Reviews for Tavern On the Green in New York, NY

Visited NYC for a birthday celebration and swung by Tavern On The Green for a Sunday brunch. The experience overall was... excellent. Service was good, but a little slow. The seated us way in the back, essentially outside the main restaurant. Likely because we were 30 mins early for our reservation. The food was good, but not great. You really go for the experienceas opposed to looking for an exceptional dining experience. My favorite thing was probably the biscuits and gravy! Read more

My husband ordered the rack of lamb and I got the short ribs. We went for an anniversary trip and it was such a memorable... experience. The waiter gave us some great recommendations for drinks and desserts. The dining experience is exceptional eatingthere. Dessert though is incredible ???? Read more

It was absolutely lovely. Our appetizers were the Hickory salad and the crab cake. Our entrees were the beef bourguignon, the... lamb and the cod. Of the three, choose the cod. They do a clam chowder pour over that is amazing. The lamb was alsoexceptional. Dessert was a cheesecake and a piece of birthday cake. I would suggest the birthday cake. The frosting is verydifferent than what it I thought it would be. It was light and absolutely perfect. The staff we’re all very nice andsometimes I had a hard time understanding what my server was saying because of his heavy accent but I would definitely recommendthis to anyone visiting New York.

This place is really nice. A lot seating indoor and outdoor available. The food and service is is great. We had the cod and... ravioli and both were delicious. They also offer a lot of nice cocktails, wine and beer options . When we went they also hadlive music. Read more

This is one of the restaurants people would call, overrated. A famous location, a fantastic building, decorations and staff. But... other than that, not much to show for. Among a group of 3, we had ordered 2 grilled chicken salads, and a chicken schnitzel. Thechicken salads were dry, severely undressed, and thus without much taste. The chicken itself was somehow chewy, and ratherbland, like it had not been marinated properly. The schnitzel was served without lemon, was dry and unseasoned prior to frying.The side salad was just, rabbit food, if there was any honey mustard, there was far too little of it. Personally I raterestaurants mostly based on food, though the staff has been a true pleasure to be around. Quick, witty and elegant with breakingcustomer-server bounds, I had truly enjoyed their company. My kind regards to Cameron, who had been a fantastic server. I hopethe Tavern reevaluates their menu.

No surprise this was a 5 star experience. We loved the ambiance and the food - service was great! Would recommend making... reservations well in advanced to get your desired date/time. Make sure to visit the perfectly curated gift shop on your way out. Read more

Lovely restaurant with a nice atmosphere. The food is very fancy (and a little expensive). Our waiter Nikolai did a great job... and was more than accommodating. The only downer was the early close of the outdoor area (which I can understand as it was alittle cold), because it becomes really beautiful in the dark with the beautiful lightings. Read more

We planned our lunch a few months in advance so we were able to get a table without any issues. It was a bit of a cold day but... the way they are setup with a glass patio we basically felt like we were outdoors even though we were indoors. We ordered thespecial of the day - basically a shrimp salad and I ordered the fish and chips. My daughter ordered the peas and pasta dish andmy younger daughter got chicken fingers. Everyone was happy with their meals - but we all agreed that the second best thing onthe table were the fries from my fish and chips :) For dessert we ordered the Warm Chocolate Peanut Butter Lava Cake and thespecial of the day which was a pistachio dessert that was wonderful. Overall - this is a wonderful place for a lunch while inCentral Park on your trip to NYC! Read more
