Tavern on the Green

Fabulous evening tonight with Friends. Service impeccable. Food excellent. Ambiance always the best. My only regret, I live near by and I'm increasing the competition for reservations!Parae was the Best!!

So this was actually my main food destination for New York in my recent visit, and they did not disappoint. Price wise its going to set you back a bit, especially for a full 3 course meal, however you can get away with around 40$ for just a non-alcoholic drink and an entree. Their drink list has options for everyone, and I have to sing PRAISES for the Fireside Chat cocktail. So much so I am making it a mission to recreate it while I am home in AZ. They have a wonderfully cozy little bar area for you to relax while you wait for a table, including some seats by the fireplace. The main seating area was beautiful, and with outside seating closed, the reflection lines up perfectly with the outside so it seems as if the kitchen is also in the patio area, which I thought was just a neat little design choice. 10/10 on the Fireside chat. If you like a cinnamon kind of drink, this is perfect, especially on a cold New York night. Now, the food. I had the Honey and Roasted Fig salad, the caramelized rack of lamb, and the peanut butter molten chocolate lava cake. The salad was a wonderfully light way to begin the meal, especially with the mini baguette provided. Goat cheese, beef, arugula, and fig drizzled in honey. Not much else to say on that one. 8/10 simply because for the price, and simplicity. The main course was the rack of lamb with pureed sweet potato and broccoli. The sweet potato was perfectly seasoned, delicious, and a great pairing for lamb. The Broccoli was, well, broccoli. While again seasoning is on point and it had the perfect amount of crispness, its broccoli on a plate. The lamb was the real star. I had it medium rare and it still practically leapt off of the bone with the fat melting in the mouth. along with a gravy, it was easily some of the best lamb I have ever had in my life, my only thing even close to a complaint was the plating, as it did seem everything was just kind of...piled onto the plate, but hey, I will take that over a tiny portion made to look all fancy any day. 10/10 for the lamb 9.5 out of 10 for the whole dish simply because I do wish they had done a bit more with the broccoli and because I feel they could have spent just a bit more time on the plating to make it look a little nicer.The Lava cake was very good, and served with a bit of vanilla bean ice cream as a perfect companion on its bed of crushed peanuts. Paired it with a lovely cup of some very fine cappuccino that I didn't even have to add anything to. Maybe just a taaad bit less whipped cream, but it was REAL whipped cream. 9/10 Topped it off with a little visit to the gift shop for a few souveneirs. all in all an amazing visit and I hope to return one day

what an iconic nyc restaurant! i have been wanting to come here for a few years because it is one of the only restaurants inside central park. the interior is clean, well lit, and charming. i loved the glass walls with the view of outside. extra star because of the experience! our server was friendly and helpful. my favorite item was the truffle fries (substitute the home fries that come with the benedict for no extra cost)! the benedict itself was not special, but good. the french onion soup (off the menu) was delicious. the orange juice is skippable (doesn't taste particularly fresh but is still good). there's a cute (and extremely pricey) gift shop off of the lobby.

While visiting NYC last month, my sister made reservations for dinner at Tavern on the Green located in Central Park. Nice atmosphere. Great food and service. About $280 for two people including two drinks. Nice experience.

We went for brunch to celebrate a birthday. The waiter gave us a history of the place, which was very informative. Our food was delicious and our friend got ice cream and birthday cake for dessert. The food came out fast and our coffees were refilled quickly. Great place to go with girlfriends.

Beautiful restaurant in Central Park with Christmas decorations, perfect to grab a drink or some lunch/dinner. I came with my husband to have a drink - we got the seasonal beer and the Kolsch. Both were very good, but the seasonal beer was the star. A very unique (in a good way) flavor!Very attentive service. Overprice but that's what I was expecting. Make reservations in advance, it's very crowded during the holiday season.

I was recently in NYC for buying and we all had lunch together at Tavern on the Green. If you've never been here, you are simply letting the best in life pass you by.It located in Central Park in the heart of NYC. It's within walking distance of New York City's famous Times Square. They really know how to treat their grateful customers. The food is excellent and the service is second to none. We had a wonderful experience here and I'm already planning my next visit. If the weather is nice, I highly recommend sitting outside.

Best Salmon Ever! We planned a special NYC trip for my daughter's 21 bday just to have tea at Tavern on the green. Well the tea idea turned into brunch! What an amazing memorable experience! I was able to get a hot tea to go as we walked around central park after our meal. The food was simply delicious. If I could offer any advice it would please.... Please make a cook book to sell in your gift shop!

some of the food we ordered was good but some was not worth it. i ordered the fig salad and thought it would be somewhat filling, but it genuinely was just a handful of arugula (not worth the $23 or whatever it was) The steak sandwich (not pictured) was $40 but my dad and friend split half with the truffle fries and it was a perfect portion. The salmon burger was okay, but didn't have much flavor the ketchup and sauce it came with definitely made it better. 3 of us ordered diet cokes and we kept getting refills and she never once mentioned it wasn't free refills so our diet cokes came out to $24 which is a rip off. The only good thing was the complimentary birthday dessert and the steak sandwich.

The Tavern on the Green was fabulous. What yo be treated like royalty? Like you are the only customer in the room, Tavern on the Green is the place to go. Excellent food choices, all top quality. The staff? Absolutely non better. Friendly, helpful , always making sure we had what we needed without being intrusive.A beautifully decorated, styled atmosphere!Highly recommend!!!
