This past Saturday, I met my old friend from home, SB, for dinner. She gamely agreed to do vegetarian cuisine, so we made our way towards Counter, a vegetarian/organic restaurant and martini bar in the East Village. I had been to Counter once before, several years ago, right after it opened. There ... Read More

Hmmm. This is a sad day. I LOVE counter. Almost as much as I love herbivore in the mission district and millenium in the tenderloin of SF. They make great drinks, play good music, are kid, gay, lesbian (noone of which apply to me, but whatever) friendly, have a real mixed crowd. The tofu frittata ro... Read More

Counter's got a "trendy restaurant" type of vibe, although it's very low-key and relaxed. The food didn't blow me away, but I did appreciate the creativity. While a bit pricey, it's worth it for the atmosphere and trying something new. Food: Atmosphere: Service: [More ab... Read More

I've found the food at Counter to be hit or miss. The rustic lentil pate sandwich is usually good, but it's inconsistent, and the east side burger just isn't good at all. The polenta fries with aioli are delicious, as are a number of the other appetizers they have. I've never had a dessert item that... Read More

Average Entree is actually $15-$20. Generally speaking, the prices were too high for the quality of food we received. Portions were small. We ordered two seitan dishes, both of which featured very bland, rubbery seitan. Mine was swimming in sauce which enhanced the taste but gave it an uns... Read More

Food: I ordered the East Side Burger -$13 (A blend of wild mushroom p?t?, housemade seitan & fresh herbs served with pommes frites). The burger was absolutely delicious, moist, and full of deep flavor. The onion and tomato slices were way too thick, making it hard to bite through the burger, an... Read More

This was the last trip on a vegan tour of New York that a friend and I planned. It was definitely a good choice for our last hurrah! Although the food is very pricey, it's soooo worth it. The service wasn't terrible, but our server did seem like a bit of a snob. All in all, I will definitely com... Read More

The food and drinks here are awesome, as are the servers and the dimly-lit, fabric-napkined environment. Great for everything from brunch with friends to a romantic evening with a sexy someone. If I wasn't such a broke bastard, I'd eat here more often. Food: Atmosphere: Service: [... Read More

I went with two omni friends for dessert. While it is too pricey to be a place I will go to frequently, the whole experience was quite enjoyable. We shared the chocolate fondue, which was delicious. One person in my party had the creme brulee, and we all tried a bit. We unanimously agreed that i... Read More
