Thyme and Tonic's fare (gluten free + kosher) worked better in concept than execution. Our party of 3 grabbed a table for brunch on a late Sunday morning. We were seated quickly and got our orders in: an OG breakfast (eggs + mushroom sausage + tomatoes + home fries), an omelette (eggs + caramelized onions + sauteed spinach + mushrooms + vegan feta), and loaded fries (sauteed mushrooms + grilled tomato + fried egg + veggie gravy over fries). Service was exceptionally slow given that it wasn't a packed house, though the food was pretty good if not memorable. The eggs in the omelette were overcooked, though the combination of onion + mushrooms + spinach + vegan feta was tasty, and the two slices of gluten free loaf on the side were a light and fitting side read more

So annoyed i called to confirm the hours for today and someone answered saying they're opened at 1130am. When i got there they weren't open until noon. Wtf So I came back again a little after noon to order some pretzels and the gentleman in the host stand said he will ask the kitchen and they said it will be done in 15 mins. After 15 mins to 20 mins I came back and they said sorry it won't be ready for another 1 or so. But yet you see a bunch of staffs in the room just hanging around playing with their phones. I was already annoyed running back and forth. I'm more annoyed with the service. Telling me to order something else than pretzels. We drove all the way from long island for their gluten free pretzels and now i don't think we will be coming back there again. They could easily just say sorry we don't make pretzels on the weekdays or certain days. So annoyed!!! read more

Could have been a meal to remember, sadly it will be remembered for the disappointment it brought. We came here because my friend needs gluten free food. The place is adorable. The drinks are next level. The service is lousy. We were looking forward to dinner and visiting. We managed to place our order and get a drink and that was it. No one returned to our table and there was no opportunity to get a second drink. The restaurant missed out on multiple additional drinks and dessert because we were so frustrated. I had the burger and the patty lacked flavor, but I wouldn't have cared if I could have had another drink. read more

I'm always happy to come across an entirely GF menu, espec one that takes items that normally aren't GF and makes them GF (instead of those that are just naturally that way). I was a little sad they were out of the pretzel and dumplings but I thoroughly enjoyed their chicken fingers, onion rings, guac and fries. I also enjoyed my passion fruit lemonade and strawberry fields drinks and the HH prices. Sauces were all delicious too, great service and cute vibe. Can't wait to go back! read more

We had such a marvelous experience here. Forgot to get the waiter's name but they were fantastic & gave us some pretzel bites they were going to throw out at the end of the day. Amazing. Gluten free. Food. Wow. So many options I'm not used to having at restaurants. Some amazing classic chicken tenders. A sopping wet burger that held together with a crispy bun. Pretzel bites. CHURROS. Everything was delightfully greasy and delicious. My only critique is that the churros had too much sugar for my taste. I was scraping off gobs of it before each bite. But no complaints. Thank you so much, Thyme and Tonic, for MAKING my NYC gluten free experience! So grateful we stopped here, rock on! Dont forget to check out their bagel places around the city! read more

We specifically chose Thyme and Tonic for brunch as they offered gluten free items. We had a hard time deciding on what to order as everything sounded delicious, but in the end I chose the cheddar scramble with avocado and my sister had the smoked salmon latke -- plus a couple of breakfast cocktails, of course. In addition to the yummy food, Thyme and Tonic also had the cutest decor and ambiance. We were seated outside in the covered seating area which had a pretty pastel color scheme and barrels for tables (an "influencer's" wet dream, I'm sure). Words cannot do it justice -- just take a look at my photos. Great food and fabulous decor -- five stars in my book! [Yelp collections: East Coast 2022; NY Summer 2022] read more

Came here over the summer for a bite and was so excited to come back for brunch. Perfect for being gf/df. Chicken + waffle was perfect amount of sweet / savory and the texture of waffle did not taste gluten free. I also ordered the pancakes with an amazing strawberry drizzle - literally tasted like cake. Staff is incredibly friendly. Vibe is also a 12/10. Perfect spot to come alone and read a book or catch up with friends / family. read more

