Veg - Winner - Best Restaurant for Vegetarians
My Wife and I decided to see what all the buzz was about with this small, "NY SOHO" atmosphere eatery.
We were totally in awe.
We ordered "Gambas Al Ajillo,it was outstanding, It may be known as "Shrimp in garlic" but the presentation, the hot delicious bread, the magnificent shrimp and garlic sauce combination was superior to any we have ever experienced anywhere. We realize this is a strong accolade for such a simplistic dish, but at "Veg", this serving was truly awesome.
The Service was excellent, the entree came out with a plate over the entree plate, when lifted up, it was "Paella Valenciana" a combination of shrimp, muscles clams, so many different selections of seafood along with peas and rice in a very light sauce that was perhaps the best entree we have ever ordered anywhere. The good news was it was featured all week, the sad news is, it was not on the menu as "THE MOST INCREDIBLE ENTREE YOU WILL EVER ENJOY", because, the taste, the serving, the entire entree was beyond superb. We don't rave about restaurants, but when you find a "GEM" that has fantastic food, excellent service, and you feel like your treated as though your the most special couple in the place, with food that is beyond any place you ever eaten in 50 years, you have to go beyond "RAVE", to express your opinion.
Don't even take our word for it, enjoy and marvel yourself

This is hands down my absolute favorite place to eat! I have never been disappointed in anything offered here, in fact, I've always been impressed! I highly recommend Veg to everyone - even the most meaty meat eaters will not be disappointed in the food!

We have been there twice and everything we have had has been excellent. Lots of great vegan options too. Cozy atmosphere and great service. We will be back very often.
Are the words fresh, homemade and most importantly, delicious what you want to say after you enjoy a meal out with family and friends? Of course!
Add organic, locally grown and vegetarian or vegan, and you have Veg, A Vegetarian & Seafood Eatery This unique restaurant joined the eclectic Gulf Gate restaurant scene in February 2009, when owners Marty and Maggie Glucklich turned this small space (formerly Deja Vu) in an unassuming shopping strip into a haven for all things delicious.
I arrived at Veg early, hoping to avoid the lunch crowd, but by 11:40 a.m. on a recent Wednesday, the place was already hopping, and by the time I left, over an hour later, it was packed. It seems word has gotten out about this hidden jewel, and no wonder, given the interesting menu, the friendly service, and the delicious food.

Since I wanted to enjoy locally sourced items, I asked for a suggestion and was most happily served an outstanding Pan-seared-tofu Salad ($8.99). My plate was piled high with a colorful combination of fresh local field greens and an unexpected medley of lightly steamed bok choy, Swiss chard, and purple and green cabbage. It was adorned with perfectly crisp tofu, julienne, carrots and fresh pea sprouts dressed with a refreshing Oriental ginger dressing.
The contrasting colors, flavors, textures, and temperatures of all the items in the dish kept it interesting, delicious, and sensory-pleasing to the bottom of my plate. Well, I should say to the bottom of my leftover carton, because the salad was generously portioned, and I certainly had to save room for dessert.
A Good Place to Meet Friends
While I was enjoying my lunch at the restaurant's counter (I left the tables for those larger than a party of one), a nice gentleman sat next to me. We started chatting and once I told him I was writing a review, he offered a bite of his Southwest Chipotle Seitan Sandwich special. Obviously unaccustomed to strangers in restaurants offering to share their meal with me, I was quickly assured by Maggie that it happens at Veg all the time. I promptly took my new friend up on his offer, and was glad I did: the day's special was delicious fresh avocado, a Seitan patty, and caramelized onions served with a chipotle aioli on fresh focaccia.
Ah, now for the dessert Since my new friend was generous to share his sandwich, I in turn offered to share my not one, but two delicious vegan desserts. We both loved the Coconut Cream Pie ($3.99) and the Brownie Parfait with Coconut Milk Ice Cream ($5.49). While I still haven't decided which one I enjoyed more, I can tell you that the pie was one of the best I have ever tasted. Most assuredly, I still can't figure out how Marty and Maggie made these two dishes both dairy-free and delicious.
Veg not only does it right by offering dishes that appeal to vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike, they also offer gluten-free dishes such as Fish Tacos, and several vegan options, including the very popular Portobello Mushroom Volcano ($11.99). Veg also has offerings just for kids on their Little Sprouts Menu, with items all kids enjoy, including organic mac n cheese and fish sticks.
