The Little Beet Table

Cute little small place with a few wooden tables and tables for 4 surrounding.
My friend and I were seated across each other at the long table and we had to scream at each other — it was definitely hard to have a conversation.
The server suggested around 5 plates to share so we ordered the crispy sushi rice with added egg, cauliflower hummus, chicken salad, tender shrimp with chickpeas and the cod.
The shrimp and cod were too lightly seasoned for my liking, and although the shrimp was light, it had a spicy kick which I wasn’t a fan of.
The best dishes were definitely the crisply sushi rice and cauliflower hummus. Those two dishes really saved the night.
We also ordered bourbon which we later found out is a 1 $ surcharge on the rocks.

Fine dining prices for chain restaurant quality: all my food seemed heavily salted and did not taste fresh. Sort of like an Olive Garden kind of experience. Waitress was warm and friendly until I mentioned the salt issue, then she became very cool and avoided eye contact as if the chef was her brother. I definitely had diner’s remorse after my first bite. But I’m just one person, so take it with a jar of salt.

It was amazing the food was delicious and very fresh and the service was amazing super friendly and helpful I actually can’t wait to go back it is a totally gluten free place so if u need that for your diet I recommend it %100

Arrived here after a FinTech event and found someone else from the event which was also on his own and moved based on Unilocal review too, it certainly made the whole experience more enjoyable. Still, I could not really figure out how the menu is structured so I went for the Grass Fed burger which comes with a couple fries. I wondered if it would be big enough with no sides, it definitely it. Is is also very tasty and the sauce that comes along is a nice plus. It was pretty crowded so I had to sit at the bar but the experience was still really enjoyable as the staff was really helpful and efficient. I also got an espresso which did not disappoint (except for the price maybe, but, well). Good experience still.

This is a very interesting place. From the name, I thought everything would be involving beets. Turned out I was wrong. I heard this place could get very crowded around lunch time. So I stopped by around 11:45AM and it was pretty empty.
I had the grass fed burger, which was so good! Perfectly cooked.

Love this place! Everything is gluten-​free, amazing!!!
And it’s delicious, great atmosphere, friendly, great dishes! Very recommended!

Very cute inside! Came here on a weeknight and had made a reservation, but it wasn’t really necessary. Definitely farm-​to-​table kind of place, but without being obnoxious about it. Definitely tough to pick from all the options but everything we had was great. Very cute for a date night with the beau or a gal pal.

Have been to The Little Beet Table several times for lunch and dinner, usually get the burger which is pretty delicious and SO filling, and there’s some sort of special sauce that makes it even more delicious. I would rather have french fried or something else other than the few whole fingerling potatoes they give you.
I’m also pretty sure I’ve had a mushroom flatbread here the first time I came but they don’t seem to have that on the menu anymore.
The meal that you REALLY have to come here for is BRUNCH.
Came here just yesterday for brunch and my boyfriend and I split the following:
–Jalapeño cheddar cornbread, baked in a mini cast iron skillet. They put a pad of butter on top but it wasn’t enough because the cornbread was a little dry so we asked for more butter. This was delicious, but would be over the top if it wasn’t so crumbly.
–Ricotta pancakes are to die for. It doesn’t feel all heavy and cakey like traditional pancakes, they are amazingly delicious and I will definitely be back for these. This was the winning plate hands down for my boyfriend and me.
–Smoke salmon scramble was also pretty delicious, the portion is also pretty tiny but it was a great addition to the killer pancakes.
–Fresh squeezes orange juice, my boyfriend had two glasses.
The timing of our food was a little off, we received our appetizer just in time but we were left waiting for a good 20 minutes ro so after we were finished with our cornbread before our meals came out.
Also everything is gluten free so you don’t have to even think about analyzing the menu before ordering for those celiac/​gluten sensitive people!

The little beet needs to get a little better.
I wasn’t blown away. Honestly I felt the portion was a little small and flavors were lacking a bit and my food was a little thrown together in a rushed manor. For the price, I expected more. The staff could have been friendlier too.

