I had booked my reservation for one, well in advance knowing that Fraunces Tavern is a very popular restaurant in New York City. The staff that I interacted with were friendly and tried to be helpful. Unfortunately, for such a busy evening it did not seem that they had the staffing to support the huge crowd. Additionally, the prefix menu was $100 and my soup was moderately warm, and my dinner plate seemed that it has been plated and sat for a bit before it was served. It was a very expensive and unfortunately just mediocre experience.

                                                                                Is this helpful?

I am tired to going to restaurants that want to believe they are “fancy” and charge high prices but the wait staff has no idea how to serve. It ruins the whole experience.

Mains came before we’d finished our starters and the waiter cleared the starters while we were still eating! Had to chase up a drink we’d ordered twice (they did give it to us on the house in the end but it took at least 15 minutes for us to get the drink, pretty poor really) This place was recommended to us but we won’t be recommending it to others. Too expensive for what it was.
