NURSE ROB
Amazing vegan food! I have been to so many vegan restaurants in Long Island, Brooklyn, Manhattan, LA and this is def top 5 of my all time favorite. The food is delicious, the server was very kind and accommodating with our 6 month old in a stroller. You can eat outside in the back patio where you can see a beautiful view or inside with good Cold AC. Bathroom was super clean. I loved the decoration on the walls and the vibe was very relaxed. People were very relaxed and casual as well. I felt super comfortable and the staff were smiling and very friendly.

Went here on a Thursday afternoon for lunch and it was perfect! LOTS of GF options and very tasteful food. The view of the water is the perfect backdrop while dining. Will definitely be back!!

Loved the ambiance of this restaurant that is set off a wooded street and right near the water. There is outdoor seating on their back bacolony that allows you to view the harbor and a small outdoor area at the front. The Purple Elephant statue is definitely a kid attraction, as they are compelled to climb aboard to take pics. Lot’s of Vegan options, as well as some Non-Vegan. The Buffalo Cauliflower was a big hit, as well as the Shrimp Patacones with Guacamole (served on fried plantain patties), and the Onion Rings. I ordered the Vegan Bean Burger with Yucca Fries. Not a fan of the burger, but the yucca fries were yummy. The burger flavor was there, but it was not appealing to the eye and it crumbled out of the bun. I wound up eating it with a fork. We ended our meal with desserts. The mini cheesecakes were delish, but as stated on the menu, they are mini, 2 bite-sized pieces. The rice pudding was delish, but the Vegan Creme Brulee was super dry.

This plant-centric restaurant never disappoints. The Vegan Wings w/3 dipping sauces are tender and juicy. The Smashed Avocado Toast has their creamy homemade guacamole on top of ciabatta toast with a splash of heat from the chipotle mayo, but not too much as to overpower the flavors. I love the Kitchen Sink vegan salad with kale, veggies, tofu and marinated tempeh- the red beet dressing is delicious and its sweetness balances the kale. Leave room for dessert…the Chocolate Mousse w/coconut whipped cream is out of this world!!!! You will never guess it is vegan and made with avocados!

We enjoyed our dinner at the Purple Elephant and would recommend it if you’re looking for a nice meal in the area. They offer a good mix of vegan/vegetarian/meat dishes to satisfy most everyone. The patio was toasty warm even on the cool evening and the setting is lovely.