THIS RESTAURANT HAS A "C" FOOD INSPECTION RATING!! And of course didn't put that in the window. Checked after 4 of us get sick after eating here, including my poor preschooler that was vomiting the next day. See details from their inspection in November 2024: "1) Evidence of rats or live rats in establishment's food or non-food areas. 2) Food contact surface not properly washed, rinsed and sanitized after each use and following any activity when contamination may have occurred. 3) Filth flies or food/refuse/sewage associated with (FRSA) flies or other nuisance pests in establishment's food and/or non-food areas. FRSA flies include house flies, blow flies, bottle flies, flesh flies, drain flies, Phorid flies and fruit flies. 4) Cold TCS food item held above 41 °F; smoked or processed fish held above 38 °F; intact raw eggs held above 45 °F; or reduced oxygen packaged (ROP) TCS foods held above required temperatures except during active necessary preparation. Other violations: 1) Current letter grade or Grade Pending card not posted" Absolutely shameful! These are the same owners as Modern Bread & Bagel so clearly they know how to run a restaurant, but aren't doing so here. When so few places are gluten free and especially gluten free & kosher, I'd like to think food safety would be a concern for those of us with significant dietary needs. But clearly multiple C ratings in a row isn't enough to change their priorities. Beyond disappointed that we spend hundreds here to get food poisoning. This restaurant should be shut down. read more

Being real, the biggest benefit to Thyme and Tonic is it's gluten free food/kitchen. It's a rare thing to find a place that is truly safe for folks with severe gluten intolerance. The staff was friendly and atmosphere warm and welcoming. At the same time, the food itself was pretty lackluster in flavor and tasted pretty bland. Gluten free doesn't mean one has to sacrifice flavor, just gluten! Ordered a few things with a party of 5 so we were able to try a few things and they each missed the mark in their own way. Again, I don't want to take away the value of a gluten free establishment (which is needed) but when it starts to feel like you're going there because you can versus because you want to, that's where the mark is missed. read more

It's so rare to find a restaurant that specializes in serving vegan and gluten free dishes. All the dishes were OK. We got the hyped onion rings, but I found them to be a bit too oily for my taste. The chicken tenders were quite good - the coating was surprisingly good for it being gluten-free. The burgers were a bit bland, but I enjoyed the caramelized onions in it. Service was ok. We didn't get a jug of water like all the other tables, so we had to keep asking for it. read more

Food here was satisfactory- all gluten free, and lots of vegan options including Just Egg for vegan brunch items which is awesome!! I got a Just Egg omelette which was really tasty + large portion. It didn't match the description exactly- the menu said vegan feta but it was replaced with some other vegan cheese (American/ cheddar) but that was not explained. Also it was more like a Just egg scramble, shaped into an omelette. The mixed greens side could be bigger/ more generous and have some dressing. It was just plain mixed greens, not a side salad. Service was what knocked this review to 3 stars. It took a LONG time for them to even come take our order- over 30 min. We were chatting away so we did not even realize how much time it passed, then we had to try to grab their attention several times just to get our order in. After that, our order took almost an hour (for the whole table). Some of our food came out sooner. From being seated to being served food it took ~90min. At the end of the meal, we asked and they said they were short staffed that day. So all this being said, I want to give them the benefit of the doubt this was just an off day. However, I think this could have been communicated to us- "hey sorry things are taking a little longer than usual etc". We were pretty much just ignored until we asked to be served, followed up on our items etc. I'm just sharing my experience- it may not be like this all the time, if/when fully staffed. Also nothing this was ~1.30pm on a Friday afternoon, so kinda off peak hours. The restaurant was fairly empty. The decor of the restaurant is very cute- kinda what you would expect from an Upper West Side brunchy place- clean/modern, plants as decor. I'll be willing to return one more time to see if the service has improved. Overall I appreciate their efforts for a vegan-friendly and gluten-free restaurant. read more

Thyme & Tonic - Just egg omelette - Cocktail Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Overall I love the concept of this restaurant. If you eat gluten free, vegan, or even pescatarian, you're in luck. The restaurant has a LOT of potential and I hope it continues to improve over time. It's on the pricier side. The appetizers were both good, my favorite was the dumpling dish by far -- it's not often you get to eat dumplings on a gluten free diet. The chili oil and garnishes were deliciously soaked into the highly realistic dumpling wrappers. The rice paper Vietnamese roles were just OK, the presentation felt rushed and they weren't wrapped very well. For a main dish I had the pesto bowl with fusilli. Honestly the dish was super disappointing. I love pesto and I love pasta but it was a green sauce, a sprinkling of vegan Parmesan cheese and that was it. No other garnishing, no additional elements or texture at all. While it tasted fine, this could have been something even more delicious with a bit more thoughtfulness. The drink menu is expansive and the drinks are wonderful. Service is hit or miss, definitely some potential for improvement there too. read more

