BEAUTY & ESSEX REVIEWS
We came here for my birthday and had an amazing time. The service was excellent and the place is simply gorgeous. Glad I read about the unique entrance! It can get a bit chaotic in the entrance and bar, but once seated you get to take the entire place in. I was told they used to serve champagne in the women's bathroom, but they've sadly stopped this. The food was delicious as well. Overall we had such a blast! Highly recommend to celebrate a special event!
Visited for restaurant week and our prix fixe meal was wonderful. Wait staff went out of the way to explain the menu and suggest drinks. The food was an experience and the way you enter a pawn shop into the back and the restaurant opens into such a beautiful moody experience. We can't wait to visit again.
Went for dinner with my girlfriend. It’s beautiful as u enter. Reservation is required. Since we both are eaters we asked the server to move us to a bigger table. The food was amazing. Every item we ordered was divine & worth every penny. We ordered double as the portions are very small. Chelsea our server was amazing. Very sweet & friendly. The drinks were super good too. Definitely going back. Need to try other dishes.

'Tavern on the Green' was originally built as a sheepfold that housed a flock of 300 Southdown sheep that grazed the Sheep Meadow lawns of Central Park, New York City. The building was designed by Calvert Vaux in the Victorian Gothic Revival style. In the 1930's it was converted into the first restaurant of Central Park, and so began the making of an iconic dining institution. Tavern on the Green went through many renovations and, by the late '90s, had almost obscured its original footprint with the addition of other dining spaces, most notably, the famed Crystal Room. New owners Jim Caiola and David Salama, artists turned entrepreneurs, took over the shuddered space in 2014 and re-established the landmark building's original glory with the help of the City of New York. Today the restaurant has returned to its premier dining stature offering a delicious a-la-carte Classic American Menu as well as a celebratory space that hosts many of New York's weddings & more. In addition to their regular operations, they also organize a variety of special events, including weddings, corporate events, social gatherings, and exclusive dining experiences.

TAVERN ON THE GREEN REVIEWS
Came here for my dads 60th birthday and had a wonderful time. The ambiance was amazing, staff impeccable and food delicious. My parents used to come here over 30 years ago and I thought it would of been great to celebrate my dads birthday here with some great food and to bring back some old memories. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone who would like to have a night to remember.
Perfectly proper evening. The service was stellar atmosphere was classy but inviting. The menu could use a dessert without egg. Otherwise there was a great selection of options for people with every diet. I would go back for a cocktail in a heartbeat as it was prepared very well. The Queens cocktail - Bright fresh with a smooth complex finish.
Every time we dine here it is fantastic and magical. Especially at Christmas. The food is beautiful, flavorful, and just plain great. The atmosphere is very comfortable. And the live music was fantastic. Tavern on the green is always on our list. You have to make reservations about a month in advance, so keep that in mind!

GRAMERCY TAVERN REVIEWS
Enjoyed a tasting menu this past Saturday. We were very much looking forward to it after reading reviews and a friend from NY recommended it. We were fortunate to get a reservation when it opened up for our weekend visit to NY. We enjoyed every moment of the experience. The food was delicious of course and the service was impeccable. The staff was very attentive and made some great recommendations. Mike was our main server but we had several other who attended to us. We really enjoy our time there and would definitely go back when we are in the city. Thank you Gramercy Tavern for a lovely evening. We needed it.
A LOVELY experience every time we visit. We have been visiting Gramercy Tavern for the past 20 years and they never disappoint. From grabbing a glass of wine at the bar or chowing down on Roasted Oysters and Beef Tartare, the ambience and the service is second to none! It's always a MUST VISIT when we fly in from Seattle, and we typically visit more than once during our time in town. We already can't wait to return !!
Celebrated our anniversary here last night. Food was really good, good portions and really tasty. The staff were really friendly throughout. It's not a place for a quiet meal, especially in The Tavern where you're sat close to the bar - but once we adjusted to the noise it have a great atmosphere. Would definitely visit again.
