"As always, we were treated very well and we were given a window table, as requested, where we saw a beautiful moon rising over the Manhattan skyline. it was a great evening and the food was delicious. My husband always goes for the short ribs. I stick with a fish special. our daugher and her friend had steak and lamb chops. All were extremely pleased."

"The Highlawn Pavilion is our favorite place to eat. It is also our only place for weddings. Both of our daughters had their wedding receptions at the Highlawn and they were wonderful. All of the guests were impressed with the view, the food and the service. The Highlawn is a wonderful place to visit no matter what the occasion."

"My girlfriend and I enjoyed the experience a lot. Only drawback was the limited dinner menu selections. Menus could have been more varied. All in all we will be back again, probably to try the brunch during the day."