I have not one negative thing to say about this place. Yes, it's a vegan and gluten free menu. Yes, you would never know the difference. However, it's really cool that they DO offer non-vegan eggs and salmon for non-vegan eaters. The spot is gorgeous, indoor and outdoor seating. It's all pink and bubbly, flowers everywhere. Playlist was on brand too. The quality of everything we ordered was ridiculously good. Definitely order the fried chikin and the coconut pancakes! Our server was a gem, very attentive and recommended amazing apps/drinks for us. My favorite liquor is Gin... hence the "tonic"...most of their cocktails were all curated with that particular spirit, although they do have other options. Both the "Blue Lavender" and "Kiss me goodnight" were delicious. It was my sisters birthday and when I told the server they brought out the best chocolate moose cake with a HUGE sparkler candle - he even asked me her name so the staff could sing her the birthday song (without skipping the name part of the song) It's the details like that...make a big difference. We will definitely be back! read more

We stopped here for a gluten-free dinner while visiting from Southern California, based on recommendations from Facebook groups. The dinner was such a treat from start to finish. We had pretzel wrapped hot dogs, popcorn chicken and rib eye skewers for appetizers, steak frites Singapore noodles, eggplant schnitz, squash, onion rings and fries for dinner, and churros for dessert. All delicious, hard to pick a standout. Our server was extremely attentive, and some friendly man who looked like maybe the owner came by and checked in. Even the bartender was super gracious when I asked for help finding our way back to hotel. The place an upscale, modern but also cozy vibe. A great experience. read more

I'd been excited about this place for years and finally got to try out "Prime Thyme." With the exception of the GF veggie dumplings, the food is both unremarkable and overpriced. I could forgive that if I hadn't left the place feeling like I'd been glutened. My physical reaction leaves me to assume that some if not all of the menu items include some form of wheat starch -- I checked the website but there's no info on this. Regardless, I won't be dining here again. read more

Place looks really cute for outdoor seating! Lots of florals and PINK. Service is great; there are servers in training but they are super friendly and nice.

The whole place looks and feels like you are at a second rate diner in a trailor park . DO not recommend read more

Kept seeing this place pop up on Insta. Never on UWS, but decided to finally give it try and ordered delivery. As someone with celiac disease, fries is big deal. Theirs were incredibly soggy. They came in a brown paper bag. Hot fries + closed brown bag = tons of steam = soggy fries. The "Nashville Hot" chicken sandwich was way too spicy- although I get that's a matter of personal preference. Why I won't order from them again is their outrageous prices. Seriously $31 for a chicken sandwich is BS. Finding a dedicated gluten-free restaurant is great and yeah, I'll pay more - but don't rip me off. read more

All members of my party had awful food poisoning after eating here. Throwing up, the works. Terrible fevers too. Avoid at all costs.

My friends and I came here for a birthday brunch, and the place is accommodating to big parties. Nothing was super overpriced if we're talking Manhattan pricing. I wasn't blown away by the food and I left still kind of hungry, which is why I gave 4 stars. If you're looking for a solid vegan-friendly restaurant, come here for their brunch! One other disappointing thing was how almost all their options were soy-based; I'm allergic to soy, so that eliminated almost all the options for me and with so many plant-based proteins out there I was hoping they would have something non-soy based, but alas. FOOD: Vegan lox (5/5) - I've personally never seen vegan lox and this one was made of carrots. It definitely didn't taste like salmon but I really liked the smoky flavor they gave to the carrot. I was impressed! Giant latke (3/5) - nothing special, and in terms of sustenance there wasn't quite enough food to really satisfy. Bravas omelette (3.5/5) - the salsas were delicious and definitely stole the show on this one. The omelette itself was underwhelming, as it was just patatas wrapped in egg. The bread was also good though. read more

