    This was our first time visiting and we did a horse drawn carriage ride through Central Park before our reservation since Tavern on the Green is just on the edge of the park. It was beautifully decorated for the holidays and stunningly gorgeous inside- even better than I’d imagined. The food was delicious and service was very attentive. I really could not have asked for a more perfect dinner experience for myself and my family! Thank you Tavern of the Green for such a great dining experience!

    The food was delicious! French onion soup is a must, perfectly melted Gruyère and a generous amount of soup. I also had the Croque Monsieur which was so filling and beautifully melted. Great ambience, attentive staff and we were not rushed. Made for an absolutely wonderful family get together. Will be back!

    Absolutely delicious! We started out with some oysters and the truffle whipped ricotta, fantastic. We got the sirloin with the ravioli on top, some of the best steak I have ever had. It was so tender I could cut it with my fork. We also got the lobster pasta, it was mediocre but not bad. Finished with the lemon cheesecake, so yummy. We will definitely be back!

    Milling Room is a great spot for a date night meal. The ambiance and styling aim to impress which it did. The food is above average without going over the top in either presentation or price. Just watch out for the drink prices. The waiter up charged by 50% for a Hendrix martini, without informing, then tried to pass it off that I should have known the menu price was well liquor. Despite the blatant attempt at a rip off, I will be back