***Vegetarian friendly, Great service and seating***
I came here for dinner on a weekday. The service was great and we were seated at the bar, due to lack of seating. However, the bartender was very attentive the entire time. We ordered all vegetarian dishes and they were very delicious and filling. I would definitely recommend and come back here again!

This place is super sweet. If you love vegetables and fresh wholesome meals in a cosy, quieter environment with friendly service and a relaxed space, you’ll love it here. Service and meals were quick but not rushed.
The menu has plenty of options, including vegan selections, some meat options, although vegetable options are definite the feature here — it lives up to its name!
You can sit at the bar, dine at a friendly communal table or reserve a table.
Hanging plants, warm pendant lighting and cozy candles complement the comfy atmosphere.
I’ll definitely be back.

After a night that wasn’t turning out too well, having dinner at The Little Beet Table was a great decision.
We had reservations for 8:30PM. When we walked in, the Maitre D’ told us that two tables were finishing up and it would be approx a 10 minute wait. That annoys me. If you’re going to allow us to make reservations for a certain time, please make sure there’s a table ready. It always dampers the mood. He offered us to go to the bar and order drinks, but the bar was full so that was pointless.
While waiting I took a look at the décor and vibe. I love the art work on the wall and the dimly lit room. It has a romantic yet casual vibe, making it feel like you’re not pressured to be uptight. I peeked into the kitchen. One of the cleanest kitchens I’ve ever come across at face value. Total pleasure.
13 minutes later, we were finally seated. Lucky for us, they gave us a quiet corner table. We did notice throughout our meal (2 hours) that the 4 table near us was empty the entire time. I’m sure they could have split that and sat us down right away. Next.
Our waitress came over with menus and took our drinks order right away. She was great. Very attentive and astute. They definitely get a point for refilling our water glasses super fast. We had already glanced at the menu prior to coming to the restaurant so we knew what we wanted. We put our order in and waited.
Our drinks came right away but we waited quite a while for our appetizers. I was unsure why as they were not very complicated dishes but when they did come, Oh god! Those dishes were something else.
If you dine here, you must must get the Seared Tuna! I saw heaven — no jokes. The blood orange and tabbouleh takes it to a whole new level of yum!
We also got the mushroom flatbread as an appetizer but we weren’t crazy over it.
Our mains did come faster than the apps so that was definitely pleasing. We ordered the cauliflower, slow cooked salmon and rigatoni.
The salmon and cauliflower were phenomenal. The cauliflower is also a must get. You have never had such amazing cauliflower with tastes that are out of this world. I loved the tomatoes in the rigatoni. Every bite had so much flavor and zest. It was perfect.
Dessert we ordered the chocolate mousse. Very pleasing and not too heavy.
Overall our dining experience at The Little Beet was top notch and exactly what we needed. Little bumps and bruises can be avoided in future but I definitely recommend this great establishment.

