Will please all!

by SinNYC

This is one of the only "natural" restaurants that can please vegetarians as well as people who aren't. Most restaurants that offer vegetarian or "natural" food often leave meat-eaters unsatisfied. This place, however, will please all.

FILTHY KITCHEN, DOWN THE DRAIN

by Kurmudgeon

I used to go to this restaurant years ago and it was fabulous. The food was fresh, tasty, and you could go with both veggie and meat eaters. I had the bad idea recently to bring my family to celebrate my mom's birthday, and we basically ordered everything in the menu. BAD IDEA!!!! The food is so badly prepared these days that even the nachos were awful. The dishes have not been adjusted since the early nineties, and have absolutely no balance and poor seasoning. It is as if they process every dish to remove any vestige of flavor. To boot, if you have the bad idea of looking into the kitchen, you'll see grime everywhere. I have been in plenty of developing world places that would make yoru skin crawl, and this one is just as bad. DIsgusting! To add insult to injury, the prices are way out of line for the flavorless cuisine they serve, and they don't have anywhere to change a child's diaper. I had to go into the dsigustingly filthy women's bathroom and put my son on a atrociously dirty 24" long table that was even filthier than the kitchen. With such nicer joints all around, I can't even imagine why they have stayed in business.

Great for vegetarians & their carnivore friends

by AVR , Citysearch Contributor

Not sure where to dine with your vegetarian & organic friends? Head over to Spring Street Natural. Their menu has a selection that will please everyone. This extends to their beverage menu. A nice selection of wines to pair with your organic (or non) meal. Even better - they offer a good selection of beers on tap. Including Peak Organic.

This a great little spot to get away from the throngs shopping along Spring and sit at the bar for a quick bite or drink as well.

Thoughtful and helpful staff as well. This winter my infant niece lost a shoe, when I called, and went back to retrieve it, they went out of their way to ensure we got it back.

Put this one on your list.

  • Pros: Vast menu

Reasonable, Healthy and Tasty food

by mporto

The atmosphere is friendly and the service is excellent, whether you are at the bar or at a table. Have tried their Chile Relleno, no meat, shitake mushrooms and deep fried in a light tempura type of batter. There Ceasar Salad with grilled calamari is a must. The calamari are well seasoned and crunchy. Don't pass on the spring rolls either and keep an eye on the specials. You will always get a good recommendation for a wine. Mind you that the suggestion does not point at the most expensive libation. If you are in the mood for dessert, well, the carrot cake is unique. Sweet but not overwhelmingly so. You can taste the carrots and indulge in the orange and chocolate syrup that spark the plate. If in the hood, Spring Street Natural is your hangout!!!!!

  • Pros: Great food, great recipies and great service
  • Cons: A bit out of the way for me

by cmeltz

what I love about this place is it's tasty, thoughtful and a good value. It also has something for everyone. I can bring my vegan buddies with me and can have their hanger steak that I crave.
