Gerry ScheidhauerJune 21, 2018dined outside which was just fine. got ipa on draft. enjoyed good waiter service
Abbe LewisAugust 7, 2014Newly redone, the outdoor bar is great for people watching and a good glass of rosé.
First class service and a fantastic menu. Try the New York strip; definitely worth the price.
Mark WrightMarch 2, 2020Cracking spot for breakfast or lunch with awesome views back across the park
FaisalSeptember 13, 2019The atmosphere here reminds you of some of the epic movies. And the food is very good.
Annie AlfstadMarch 2, 2015Space is beautiful, windows looking into the park. Food is to be expected, a bit overpriced but you go more for the ambiance
Andrew FurmanJune 26, 2015Grab a beer and sit in the shade while you enjoy the central park ambiance.
Josh MorrisseyDecember 21, 2011John Lennon and his son Sean would sometimes celebrate their birthdays here. They shared the same birthday, October 9th. Max Leroy (son of the owner Warner LeRoy) was good friends with Sean Lennon.
AmateurConciergeNovember 13, 2015This 8.3 rating is insanely high. The food here (for the price) is outright butt. Legendary venue, wine options solid but if you're paying this is NOT somewhere u want to eat
Michael GarateSeptember 30, 2014The specials were amazing. Vegetarian cauliflower, Apple bacon ribs, and Atlantic char.

While the refurbishment is elegant and modern, the food is inconsistent at best and the service is appalling. Even if the food was amazing, it is not worth more than an hour wait. Unlikely to return.
Chris PattiApril 29, 2014These folks are trying very hard and the food is decent but not amazing. Sadly, the new Tavern on the Green isn't up to the old one's par.

"Go for a market plate. It's vegetarian, delicious and a ton of food. And if you still have room for dessert, order a homemade Oreo. They're a little dry, but they're delicious."

"This spot in the park - beautiful and cozy in all seasons. In winter, it's close to the skating rink, summer/spring/fall - easy access to volleyball/baseball courts. We like to just lay and read here!"

"Although it can be touristy, I as a Staten Island NY native enjoy the Imagine Circle John Lennon tribute! Wonderful & peaceful place to relax. You'll often be lucky to listen to The Meetles nearby. :)"
