- PPatriciaLondon •5 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoMy 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.More infoTavern on the GreenPrice: Expensive• American• Midtown West•4.7
- AAmyVIPNew York City •23 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWhat 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.More infoBad RomanPrice: Expensive• Italian• Upper West Side•4.5
- JJobanyLos Angeles •7 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoI hosted my company Xmas dinner here last night for my employees. Glad they were able to accommodate all 12 of us. We did the Tasting Menu Iv. It was enough food/portions to go around for all of us the staff was amazing & they catered to us. More importantly the food was on point. I’ve been here multiple times but this time my employees got to experience & enjoy this top notch dinner.More infoBuddakan NYPrice: Very Expensive• Chinese• Meatpacking District•4.6
- CChristineVIPNew York City •6 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoSuch a fun experience! The pasta class was very beginner friendly. The instructor was patient, checked in on everyone, & loud enough to hear. Our group was huge & took up the entire length of the table. Afterwards, our food was great. Super generous portions, friendly service. I would come back & do it again with a friend it was that good. Highly recommend!More infoAunt Jake's Pasta ExperiencePrice: Moderate• Contemporary Italian• Upper East Side•4.9
