Vega, New York

Reviewed yesterday

★★★☆☆
Great mains, pity about the chips
Came for lunch with my sister. We loved our Thai-style mains which were
amazing with lots of flavour, very impressive for a vegetarian restaurant.
But the service was below average, and the chips were too terrible to finish.
When we arrived at 1:40, we had to wait 20 minutes while they got our table ready. OK,
so we didn’t have a reservation, but the restaurant was only half full. There was no
reason to make us wait at all.
We ordered the chips as a side dish and they looked delicious. But, when we tasted
them, they were overcooked and swimming in oil so we left most of them. We expected
a lot more for $10!
When the waiter asked if everything was OK, we said we really didn’t like the chips and
he said ‘That’s funny, I love them’ and that was it. He didn’t offer us anything else or
take them off our bill. Also, when we didn’t leave a tip, he looked annoyed.
I was really excited about visiting Vega, and the mains were just fantastic, but the rest
of the experience was really disappointing.
