Restaurants near Damrosch Park

La Grand Boucherie was very close to our hotel and had great reviews so had to give it a try! It was delicious! The Beef Bourguignon was amazing! My company had the Filet Mignon, French Onion Soup and Steak Tartare. Everything was delicious, and there were no complaints! I had a non-alcoholic cocktail which was also surprisingly delicious! The atmosphere was also excellent, especially near Christmas time. We were in a rush to get to a show, but I wish we had time to stay for dessert. We would definitely go back again! The price for quality matched.

It was between lunch and dinner and we were actually asked where we would like to sit. Someplace cozy, we said, and were seated in a comfortable booth. The ambiance was warm and very Christmas in Manhattan. Everything we ordered was delicious - fried calamari, ratatouille crusted salmon, veal cutlet Parmesan - all tasty. As was the creamy pistachio ice cream.

Always a wonderful experience dining here. The food is always consistently great and the staff always elevates the experience. Monica is a manager extraordinaire and goes the extra mile to make special occasions and every day meals sing. It's always a festive energy and truly one of my family's happy places on the Upper West Side!

The staff is superb. The two front desk reception people greet perfectly, accompany guests to the assigned table and stop by to ensure all is well. Adrian, our server, is superb. Explained the menu, made good suggestions and despite the crowd made sure we were happy. The food is outstanding but the noise level is a disaster! We could not carry on a conversation without adding to the din. The room manager is also a very polite customer focused man who also stopped to insure we were happy. Noise aside, we will be back.:))

Tucked into Central Park, Tavern on the Green was the perfect holiday experience to round out our Christmas in NYC trip! Cozy and festive decor paired with impeccable service and delectable food makes this a “must try” for anyone looking to soak in the magic that is Christmas in New York! I highly recommend the honey roasted fig appetizer and the pan seared scallop entree.
