Reviews of Modern Love Brooklyn

Contemporary spot for non-meat eaters and the like. The staff is inviting and the dining room is cozy. There is a bar with dietary restrictions in mind for selections. The Kale Caesar salad was good, except for the mushroom bacon. That was over seasoned and salted down. I added a chick pea patty and it did not take it to the next level. The mushroom calamari was good, better if it’s cut up in smaller pieces. The fries were awesome, just too many for a side at $12. The Mushroom fried chik’n was good as usual. I recommend the hibiscus iced tea for a beverage. The strawberry lemonade has a kick and less balance. The passion fruit margarita was all about saltiness unfortunately. I’ll be back!

What an absolutely incredible experience! Hands down a personal favorite of mine forever more. My friend and I split three different dishes plus a milkshake and were thoroughly impressed by all of it! The atmosphere is super relaxing, food is impeccable! Special shout out to our server Chi for being such a pleasure to be around! Some of the best service I've ever had! Can't go wrong at all in this place. Thanks for a great time! 🖤🖤🖤

I've gone about a dozen times in 3 years. Ever single time it's wonderful. No exaggeration. This is my favorite restaurant in NYC. Great service, amazing food and a fantastic place for vegans and non vegans. The menu is so extensive and everything is phenomenal and has great value. I take non vegans here all the time and they always want to come back on their own because they fall in love with it. The menu is always changing and they nail every dish they do. The desserts are so on point as well. I could eat here once a week for the rest of my life and not get tired of it.

Honestly, it’s an amazing place! A gem in Brooklyn. Love the outdoors space and the quality of food. I am not a vegetarian at the very moment (taking a break) but went there because of my vegan friend and enjoyed the meal so much! Made me want to get a cook book of the owner and do more vegan meals at least sometimes. Highly recommend

Loved this place for a nice brunch! Their fried mozzarella was so creamy and flavorful. I was pleasantly surprised by the seitan garlic parmesan wings, but did miss the classic celery and carrots on the side. I also ordered the crunch wrap which was delicious! The breakfast potatoes had a wonderful dry rub that wasn’t overpowering at all, and the crunch wrap filling was awesome. My partner ordered the seitan and waffles, which came with flavored butter and fruits. The seitan and waffles were a little over cooked, but if you enjoy a nice crispy bite, then you’ll love it. I’m excited to come back and try some of their other things!

Amazing dining experience! Got the acorn squash curry which was incredibly flavorful. The candied pecans were so good in it. Got a tiramisu for dessert which was so rich and delicious. The hibiscus tea is great unsweetened as it has a natural sweetness. Also want to give a huge shout out to our server! They were incredible and checked up on us multiple times. They made sure we always had plenty of water. Our food came out fast as well. Come check them out next time you want an incredible dining experience.

Best vegan restaurant in New York so far! We where a group of 20 people and the staff has been outstanding. We tried a bit of everything and everything was just so good. Crispy oyster mushroom wings, nachos with vegan cheese, fresh greens, patties, walnut burgers and more. Very impressed, fully in love with their menu!

After a long day hiking and being stuck in NYC traffic for 3+ hours, Modern Love delivered. Every single dish was absolutely delicious, from the appetizers to the entrees to the desserts, it was a hit out of the park. And, to top it all off, the service was phenomenal, everyone was so friendly. Have been thinking about this place ever since. 😶‍🌫️

Modern Love was recommended to me by a friend and I can say without hesitation I would pass on the recommendation. Truly the pinnacle of vegan dining that Brooklyn has to offer. The staff was helpful, attentive and knowledgeable and that helped especially if one isn’t too familiar with vegan fair. We attended with a group of 6 and all 6 were very satisfied with food, service and decor. It was a warm space, inviting and inclusive, the sort of restaurant you’d sneak back to during the week. The plates had enough food for two to share—if so desired. More seasoned guests in our group elected to eat desert first, a foreign concept for sure, but by the end of our meal we understood well that our stomachs may have burst if we elected to enjoy the delicious deserts our fellow patrons ordered along with our appetizers. Bravo, will definitely return.

Really terrific vegan food. So tasty. We had acorn squash curry and a mushroom burger. It was all super fresh and beautifully presented, and generous portions. Staff are friendly and reasonably attentive. Atmosphere inside was quite nice, but there were no tables, so we sat outside, which was ok (tables & chairs somewhat rickety). Next time, we will reserve, as in, we will be back. Thanks for feeding us so well.

The food is outstanding every single time I visit. The nachos are non-negotiable.. must order every single time. Garlic parmesan cauliflower wings are amazing. Kiara was a pleasure to dine with. She was attentive, kind, friendly, and genuine which made the experience even more enjoyable than usual. Always leave wanting to return and this time was no different! Highly highly recommend :)

I celebrated my birthday here with my mom and this place did not dissappoint! 1. This restaurant clearly shows women empowerment. This was amazing for me to see 1st hand since I read about this in the other comments. The staff were exceptional and if you don't leave a tip, something is wrong with you. 2. I already knew what I wanted before we got seated. - The oyster mushroom was delicious. It had the right crispness and I was not expecting the calamari to be placed on top of some greens! My mom and I enjoyed it. - The berry lemonade was refreshing, but it was sour to my liking. I maybe just did not mix the drink well enough. - The shakes were on point! So you could say we had dessert before our food was ordered. The strawberry shortcake my mom devoured. I had the brownie, but I did not like it as much since it was too hard for my liking. (Hence the 4 stars) The ice cream complimented it though! - The Strawberry Salad was amazing! The dressing is a must! I ordered extra dressing. I was so full after! My mom ate the Mac and cheese, and she enjoyed it as well. The only thing, the cauliflowers were humongous. Maybe cut them in bite sized pieces next time. The atmosphere had a chill vibe. I am glad we came early since the place got busy around 8. Overall, I want to come here next time and order something different! (I may or may not get the strawberry salad).

We found this vegan restaurant after heading to a club nearby and decided to try this place. I really liked the aesthetic of this place. The lighting was perfect for the vibe and feel of the items on the menu and how they were presented under the lighting. The kitchen area was tucked away from the restaurant which was perfect to me allowing for a nice flow of open space from the entrance to the dining area. The food left much to be desired from me though in terms of flavor, however the presentation was impeccable. I had the Modern Cheeseburger, a vegan cheese burger and also tried the pumpkin spice icecream. The burger was too big to me - I like a more medium sized burger and it reminded me of a real meat burger which turned me off to be honest 😅 The icecream was a little bit too thick so it was kinda hard for me to enjoy the flavor. You could tell it was gourmet and probably made from scratch. I tried the Mac and Shews which is a vegan pasta in cashew sauce - and I regret not getting it, it’s probably my favorite thing on the menu and I really want to try it again. The restaurant server was also well mannered and polite and worked efficiently to get our orders out in a decent amount of time. The business is mostly staffed by women and seems woman-owned - if so, it gets a tick in my box as a possible minority owned business. I recommend this place for dates or a date out with friends who love vegan food.

Great portion, great quality food. Our waiter was excellent and attentive of our needs. The max and cheese can be a bit too salty so if you’re sodium sensitive be aware. Cauliflower wings were delicious and the setain chimichurri was also very good. Can never go wrong with Caribbean style vegan food honestly.
