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!

We visited Hudson Garden Grill after viewing the NYBG Train Show on a Friday night and had a lovely time. The restaurant is light and airy and after being among so many people at the show it was nice to relax in peace and have an excellent meal. We were a group of five that included two young boys. Our server was skilled enough to coax our 9 nine year old to order his own meal and even joke with the waiter. We all enjoyed our meal and specialty drink. It's definitely worth checking out.
