    Wow! The delicious Avocado BLT Wrap with tempeh bacon n their signature Chipotle Mayo that was crazy good. Fries were amazing!
    Ray N.

    Vegan never tasted so delicious, so addicting and soooo good. Kale in a juice with mango, pineapple and lemon never tasted so good. Hail Kale! Hail to the fantastic Breanna who prepared this amazing juice with a lot of love. Breanna, you are a rock star and just the perfect front person who greeted me so warmly and helped me patiently with the menu. To the owner Craig. Sir, you did good and you got this right. Great, clean and inviting space which is totally COVID compliant. Your menu is fantastic. I have never had a Vegan wrap with tempeh bacon and avocados that tasted so darned amazing. Your special chipotle mayo sauce was to die for. My grandkids inhaled my fries with this sauce and the ketchup. Just stellar. Craig your employees from Breanna to this other very sweet and jovial lady with short hair to the very calm and kind gents in the kitchen were spectacular. I sat and waited for my order and the vibe was chill and just great. Can't wait for indoor dining to commence. Love the specials. I'll be back to terminate my never ending new taste for Vegan comfort food; can't wait to try Ashley's Tuna Melt, the Cauliflower bites, the black eyed pea soup, your pizzas, the quinoa salad, the other juices and lovely smoothies, the Rasta Pasta, the waffles, the other wraps and your pancakes and yes can't forget the Mac n cheese. Closed Mondays. Open 11-9 Tuesday to Sunday. Just 4 miles north and east of JFK airport and 22 miles east of my office on Broadway in TriBeCa in Manhattan. A Live Kitchen sure has me excited and pumped to get back!

    BLACK OWNED! I like the place. It has a nice vibe. It's a vegan restaurant, and I will be going back to try all the plates they have to offer here. We stopped in for a "Tasty Turmeric" smoothie, and my lady decided to try a Pizza Empanada. I must say, that was a very delicious appetizer. The "Spelt" flour dough is great with the homemade tomato sauce. Very tasty and fresh. I love the seating up front and the juice bar in the back. It looks like they have a small stage in the back for live performances. The chef can be viewed in a small glass kitchen that is visible from the front dining area. I will rate the food when I go back and some more of the dishes there so, stay tuned!

    I was looking for a place to get a healthy smoothie and came across this place while I was across the street at another establishment. I decided to give it a try and it was amazing. I ordered two smoothies and a Caesar salad, everything was fresh and delicious. It's a black owned vegan restaurant much needed in the neighborhood.

    Take out menu. Sorry for condition

    Caribbean fare + Vegan how can you go wrong? Needed something to carry me over to later. I went to the back where take out is and ordered the jerk cauliflower wings. They took a loong to come out but I forgot about all of that after my first bite. It was crunchy and flavorful. Granted it didn't taste like jerk but still delish. The portion was just right for me. I was happy and satisfied. I'll be back to try something else as I definitely think this place may be deserving of 4 stars.

    Came in here for Saturday brunch. I felt like service was a bit on the slow side but maybe I'm a little picky since I was a server for over 4 years. Anyways food was on point! And piping hot. No extra seasoning needed, there weren't any salt/peppers shakers on any tables in the front. I'm glad that the brunch menu had like 5 selections so easy breezy but reading the descriptions, most of the entrees had the same thing in them. For example the scrambled tofu. I would definitely return for dinner and try the juices next time around.

    Triple berry smoothie !

    Fire, fire , fire ! Pick up order came fast as hell ! Vegan food that taste regular, Haha ! Young staff working here but they are absolutely pleasant, well mannered, and knowledgeable about the menu. Definitely recommend. I'm harsh with my reviews . But they did everything right ! Love it here ! I order a beyond burger and pizza empanadas!