Located on Park Avenue South near restaurants like Hillstone, Upland, and Pippali in Gramercy the restaurant is convenient to the Lexington avenue subway line. There’s plenty of space in side the casual, dim-​lit dining room where the patrons are not sitting elbow to elbow, unless of course, you’re sitting at one of the communal tables. We were glad we had a cozy table for two.
Appetizers and sides are the highlights here. We had the tender shrimp with chickpeas, curried cauliflower, and roasted sweet potatoes. These were seasoned well, the shrimp and chickpeas were delicious and had a bit of pepper in it which made it spicy; the cauliflower was soft and overcooked however the date and prune chutney nicely balanced the curry flavor; the sweet potatoes were one of the highlights of the evening, the skin had a slight crunch from the grill which enhanced the texture. The skirt steak with chimichurri was fine, the sauce was vinegary with freshly chopped ingredients.
The grilled beets had a nice presentation, with Greek yogurt and pumpkin seed almond granola. The plate consisted of one inch cubes of golden and red beets. I took a bite and was surprised at the cold center of the root vegetable — cold as in right out of the refrigerator, definitely colder than room temperature. I was expecting warm «grilled» beets, perhaps the menu could have been more descriptive and clear. Not a bad dish if you’re looking for a salad.
The drinks were pricey, we had the spicy grapefruit margarita, honey orange caipirinha, orange pop, and root beer. $ 14 for a cocktail is standard in this neighborhood and they were just run of the mill here. The natural beverages were $ 6, they weren’t overly sweet and also unmemorable. Our server (Matthew K.) rushed to clear our table and took away a cocktail glass that we were still in the middle of enjoying (there were other empty tables in the room — there wasn’t a need for space). When we brought this to his attention he apologized halfheartedly and said the only thing he can do for us «under the table» is to give us a taste of one of the wines (he asked us to pretend we were studying the chardonnay — we didn’t care to drink the tiny sip he brought to the table.) If he was more careful this hiccup could have been easily avoided.
We’re gluten-​tolerant, maybe there’s something special here that I missed. However $ 150 for a mediocre weeknight dinner for two with poor service is a bit exorbitant. Next time I’ll probably stop by nearby curry hill for cauliflower and chickpeas rather than returning to Little Beet Table.

house made ginger ale: it’s pretty fresh, the ginger was strong, I enjoyed it though.
Grapefruit juice: fresh, it tasted fresh and not sugary.
grilled shrimp salad: I liked the avocado in it. Very good salad.
lbt burger (little beet table, not lettuce bacon tomato): I truly enjoyed this burger and I’d go back to have it again. I liked the potato crunch or the fries that were on the side. They’re like little sprouts, cooked just right. No undercooked bite to it at all.
I’d definitely go back. the LBT burger was great.

2.5 stars. 5 for service/​ambiance. 4 for vegetables. 2 for price. 0 for entrée.
For such a highly rated place in NYC, I had higher expectations. I came here for dinner with a party of four. Service, menu selection, and ambiance were all good. We were seated at our own table, which was fortunate because the restaurant is rather loud and conversation would have been difficult at the communal table. Our server was friendly and attentive, letting us take our time with our ordering.
We started with a round of vegetable appetizers — roasted mushrooms, curry cauliflower, and xo sauce (pork, scallop, and chili) brussel sprouts. The first two BLEW me away — they were delicious! The mushrooms were a good assortment of crimini, oyster, and something else with a perfect earthiness and good amount of seasoning without overpowering the mushrooms themselves. The cauliflower came roasted and served atop a date and prune chutney — I could eat that for days. Brussel sprouts were decent but nothing to write home about.
If we had stopped the meal here, I would have easily rated this place at least 4 stars
Unfortunately, then came the entrees. I ordered the steamed red snapper served atop a butternut squash risotto. Sounds delicious right?
When the dish first arrived, I was surprised at its size — the dish was much smaller than what I would expect for $ 29. No immediate complaints though — I can appreciate quality over quantity. However, when I took a bite of the dish, my optimism faded. The fish was mediocre at best. Meanwhile, the risotto had an odd crunchy texture, as if half the rice hadn’t actually been cooked thouroughly. The dish overall lacked flavor, very underwhelming.
Maybe I just ordered the wrong dish. However, my friend who ordered the LBT burger was also unimpressed. Adding potato chips and bacon was an interesting attempt to make the burger unique, but neither actually added texture as they were no longer crunchy by the time he was eating them. The most interesting part of the dish was the horseradish sauce, but again, at $ 19 a burger, more was expected.
Had this restaurant been somewhere other than NYC, I would be willing to come back and give it another try, maybe just opting for vegetables. But given the wide selection of other foods in NY, I’d recommend trying somewhere else instead.

