It's a lovely brunch place with an outside seating option. It's BYOB, so bring your homemade mimosas. The service is friendly, and the food is good. Sometimes, I wish there were specials, especially for brunch. Presentation of the food is basic, so don't expect a wow factor. Overall i highly recommend it.

Washington Square

About the restaurant

Behind the wrought iron gate, past the herbaceous patio and through the atrium is Talula's Garden, the warm and elegant Washington Square eatery from Aimee Olexy and Starr Restaurants. The modern menu, prepared with carefully-sourced ingredients and a light European touch, changes with the seasons. The artful cuisine, hospitable staff, sustainable spirits, and a focus on cheese make the dining experience here incredibly memorable.

We had a lovely experience. We have someone in an electric wheelchair. The restaurant is very accessible. The food was delicious. The radicchio salad was wonderful. I’m not a fan of croutons but the panko crumbs were perfect. I had the gnocchi in pomodoro delicious. The gnocchi was light and fluffy. Melted in my mouth! The other guests had the ricotta ravioli also delicious. The gelato is so tasty. Overall a great place and reasonably priced!

Busy when we arrived a tad after 7. We were seated in 5 min. Place was hopping for a Wed, but it started to empty out. We love coming here. BBQ chicken was moist, tender, I had the Cajun salmon, good as usual. We splurged on dessert and I ordered a salad for today's lunch...which I just ate (strawberry/shrimp). Wait staff always does well for us. We feel like this place and staff are friends. Thanks for many years of great service and more to come! *****
