    My cousins Joe and Mary from Ireland and I had such a lovely dining experience at the one and only Tavern on The Green in Central Park. From the time I entered, I was greeted by several hostesses and they were all so welcoming and nice. I brought them a box of chocolates to wig them a Happy New Year. They told me that my cousins had arrived and they would show us to our table. She sat us at a beautiful table overlooking the outside at 2:45pm. We loved the assorted breads with butter and jelly. I loved the vegetable chicken soup. My cousins loved the Scottish Salmon and Chicken Paillard salad. The service was amazing-our server was a young Asian woman. We also had a male worker (he hails from Senegal, Africa) that helped clear our table and he was so nice and friendly. Fabulous time today!

    Came with my 2 nieces to afternoon tea to celebrate their Sweet 16s and the girls were treated like royalty! The hostess gave them sparkly pink “Birthday Girl” sashes, they had photos taken and 2 chocolate mousse cakes with candles were brought out so we could sing happy birthday. Our server, Mary Alice, was very sweet and attentive. It’s the Plaza, so the atmosphere is always magical! A fantastic day was had and the memories we made were priceless.
