Nestled in beautiful downtown NYC, this Tavern offers a modern, clean, and elegant atmosphere that makes for a truly enjoyable dining experience. The lighting and decor are tasteful, and the staff is both friendly and courteous, which sets the stage for a pleasant evening.Starting off, we ordered the smoked fish appetizer. It had great texture and the quality and quantity were just right, but it lacked that extra punch of seasoning to really elevate the boldness of the smoked fish. The crackers, while fine, felt a bit overpowering for the delicate nature of the fish - a toasted baguette would have been a much better pairing in my opinion.On to the cocktails - they were fantastic! Bold, flavorful, and perfectly balanced, without being too strong. A great complement to the meal.Now, I won't dive too deeply into my husband's burger, though he did say it was delicious! But me, I like to order with a bit more adventure, and this is where the Tavern truly surprised me. Being a Tavern, they focus on a friendly bar atmosphere and pub-style menu, but their execution on more refined dishes really stands out.I ordered the salmon with fresh green beans and mashed potatoes, and let me tell you - White Oak Chef, don't play! That salmon was perfection. Lightly dusted with sea salt and garlic butter, with maybe just a dash of cooking wine, the flavors were fresh, authentic, and vibrant. The green beans, tossed in the same skillet with what I'm sure was a squeeze of lemon, were packed with flavor. The mashed potatoes were just there as a hint - a gentle reminder that the real star was what was sitting on top.This meal easily deserves 10 stars, but since the rating only goes up to 5, consider this review my full endorsement. Absolutely worth a visit!

Long story short - Food was good not great but service is impeccable! I willgo back there many times. I'llList some great things:1) they don't rush you - they let you drink dat chit chat at your pace. They don't rush to get you out the door or pressure to order more stuff2) they brought me a beer to try cos I didn't know how it would be - I mean who does that nowadays! I guess a few places but they have my heart for it3) food was all great quality stuff just mot amazing or anything which tbh at a tavern/pub type place I'm anyway not going for. Their salads, burger, omelette all fall in this 4/5 category btw4) they also gave my friend a compliment Bday creme brûlée which they knocked out of the park Great servers! Great ambiance. Pretty bar!

What a great place to be at during the holiday season, such a warm and cozy place, and with great service it only make the place better thats for sure.I got the WOT burger medium rare and it was delightful, as the blend between the pickles, the sauce, Cheese and meat was great, while the fries were nicely hot.

Stopped here for happy hour before - was great to grab a beer, fries, and they were very accommodating for larger groups of us! Dark-grained wood all within, and servers were bustling about with mugs of beer and appetizers in-hand; the chicken pot pie was raved over, as was the pretzel and fried pickles, but my burger was a bit lackluster (could've used a different sauce from the tavern one, I think).The menu has changed over the years, but it's just as noisy and while I miss the Murphy and Gonzalez that was here before, this still gives off much the same vibes!

Came here with a few friends to catch up and the atmosphere was cozy on a rainy day! Staff were very nice and explained the menu items in detail and so we got the Brussels sprouts to start and each of us got burgers and a Ruben! Food was great and I would come back with my friends again

Came by with a group of girls for bottomless brunch after a workout class and had a great time yapping and sipping on drinks. They had a pretty extensive brunch menu, all at reasonable prices and decent portions. I got the BLAT which came with a side of fries. It was a decent burger that filled up my stomach and most importantly, helped counteract the endless mimosas I was having. Service was pretty attentive and they were not shy about giving us refills on the drinks. We pretty much stuck to the raspberry mint mimosa the whole meal because it was soo good! The bottomless brunch lasts 2 hours - one of the more affordable bottomless brunch spots that seemed pretty worth it.

White Oak is THE happy hour spot for my friend group. We cannot go without a foxy sangria and the trusty fries and dipping sauce trio. Their Brussels sprouts are also good. We've tried many things on the menu here and have liked everything. My sister also loved their BLAT-- bacon lettuce avo tomato. The happy hour deals could be better but I always have a good time here.

This is a very popular spot due to its convenient location. It's always busy--no matter the day or time of the week--it's always bustling with cheerful crowds. This is a well liked happy hour spot for many locals and students. Make reservations for busy dinning times, as the place fills up quickly starting 6pm.Beautiful Christmas decorations adorn the classy wooden decor of this taverna. Spending time here is joyful and uplifting, especially if you're looking for that old world holiday charm. Warm and accommodating host. Waiters are efficient and professional. Food is standard American bar fare. Nothing to write home about. $16 White Oak salad was small and light. Very little dressing. Just a few pieces of lettuce (definitely could've put more of the cheapest produce imaginable for such price and portion. $13 chilly Brussels sprouts were tasty, but not crispy. $21 cheeseburger and $29 wagyu burgers were filling. Cheeseburger was served with all the side fixins', so that portion felt more substantial than Wagyu burger. Wagyu tasted more delicate. Less fat and sinew, which you could taste in the regular cheeseburger, making it a bit tough, if compared to Wagyu patty. Get your burgers medium rare, so that they're not dried up. Fries were standard. $29 salmon with pea risotto was disappointing. Everything on that plate was bland. Zero seasoning whatever. Salmon filet had a crispy skin, which I appreciated, but the fish itself was a bit tough, and again, completely devoid of taste. Risotto was plentiful but utterly lacking flavor. Felt like eating porridge/grits in childhood, when your palette craves flavor yet you have to subside on bland food. Skip--get burgers instead.Everyone in our party was insanely parched after our meal. Drink plenty of water while eating so you're not dying of dehydration for the rest of the night.

Very good place- food was good as was manager and our server, Julia, who was very sweet. Missed a couple of things on an order but they made up for it and were very apologetic and gave the kids ice cream. Nice area by NYU and cool interior with great music selection.It was solid and I recommend.
