Tavern on the Green

Birthday . We had not been to Tavern on The Green since the renovation, but it was fantastic. I can only imagine how much fun it would be if the weather were nice and we could’ve dined outside again. If you’re going to New York, put this on your list.

Great experience and a must place to eat.

Batter on fish was uncooked and service was begrudging at best.

Made the meal because they presented a cake slice for my partners Birthday.

Had that not happened it would have been a bit of a washout.

We were on a girls weekend trip. The food was amazing. I had the crab cake appetizer and the burger. My girlfriends had the flatbread special of the day and the soup of the day. The cocktails were also amazing !! we will definitely return when we head back to NY.

Wonderful place

We all loved it here! Our waitress was very attentive and everything we ordered was delicious! I can be picky and expect both high level of service and well-prepared, high quality food - this place does both very well.

Such a wonderful experience and the food was delicious!

Great place for lunch with family. Great food, service and wine

Made an appointment and was seated quickly. Service and food if very good. Love the Ambiance and people watching. Will return when in NYC in the summer so I can sit outside.

Just lovely. A must-do when in NYC! The food, service and atmosphere is amazing.

Our meal was delicious and relaxing. The perfect ending to our visit to the Big Apple.

We are visitors from the UK and have been to the Tavern on the Green twice before. I'm afraid a really disappointing experience this time - nothing like the Tavern on the Green we experienced on our last visit. More like a fast food joint than an iconic restaurant. Food was very mediocre too.

The Ambiente was lovely and the good was served as soon as we ordered it.

We first thought our waitress was funny .
But when she did the same jokes and „mistakes“ five minutes later at the table right next to us, we felt a little cheap.

And it was my bfs birthday which was in the reservation. She didn’t even mention it but did congratulate the person on the table next to us to hers. A little consistency would have been nice.

Called requested special room seating confirmed on phone Then received a 24 hour reservation confirmation I reminded her of seating confirmation She informed me Their person miss informed me they could probably not honor a seating request n suggested I arrive early. I left my group n arrived early. They said request noted They seated us Not where I requested without a word to why r about my request. When I asked they simply said they were busy. I resented the treatment. It was a special occasion n we traveled to New York n the Tavern n were disappointed with no effort on site at the Tavern

Would’ve been nice to know it was only Sunday brunch at 3:30pm. Menu was very limited at our reservation time as it was only brunch - this was very disappointing.

Food was good.

Burger was excellent.

So nice excellent service delicious food!

I loved everything about Tavern on the Green. The restaurant accommodated our seating preference. The ambiance was great in the Central Park room and by the bar. They even added a complimentary dessert on the house for a birthday! Can’t wait to go back!

Great for Brunch on weekends!

During our short visit to NYC we wanted to do something that would create a special memory. A friend suggested Tavern on the Green. We selected Sunday Brunch and it was absolutely wonderful. Tavern on the Green will definitely be at the top of our list on our next visit to the city.

We loved the food and ambiance at Tavern on the Green. We had potato pancakes, smoked salmon appetizer, and eggs benedict. All were delicious. Although it is pricey, I highly recommend this restaurant for tourists and special occasions!

Great food. Sat in the bar area. Would have liked to sit more towards the restaurant or greenhouse area. A must do if in Central Park area.

Brunch. Food was somewhat average; nothing exceptional. They got my order wrong. Ambiance and historical significance made the experience somewhat improved. Been there; done that. Wouldn’t go back again.

Love Tavern on the Green! Great food, great people, great service!
Our server Madison made the experience even better.

My daughter and I had brunch this past Saturday at this special restaurant. We were in town for a mother-daughter weekend and I wanted her to experience the view and delicious food at Tavern on the Green. I had been there before but this was her first time there. It was a beautiful sunny day. We sat in the ‘glass room’ and ate a lovely brunch. A happy memory for me and my girl eating at the Tavern on the Green.

Exelent experience and great service, we loved the view

Incredible service. The food was wonderful. Overall an awesome experience.

Seated by the back glass wall - I’d suggest sheers or something - the sun was blinding and HOT - everyone seated in its rays asked to move.

Just visiting NY and were celebrating!

The place is beautiful. We had a flatbread and steak sandwich. The food was good but not great.

With a reservation, we were not seated until 45 minutes after our scheduled time. This is not acceptable for a NY restaurant. We are not likely to return, even though the food was good and the decor is a lovely setting.

I brought an out of town friend to show them a piece of NY history but instead we had severe hunger pains and had to cancel our dinner out because of the late seating and food service.

I would advise the restaurant management to get a handle on this issue. Otherwise in Manhattan you are likely to go bankrupt from such treatment.

Lovely! Wonderful atmosphere, perfect server (Laura) and amazing food.

Good vibes, great atmosphere, everything was special, beautiful place 😍

Enjoyed every minute from the food to the view. Would visit often

First-time for my wife and I in NYC, and Tavern On The Green (TOTG) has always been a must-go place on our list. This landmark restaurant met our expectations, though fell short on steak preparation. This was the only snag in the whole operation from the smiles and friendly faces at the front door to the sounds of delighted crowds coming forks, eating and enjoying themselves as we walked out.
FINAL GRADE: A

BUT HERE'S WHY:

The server was very amiable. I've worked in various aspects of customer service, and I'm a stickler for taking care of people. With this experience, I am knowledgeable of at least 2 things:
1) never giggle during a physical, and
2) food/drink is very personal.
Our guy was very knowledgeable of menu items..quick to make recommendations for some pairings.

The crabcake appetizer was beautifully fried, and the flavor was soooo fresh.

The lobster pot pie was on-point.

The wife got the skirt steak with creamed potatoes and a side of greens. Still needed another go on the grill, too rare. Came back seared, but still rare. ☹

Manager took care of us: ordered the birthday cake and apple crisp desserts.

OpenTable doesn't allow descriptive reviews, so... there you go.

Fabulous place with delicious food items. Spencer was excellent

The rennovation has done wonders. Looks like a new place on the inside. Tables too close together and thus too noisy inside.

A little loud for the hearing aid guests otherwise excellent

Fun and enjoyable

My parents were visiting from out of town and it was the first time my father had been back to NYC in 35 years. He mentioned the best meal he had his first time in NYC was at Tavern on the Green. My mom and I surprised him with reservations for a “dinner down memory lane”. The experience was incredible for each one of us. He loved being back and seeing how it changed in many ways, but still had the same class and charm it had 35 years ago. My mom and I loved it too. I’ve lived in the city for a year now and always wanted to go but wanted to go for a special occasion. Everything about it was perfect. The drinks, the food, the service, the ambiance... it all lives up to the wild expectations I had. I recommend the tomahawk if it’s on the menu when you go.

Excellent restaurant with delicious food. Our waiter Ben was informative and very professional. Highly recommended!

Amazing time!
