   I wouldn't really know how that Pavillion is, because even though the restaurant accepted my reservation in Opentable for a dinner on 21 October, and even sent me a reminder on the morning on the 21st, we arrived in the evening to find out that the place had closed for the season on 15 October.

   I showed up and it was shut down for the season. Extremely disappointed that OpenTable did not know it was closed and had allowed me to book through them. Was very embarrassing to arrive with my out of town clients to find no sign of a restaurant.

   I arrived a few minutes early for my 2pm Sunday reservation (my party had already arrived and was seated) only to be greeted by two lackluster individuals who were guarding the front entrance and seemed that they didn't want me to enter the restaurant as they were perplexed that I had a 2pm reservation?? To make matters worse, 5 minutes after being seated, I was told that the kitchen was closing in 5 minutes and we needed to put in our orders now (please note, on Open Table, the last reservation listed was at 3:30pm!). We were told this was their last day of operation. Regardless, if the kitchen was closing in 5 minutes, then why did they have an option for a 2pm reservation!! It gets worse... the wait staff took away our salt/pepper shakers as well as sugar bowl and we hadn't had our meal served to us yet!! There were other filled tables where their food was in the process of being served or were waiting for their meals and their condiments were still on the table!!?? Once we were served, never once did our waiter come by to ask how our meal was or how we were doing. I was really excited to try to restaurant but they greatly disappointed me. I might give them a 2nd chance next Spring when they re-open but it would take a lot for me to reconsider.

   Toilet were very dirty, the waiter didn’t know the menu. Bad service, they made two mistakes. Food was ok, not worth the price. I liked the fact that it’s an outside dining but there was a bad smell. Sorry but I cannot really recommend it.

   The restaurant was very underwhelming. I was excited to try it out, but the food selection was limited, and the flavoring was off. I ordered mussels and supposedly garlic fries. The fries were regular steak cut fries, half of the mussels were closed, and limited amount of broth, so it was dry. My friend had the maple glaze chicken, they had the sauce on the side. I would definitely not come back, nor recommend this place to anyone I know.

   I was really disappointed in the whole experience. The food was awful, the service was worse and the restaurant wasn't near full. Also we were seated at tables inside the building and two of us, who wore dresses, were bitten ferociously by either fleas or bedbugs. It was horrible. Will never eat here again.

   Great outdoor dinning without the traffic BUT, be prepared for minimal service. This place always struggles to provide good service. I like to go for lunch on days with the farmers market and watch the people while I wait...and wait.

   I had great casual lunch & dinners Here from Mother's Day thru aug But end of season , they were limited to 3 kinds of cocktails , and half the menu Not available , such as oysters & lobster rolls Our waiter did not mention all what was Out until taking our orders, big group of 8 So wasted a lot of time . I will chalk it up To last week of season though.

   Great spot! In the middle of the action in Union Square yet tucked away in the corner so it's quiet. The food was delicious

    The service was not good. They kept making mistakes with our order and didn't seem to understand what we wanted. Very disappointed with the restaurant.
