegan, I love the idea of a menu that's entirely plant based. After eating here twice, I'm impressed by how flavorful everything is and at the same time feels relatively light. Last night, my friend and I had leeks, eggplant and broccolini, and we ordered gluten-free crackers to mop up the remaining sauces that were so good I wanted to lick the plate clean. But it's too nice a place to do that. :)

Celebrated my husbands birthday tonight. It was worth driving almist 2 hours for. Once again, completely blown away by the food of Chef Guy Vaknin! This is now the 5th restaurant of his that I've been to, and it was phenomenal! The restaurant was beautifully decorated, all of them have a level of class. The service was excellent, everyone was so friendly. Tonight my husband and I actually saw the chef in person!! Highly recommend and will definitely go back!

I had such an incredible time at Réverie last week. This was my best vegan experience thus far in New York City. The variety of dishes is outstanding. My recommendations: the salmon cones, the shiitake mushroom flatbread, the lamb tagine (incredible!!), and the onion phyllo. You can't go wrong with these 4 items. Even though I was already full and not a desert person, I decided to get tempted with their signature hazelnut chocolate cake. OMG! What an incredible desert, not too sweet, crispy on the bottom and soft in the middle. Perfect combination. Lastly, I really loved the decor, very French, elegant and classy! Perfect for a date :) I really can't wait to be back! :)

This is a great vegan cocktail spot i highly recommend. The food we had was spot on tasteful and dare i say my favorite in bk. The service was hospitable and friendly even the manager was great. The selection was varied and worth bringing friends for a hang. The value was very decent for a place in NY and i will be coming back for more.

Great food! Great service and sexy ambiance for a first date. Probably one of the best vegan places in Williamsburg hands down.
