Restaurants near Swedish Cottage Marionette Theatre

My wife and I last ate at Tavern on the Green 19 years ago, and it was great to bring our now grown up Children here during a family Christmas trip to New York from the UK. The Tavern is still charming, with good service and great (Christmassy) atmosphere. We had a selection of Burgers and Sandwiches between us and all were good, although a little big for a UK appetite! We really enjoyed our experience.

What an indulgent meal and fun experience! We had been wanting to try Bad Roman for awhile but the reservations are always full. We finally got lucky! The space is really beautiful and cozy, it feels special. It never got too loud even though it was quite full. Our server was friendly and never far away if we needed anything. Food and drinks arrived quickly and everything was delicious. We loved the shared pasta and the frozen tiramisu especially. Others have wonderful pictures and descriptions of the food, everything was delicious. Best we've ever had? No. But this place is an experience. Some of the dishes are overpriced but you're in Columbus Circle so it goes with the territory. Go have fun and don't worry what the check reads.

Lovely all around! First table was cold by the door, but they politely moved us. Great atmosphere, service and delicious food and drinks.

Today the food was, as always, delicious. I had the frisée salad and a side of fries. My friend had mussels with frites. But I want to write about the great staff. EVERY person I encountered - from the maitres’d to our waiter to the support staff - was bright and cheerful and extraordinarily helpful. How can you not love a neighborhood restaurant like Cafe Luxembourg?

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!
