You must take this review with a grain (or a pile) of salt--I've eaten here exactly once, and it was almost 9 years ago. That said, my best friend and I still dream about the pork chops we ate there.…

I've been here a few times, the first being for a Sweet 16 when I was younger. I fell in love with this fairy-tale like restaurant. But now that I am older and it takes more than pretty colored walls to make...

I found Tavern on the Green to be underwhelming. The food was good enough to enjoy, but not to merit the price or the necessity of a prix fixe menu. The service was very Disney World and awkward,…

Who are you people? I guess you didn't enjoy yourselves! We went in Spring of Last year and had the best time! It was cold and rainy outside and this place was the best place to be for lunch! We had a Pre-Fix...

Some places are famous because they serve a great product, provide a fantastic atmosphere, and are all around awesome. Some places are famous simply because they're famous. Tavern on the Green would…

I agree with the other reviews, way over priced for sub par food, tacky interior, a wait staff that barely spoke English. My steak had no flavor and the mashed potatoes were over salted. They did a decent job...

[This review pertains to NEW YEARS EVE 2007.] Tavern on the Green had $75 tickets. That's really what did us in. Other bars were charging $125 for standing room only, an open bar, and passed…

Every mediocre thing you've heard about the food is true. A fairly bland menu of things you've already seen and tried before--and not even a good version of such classics. The service is lackluster--the...

Eh, this place is way TOO overrated. You pay for the ambiance ... I would say 70% atmosphere and 30% food. I came here for brunch with my girlfriends and the food was just ok, not yum-yum-delisioso,…

The good thing about Tavern is the fact that it's in the middle of Central Park. It's romantic, a nice little walk through the park to get to this NYC establishment. The portions are good, and the…

Yuck. I really wanted to love this NYC institution, but my first (and last) experience there left a lot to be desired. OK - I only went for brunch, but they claim that it's one of the best brunch…

First Time to New York? Then a visit to Tavern on the green is must. This famous restaurant, and bar have been in a number of movies, and is one of New York icons/Landmarks.

A memorable experience for anybody visiting the city. Yes, the items on the menu are overpriced but what isn't in Manhattan these days?

The food is not that good for the price, but you really can't beat the ambience. Gorgeous outdoor seating! A truly fabulous NYC experience that should be done at least once.

The location obviously can't be beat, but for the prices I would expect something unique. They made no attempt to put a new spin on the classic dishes that make up their menu. While I understand that their...

Wow, not sure what year it is, but the menu reads something out of the 80s- at best. Went under duress with friends for a special dinner. Sorely disppointed. TOG is a glorified tourist trap, using its once...
