    One of the best experiences I’ve had in New York. Had to book pretty early in advance due to the Valentines Day weekend rush, but got a lovely early afternoon spot. The atmosphere was so elegant & classy. Our waitress Mary Alice was so kind, accommodating, and overall such a pleasure to interact with. Yes it is pricey, but the experience and the quality of the food/tea was well worth it.

    My husband and I, along with my brother and his husband, had a fantastic brunch at Tavern on the Green! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the warm and welcoming staff. The food was absolutely delicious—we started with the biscuit and gravy appetizer, and it was amazing! For our mains, we enjoyed the steak and eggs, the fig appetizer, and the egg pizza—each dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. One thing you can’t miss is their bread basket with your coffee at the start. Every bite was delicious and the perfect way to begin the meal. The atmosphere, service, and food all made for a truly wonderful experience. We highly recommend Tavern on the Green for a perfect brunch in the city!

    We came here for my husband's birthday and had such a fantastic experience! The omakase was delicious and fresh, the ambiance was intimate, and we were treated like special guests. They even gave my husband a little surprise for his birthday which made it extra great. I look forward to coming back!

    I picked this restaurant by looking at online reviews. I could not have made a better choice. Our reservation was on time. We walked in, sat down and were immediately greeted by our server. Emily was her name. She was without a doubt, one of the best servers I have ever had the pleasure of working with she treated my wife and me as if we were her only customer and we were the most important people in the restaurant. It was truly a special occasion for us. The food was everything that she had said it would be and everything that I read online. It was fabulous. We took her suggestions for some of the dishes we got and every suggestion she made was fantastic. I will go back to Carmines anytime I’m in New York City.
