    Visited for Thanksgiving dinner. Good variety of choices for a prix fixe menu and large portions. We even had some leftovers. Ambience really made the meal.

    My husband discovered this restaurant in 2023 and we knew when came back to NYC we had to come to have our Thanksgiving meal. You did not disappoint. As long as we are able to return to NYC, this will be a restaurant on our must stop places.

    The decor was festive and fun. The food was good. The service was very poor. I am tired to going to restaurants that want to believe they are “fancy” and charge high prices but the wait staff has no idea how to serve. It ruins the whole experience.

    I wish I could report a better experience for my Thanksgiving dinner. I had booked my reservation for one, well in advance knowing that Fraunces Tavern is a very popular restaurant in New York City. The staff that I interacted with were friendly and tried to be helpful. Unfortunately, for such a busy evening it did not seem that they had the staffing to support the huge crowd. Additionally, the prefix menu was $100 and my soup was moderately warm, and my dinner plate seemed that it has been plated and sat for a bit before it was served. It was a very expensive and unfortunately just mediocre experience.

    The food and service were very good. The restaurant is charming with its authentic rooms from the days of President George Washington. Seating in many of the rooms are on wooden benches (yes, they do have backs)!
