   I was sat in a pretty empty restaurant as my reservation was near closing time. With many many seats I found I was sat next to a silverware place setting station so they were constant jangling and clanking noises while we ate with the servers butt in our faces even though they had a clear glass shield in place it didn't help. The short rib was terribly salty and I love salt. I'm a home chef with many real chef friends so we understand when something is heavy handed or when the "chef is not in love". I sent it back which I really didn't want to because I love short rib but I must honestly say I have had better.. much better. They did rectify and let me choose another entree and so I bought the whole fish which was exquisite. My companion for the evening got the salmon and they admitted it was too salty as well. Other than that the service was good but the ambience clearly shows it's not the 80s Tavern on the Green anymore. Because the wait staff was accommodating, I chose the mid tier tip, but seating is near that plate station was a bad move in an empty restaurant. It felt disrespectful. I'm probably never returning unless that fish experience haunts me to revisit.

   There were several hairs found in my bacon and French toast. Our waiter was nice but the cost did not justify the the quality of the food.

   Everything was fantastic except the tables were inches from each other so it was loud and hard to have a conversation. But I understand they are trying to have room for as many people as possible. Overall it was a wonderful experience. Can’t wait to come back.

   It was my first time there since they reopened and my girlfriends first time there ever. The food and service were beyond excellent! Only issue was knowing it was a first time for both since I mentioned it, we were sat in a corner by a serving station and were interrupted quite a few times.

    Nice bucket list destination. Restaurant week meal and wine pairing nice value. Shrimp was under seasoned but nice portion. Cod was good, also nice portion but not served hot. Black bean soup was just ok. Short rib did not taste good. Desserts were good but everything looked very banquet-y, cruise-ship-y in presentation. Glass walled room very pretty but loud and our table was too close to the banquette behind us and had our backs to those guests which felt unpleasant. The southwestern room looked cozier. Zaviel was highlight. He gave us a tour of restaurant and very hospitable. Our waiter and hostess were also friendly and nice. Would be willing to come again to sit outside.

    A totally delightful, pre-opera, dinner experience. The dining room twinkles. The food was very good (ravioli, salad, crab cake, and a sticky toffee dessert plus wine and coffee). I would def go back! The ambiance makes it very special, even on a rainy night.

    Would definitely return! The food was pricey but good. We went during restaurant week. The staff was friendly and quick, and we didn't have to wait long at all for our food. The restaurant is beautiful! It was rainy/snowy out when we went, and it was nice and cozy seeing it on the large windows looking out into the park. The atmosphere is 10/10.

    We came during “Restaurant Week”, and took the 3 course option with wine tastings for $85. The garlic shrimp appetizer was the favorite. Unfortunately everyone in our group got the short rib main course. I say “unfortunately” because it would have been nice to see the other entrees (Cod, chicken and some vegetarian plate). The short ribs were good, but like most short ribs, were glorified pot roast. The Apple crisp was great for dessert on a cold, wet night. Server Noah was outstanding.

    Most enjoyable evening, both the salmon and ravioli were tasty and served to our desire. Weather was a bummer, so the ambiance of Central Park had to be scrubbed.

    We were seated close to the service area which took away from the ambience With the calibre of the restaurant & with having 2 staff at the entrance we requested an order for 2 cabs for us, they refused our request

    Dining here exceeded my expectations. I arrived at the time of my reservation, and there was no wait. The staff was attentive without being overbearing. Bread and water arrived shortly after I was seated, and the food, when it came, was delectable. When I was asked how the food was, all I could manage was "wow." Noise was/wasn't an issue. There were two boisterous groups near me, one with an infant, one with 20-25 gabbing people. The conversation around me was noticeable, but the noise level was not so loud that I couldn't think, or enjoy my meal. In some places, noise echoes. In the Tavern, it seems to be dampened a bit. The manager even came by to ask whether the experience could be improved. Only if I had a private room. I came away highly impressed.