    Suite 36 Brunch & Bistro

    Poor service, unavailable, menu items and mediocre food…read more The chicken noodle soup came out room temperature and in our opinion did not taste good. It had a heavy lemon taste. I ordered chicken and waffles from the brunch menu which was supposed to come with chicken breast but the server placed the order from main menu, which instead offered wings. The cook came from the kitchen with a very unfriendly demeanor to let me know that she already dropped the chicken and pretty much implied that I would be getting the wings as she already started cooking them. I informed her I will take the wings. However, I still ended up getting the chicken breast tenders. The server offered to make one of the guests, a custom drink, and it was very heavy with rum and was not mixed well as the drink separated shortly after receiving it. All guests ordered a meal from the brunch menu along with a glass of ginger ale. However, we were charged for the drinks, even though it was supposed to be unlimited with brunch. I did not catch that until I got home and realized the drinks were charged separately. (yes we were within the 90 minute limit.) Additionally, only three out of the four ginger ale's came out. She took so long to bring the last one that the guest just declined it as we were almost finished eating. One of the guests ordered French toast with sausage but received bacon instead she also ordered the macaroni and cheese with bacon at the same time and the server did not bring it out. She had to be reminded and he came out very late. The macaroni and cheese was not good. It had the appearance of being cooked in a rush. There were big pieces of bacon in it versus the typical smaller bits the cheese was very dry One of the guest ordered the snapper, but the server returned a few minutes later to inform us that they are out of snapper. Be aware that gratuity was automatically included for a party of four. That might explain the not so good service as there is no incentive to do better.

    I visited Suite 36 Brunch & Bistro for the second time on Saturday, March 21st with a 2p…read morereservation; however, we arrived around 1:50p. Given my first experience in February, was outstanding, I decided to bring a friend to experience the food. Firstly, I cannot rave enough about the food, 10/10, the chef is on point. This visit, I had the lambchops and grits, and my friend had the bacon fried rice. Excellent, no complaints. The 90 minute bottomless options, specifically, the cocount pineapple mimosa, perfection, no complaints. Secondly, while there was no DJ this time(first time there was and he was on point), the vibe was still nice and perfect for a Saturday brunch. Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed with this second visit, as around 3:30pm we were asked to leave (we had a full carafe remianing of our bottomless mimosa, but was able to take it with us, so not a waste), as there was a private event in the afternoon/evening. I have no concerns with the restaurant renting for private events; however,I'd expect to be advised there is a time limit for seating when either making the reservation for that day or upon arrival to the restaurant. Not sure of the system limitations for reservations, but perhaps include a note for that day/time letting people know there is an earlier shut down. But, if that isn't an option, at the very least verbally advise of the private event and the shutdown, when the patrons physically arrive at the restaurant. This time, I made the reservation by phone a week earlier. Had I known they were planning to shut down to the public at a certain time, I would have altered the reservation to arrive earlier. Additionally, there were patrons who arrived after us, so their time was cut shorter. If not for the private event, there were empty tables, so we would not have needed to leave at that point to allow for other patrons to be seated. I plan to return as the food is exceptional, not over priced and worth additional visits; however, I want the owners to appreciate how it can be offputting to be asked to leave in that manner. Please be mindful in the future of cutting short the dining experience without prior communication. Other than that, this is a a great option for brunch!

As you know we tear the bday girl so it came out to about 40 dollars including tip per person. We weren't a big drinking group but if you are add another 10-30 per person if everyone is going to have a drink or two. Food was pretty good. It's an open pitch concept. So you can see them prepping your food. Wait staff was super nice and friendly. Decor is rustic ao super cute for pics. Chicken and waffles were a hit at our table. A few ppl had mimosas ans were please with the oj to champagne ratio. The chocolate mouse was delicious ! I had the salmon burger it was not a salmon patty it was a cut of salmon The culmination of the customer service and ambience I give them a five. Food is good and decent portion size.

It is a residential area so keep that in mind. We were seated right away during the midday hour. There were other people there but it wasn't overly crowded which was really relaxing and comfortable. The service was exceptional. To put a cherry on top of this review, I would like to add that we asked for the manager and she came over to our table sat with us, had coffee, and we had a really great conversation about so many different topics. That really was impressive because it's so important for managers to know their customers, and to know the community that they are doing business in. One to the food, the jerk salmon was well seasoned, and well prepared. It was cooked to a great temperature and tasted really good. The chicken and waffles were well seasoned and the waffle was so fluffy and warm and nice. I really appreciated the fact that although it was chicken tenders, the batter was seasoned really well and you could taste something other than just chicken. lol. I would definitely return because I saw so many things on the menu that I would want to try. they also serve mimosas, wine, and lots of hot drinks and I want to try their mimosa flight.

I was intrigued by those entering the establishment who were greeted on a first name basis you could tell they had been been patronizing the place for years and even though it was my first time visiting this establishment, I was greeted with the same warmth and care. I never felt rushed if there is a negative that would be they don't take plastic but other than that if you're looking for a warm pleasant place to eat breakfast because that's all I had, I recommend the place. I'm definitely going back trying either the lunch or dinner menu.
