Magical is a word thrown around a lot when discussing Tavern On The Green and one can’t help but feel magic in the air. Jim and David, architect Richard Lewis and landscape architect Robin Key, preserved the Victorian/ Gothic elegance of the semi-circular building; it is authentic, natural, elegant and sexy. It has been re-built to spectacular precision and the décor is of a grand farmhouse one might find on the property of an Italian Villa or a historic Hudson River Valley mansion.

Dress Code: Smart Casual. Jacket and Tie are Not Required.
* We do not permit sleeveless shirts for gentlemen nor athletic/running/jogging attire for any patrons in the main restaurant.

    The food was only okay I’m afraid. The classic prawn cocktail starter felt like the prawns had been sitting in the glass in a fridge all day. The tips were grey and it was ice cold. The buratta salad was nice but overall the food felt like there was no love. My husband was happy with his fish main. Our waiter Christian was great. Really pleasant helpful and friendly. All the staff were lovely. The decor is a little dated but the building is beautiful. We had a lovely afternoon it was just that the food was a little disappointing

    I haven't been to this New York institution in years, and it was just as magical now as it was then. From Christian's affable and impeccable service to the ambiance and delicious food (the charred filet mignon salad was incredible) and wine, we had a wonderful lunch and cannot wait to come back!

    One of the best experiences we had in New York. Service from Britinia was outstanding. Nick the manager was fantastic and ran the brigade effortlessly. Food delightful and the pipe band performance for St Patrick’s Day just crowned a great time. Will definitely return.

    Some think of Tavern as a tourist spot. However, the service is impeccable, the views of Central Park amazing, the food is thoughtfully prepared and presented, and the prices for NYC are very reasonable. I don’t think a reasonable person would be disappointed. I highly recommend.

    One of my favorite dinners ever in NYC. My Fillet Mignon was wonderful and the creamed spinach on the side was so good it made my tongue fly up and smack my brains out. And my girlfriend’s salmon is so juicy. It was all very delicious.

    The food is amazing! Hostess was nice and friendly. However we were sat in the hottest corner of the restaurant on a sunny day. We could not enjoy our meal because it was so freaking hot. They need to do something about this corner. I had to take my sweater off and wear my tank top. We were then visited by security since tank tops are not allowed. Then I get charged for two sodas, which is normally fine but there is no ice in the luke warm water they serve so I needed the iced soda to cool off. For over $300 to eat, one should never have to sit through that. Looking back we should have said no, and ate a hotdog from a stand, outside in the air. For how much they charge and for how busy it was, I think they could afford some shades. I've never been so uncomfortable at a meal in my life. An older person or a baby would have died of heat stroke. Waiter (who's name I do not remember, but who's brother works in Arkansas) was not great. At this level I expect a real person, not some fake robot of a person. We were not impressed and he wasn't impressed with being at work apparently. The rat we crossed paths with on the way in should have been our omen to go a different direction.

    Such a beautiful and iconic place. For the price point it would be nice if we were not rushed so hard through our dinner. Literally every two minutes are you ready? Are you ready? Are you ready? I was there during a very important business meeting and we had no problem putting down money, but our server was very pushy between appetizers, ordering and cocktails until I started to get frustrated with her in front of my boss. Besides that I love this place, I live near here and have been many times.