Great atmosphere and great food-​not much to complain about here. I arrived here without reservations with a party of three around 6:15 on a Saturday night. We took a seat at the bar, which is full service, and despite originally preferring a table the corner of the bar worked perfectly.
Between the three of us we ordered the vegetable crudite and prosciutto flatbread as starters, as well as the curried cauliflower, a few orders of brussels sprouts, and the grilled skirt steak for dinner. Everything was phenomenal! I was expected carrots and celery as crudite, but was instead treated to a selection of fresh-​from-​the-​farm vegetables, some with the roots still on. Beautiful beets, fennel, turnips, and more paired nicely with the mint raita and red pepper hummus. My only complain about that dish was the tiny amount of raita and hummus they give you. My favorite dish was the curried cauliflower with date and prune chutney. The cauliflower was nicely charred and didn’t have an overwhelming curry flavor.
I left the restaurant satisfied but not stuffed, and definitely got in a few servings of vegetables! I’d love to try their brunch sometime, as I hear the banana bread is amazing.

There is something really wonderful on their brunch menu:
Coconut water pure from young coconuts: I’m suspicious about this. The water was pink like those sold in bottles, and it didn’t taste like it came from the coconut.
Banana bread: it’s served with hazelnut butter. I was expecting a slice of bread but it’s an entire loaf warmed. It was so good! The crust is caramelized crispy and the inside is moist. The hazelnut butter is a great complement.
The banana bread was the best I ever had. It’s good enough to get me out of home on a blizzard day. All I wanted was a banana bread, so I braved the storm and went to the restaurant. They were about to close due to the weather, but they let me order a banana bread to go. :D

Really great spot with friendly service.
Had a tapas style dinner with:
Shrimp, chickpeas, and garlic: as it sounds, very good and I would get it again
Grilled Beets: I mean, you have to get beets here, right. This was probably my favorite dish, golden beats with the yogurt sauce was delicious
Salmon: Is one of their signature dishes and it did not dissapoint
Side of sweet potatoes: always delicious (but I’m biased)
Seared Tuna: was my second favorite appetizer here– delicious with the tabouleh and blood orange
My only complaint was there lack of desserts. I think they offered 4 or 5 (1 of which being ice cream…) in fact, I think all the desserts were served wtih a scoop of ice cream which seemed basic… overall I wasnt intrigued by the selection that they had that night. Wouldnt stop me from coming here again though

I didn’t tell my husband and stepdaughter that this restaurant was gluten-​free. My husband is not fond of most gluten-​free bread products. He says they are too dense and make his stomach hurt.
Happily that was not the case at the Little Beet. He especially enjoyed the banana bread.
My stepdaughter’s grits entrée arrived in a cute little cast iron skillet, and she said it was tasty. I loved my scrambled eggs and my cucumber/​gin drink as well. We split a simple fruit tart for dessert. (Not overly sweet — just perfect.)
Service was great too. The staff and restaurant space were warm and inviting. We loved having the extra space which is not typical of a Manhattan restaurant. They also have several large tables — nice for large groups or community dining. The morning we dined there were two large parties (one with the custom veggie menu).
I’m looking forward to going back to try their dinner menu.

Had my birthday lunch here with co-​workers. They picked this place specially because one of the group is gluten-​free, but you’d never guess this is a GF restaurant because the menu is well-​crafted with delicious items that appeal to non-​GFs as well.
Beautiful open, airy, clean space. We couldn’t stop commenting on how much we loved the restaurant’s décor! There were a lot of things on the menu I liked, but I went with the flatiron steak salad, which was grilled steak, tomatoes, arugula, olives, carmelized onions, ricotta salata, and red wine vinaigrette. Delicious! The steak was properly seasoned and tender, the tomatoes were just slightly roasted to bring out their sweetness, and the onions were caramelized perfectly. Also seemed to have just the right amount of dressing. The only thing I didn’t like as much was that the ricotta seemed a bit tasteless, but otherwise it was fine.
As good as that salad was though, I’d definitely skip that next time and get the burger instead. It looked amazing and my co-​worker raved about it.
