David FJanuary 29, 2014The historic building has great atmosphere and good food. It's just inside Ft Tryon Park so take some time and walk around check out the views and visit the Cloisters at the other end of the park.
Time Out New YorkFebruary 1, 2012The Greenmarket-inspired menu at this rustic eatery features seasonal fare. Enjoy a romantic jazz soundtrack while you eat courtesy of the restaurant’s Friday Night Music series (7:30–10:30pm). Read more
D&A Travel: AndersDecember 28, 2013[Escapes] Feeling adventurous? Go for brunch up on the north tip of Manhattan. Beautiful park around, and just next to Metropolitan's medieval museum Cloisters. Go!
Jane MartinNovember 25, 2011Don't miss the fabulous cocktails. The Tea Rose, Green Fairy ( that's right, Absinthe) and Ginger Pear Sidecar stand out. The Bloody Mary is a must with brunch, as the Valrhona hot chocolate.
Brendan SpiegelFebruary 22, 2012Washington Heights’ woodsy Fort Tyron Park is the setting for this quaint limestone building and garden cafe, which serves an upscale seafood menu featuring oysters on the half-shell and tuna tartare. Read more
New York PostMay 30, 2013For sheer escapism, few venues can compete. It’s a trip to the forest primeval — or to a Swiss chalet, thanks to greenery that envelops you like a warm quilt. Read more
The Wall Street JournalJune 22, 2010Lunch is served on the patio of the 1930s stone cottage just downwind from the Cloisters. Ricotta ravioli features basil grown on the patio, while burgers can come with house-smoked bacon and cheeses. Read more

Chantae VetriceDecember 1, 2013Duck confit with poached eggs...MARVELOUS! Bloody Mary is to die for!
NYC ParksMay 20, 2010Located in a romantic 1930’s cottage surrounded by the green of stunning Fort Tryon Park, this spot is one of the highest points in Manhattan. Check out their brunch menu!
Ralph MarburgerFebruary 20, 2010Never had a good meal here. The setting, especially in the summer months, is great. But I just wish they knew how to make tasty food.
Stephanie ShannonMarch 6, 2010Apple Jammy drink is perfect for a cold day. And the duck confit on the brunch menu is to die for
Adrian LAugust 6, 2014Good food in a beautiful setting, get away from the city without ever leaving it
Nanci BradshawJuly 28, 2012This place has a great view and ambiance but the food doesn't live up to it...you are paying for the view...
HollyOctober 1, 2011Don't walk in the street entrance by the restrooms. It smells like death and will ruin your appetite.