I would like to thank the owners of Thyme and Tonic and modern bread and bagel! They have single-handedly changed the landscape of delicious dining. First and foremost it's amazing kosher gluten free healthy and you would never know. I am able to eat things I haven't eaten in 10 years. The restaurant ambience is terrific too! You don't have to worry about bringing business people there or family who don't have allergies . You will want to eat everything on the menu . Try the Guacamole and plantains, Frank in The Blanket, soft pretzels, churros, delicious burgers, #vegan burgers salad options with or without schnitzel. Pastrami, brisket and cornbread, and coleslaw, rib skewers. All #glutenfree %dairyfree. Best of all it's closed on #Shabbat read more

So this restaurant marks one of the rare times that the food looked so good that my phone did not eat first lol ! We stopped here because of how close it is to the museum. There definitely are a lot of tourists, so be prepared for a lot of bulky bags. Luckily we were able to be seated right away and the waitress was super friendly and attentive, which is (obviously) not super common in touristy areas. My boyfriend did not realize it was mainly plant based, but luckily the the waitress made sure that we knew before we ordered. This actually completely changed his order as he thought the chick'n sandwich would actually be chicken. I, of course, studied the Yelp page on the ride over and saw a bunch of great reviews on the Chick'n Sandwich so I ordered it anyway. He took a bite and said he was happy the waitress told him but I really enjoyed it, even as someone who often eats chicken. He got the coconut pancakes and really enjoyed them. We ordered the specialty drinks of the day, which were delicious and should be on the summer menu. The waitress could not have been more friendly. I'd definitely want to come back with some friends for a low-key brunch! read more

Well I was truly looking forward to going to this restaurant for a long time it was highly recommended by several friends. Its also gluten free with fish and numerous vegetarian meals for all to enjoy. I started with incredibly yummy squash soup. The flavors were delightful. It had Tahiti sauce added which I felt was very creative and a perfect party in my mouth. My entrée was salmon burger with all the fixings. It was complemented with some fresh salad the avocado which was exceptionally creamy with a tasty aioli sauce. The bread was amazing fresh and warm it went fantastic with the salmon. I had a gluten free beer called blonde is was very refreshing it went perfectly with my food. My hubby started off with off with matzo ball soup. He said it was good however a bit salty. He went to have fish tacos he stated it was delish. The fish was tender with excellent seasoning along with a substantial taco shell. He had a cocktail call love potion, he expressed it was a fabulous drink. The restaurant did not offer any desserts so that would be my recommendation to them. The service was good everybody was following Covid 19 protocols which made us feel very comfortable eating in this establishment. read more

Was surprised by the $30 cancellation fee, you really don't see that level of greed on a Wednesday afternoon, even in manhattan restaurants. It was no problem as we got to our reservation on time. We wish we hadn't. The food was subpar at best. $17 for 2 fish tacos that left me leaving hungry. $27 for my sister's chicken Caesar salad with what I can only assume is prepackaged dressing and dry chicken. She said it was "meh." The bathrooms were gross, and the host was loudly watching Instagram reels on his phone at the front. Not to mention, to get the bathroom, you had to walk next to haphazardly stored breads and bagels--concerningly close to the bathrooms. Our waiter was nice but pretty inattentive for such an empty restaurant. If I had known the prices, not to mention the amount of Israeli imports they had, I would've never gone. Live and learn. read more

I went this past weekend for brunch and had a great experience! They had a bottomless option that was $40 for any entree + bottomless mimosas. The food was great across the board at our table, the coconut pancakes in particular were amazing. Like one of the best pancakes I've ever had and I don't often eat gluten-free versions of foods. The giant latke was good, and I really liked the fact that any menu item could be made vegan. Even among the omnivores in our group, everyone was happy with their dishes. The mimosas were flowing, and we definitely got more than the 90 minutes stated in the fine print. Our server was also very kind and attentive - I have no complaints about my experience here! read more

Thyme & Tonic - Brunch - coconut pancakes, bravas omelette, rise & shine burger - Cocktail Bars Near Me - New York, New York

I was really excited to try Thyme and Tonic because it's gluten free and has a lot of vegetarian options. It did a good job on some things but failed to deliver on others. The price is up there so the experience overall fell a little short on my expectations. I had the dumplings as an appetizer and the Diablo burger as an entree with sweet potato wedges. The dumplings were pretty good and I recommend them. As for the entree, despite the name of the burger (Diablo) it didn't have any kick to it and you couldn't really taste any jalapeños. The bun and burger in general were quite dry and the flavor was lacking, it really was pretty bland overall. The sweet potato wedges are very mushy and have absolutely no crisp to them at all, so they don't really pair well with a burger (or with anything I can think of). Maybe I just ordered the wrong things but for the price I was really expecting something much better than I received. The drinks and appetizers were pretty good though. read more

Honestly severely overpriced even for NYC. We got trapped by the adorable outside seating and setting and did not realize it was mostly a vegan place with some actual fish (which doesn't make sense). This is also gluten free. I got a $17 of what I thought would be avocado toast with smoked salmon. Turned out to be on a bagel which is fine and I was happy that it was actual salmon and not their vegan lox. Why anyone would pay the exact same price for fake fish is beyond me... Now I know NYC is pricey, I expect it but save your money and go to the super popular deli next door, Modern Bread and Bagel, and get a much better bagel but for $13 instead. And the hubby could get another delicious egg bacon bagel for less or equal price of his omelet. The coffees were quite unpleasant aka not good.... Obviously we are not their target audience. So if you're either a pescaterian or a vegan ok with fish being OK to eat and you like to really overpay for ok food, then you'll enjoy this place. Otherwise skip and go next door and eat at the park. read more

If you're vegan or vegetarian, you're sure to have plenty of options here! Although I'm neither, I think it's great that those options exist. Unfortunately, my experience with the food was not a total slam dunk. First of all, their outdoor seating decor is lovely and fun, adorned with faux pink flowers all over. Service was also great - our waitress was kind and attentive and when we ordered a dish that was far from what we had expected, the manager was so understanding. As for what we actually ordered: Latke Tots - I love latke so these latke in the form of warm and delicious tots was an instant winner, complete with apple sauce and sour cream dips! Brunch Bruschetta - This one was a miss in that it was not at all what I would have expected. Usually bruchetta includes diced tomatoes on top of bread. This was more so a deconstructed version because it was just toasted bread with a few cherry tomatoes on the plate, drizzled with balsamic and a few pieces of sliced, hard cheese. Everything about the dish was dry and unexpected, so it's best that if you order you're aware of how this is remixed from what you might be most familiar with. Cheddar Scramble with Vegan Sausage - This was much better than my original entree. In terms of portion, this will definitely fill you up served with a hearty amount of home fries egg and vegan sausage. Flavor wise, all pretty standard but satisfying! Overall, the service was outstanding and we were very appreciative of the staff. As for the food, my sister was in heaven with all of the vegan options but for me the food alone wouldn't probably have me coming back. read more

Chicken and waffles was the best thing we ordered but still not great. I think I was just starving at that point because the kitchen takes FOREVER. The quesadillas are bland and salad was under dressed. They don't assign you a waiter so everyone is there to help serve you which gives everyone an excuse to ignore you. No one came over to us, each time we needed something we had to flag someone down. read more

Made a reservation for 1:30 pm. Showed up at 1:34 and was advised kitchen closed early today. They informed us since we didn't get there early and order by 1:30, the kitchen closed and we were out of luck. How can you possibly order by 1:30 if your reservation is literally at 1:30?! They responded with "well if you got here at 1:30, we would give you 3 minutes to order". Again, how is that possible?? Do not waste your time at this restaurant. Staff did not care at all. After reading reviews, apparently we are not the first being treated badly. read more

Phenomenal as always. The best gluten-free restaurant I've ever been to. Service is five stars and the ambience is incredible.

I swear when we got our 1st drink thought we would absolutely love this place, & we were, until we realized that no-one had come to our end of the bar for almost 45 mins to idk... maybe ask if we were ok , maybe wanted to order something . I can not stand when I go to places and the staff dampers the service . We decided to sit at the bar because we noticed the place was empty for the most part and we wanted to sit close to a bar tender , I came for one thing and one thing only, to drink . However, after having to wait so long for a-little service (I wanted some zucchini fries) I was turned off .... UNTIL I got back to sipping my drink rightfully called "penicillin" After a couple of those I forgot whats his names disappointing service and mediocre SUMMER rolls, NOT SPRING ROLLS (at least warm up the quinoa ) The drinks were everything though guys .
