Best Historic Restaurants in Fordham

Solid, everything tasty and we ordered many dishes as the menu is very extensive, everything tasted fresh and our server was very attentive and friendly. Don’t skip the rice pudding. Worth going for the historical experience alone and for when you want to be overwhelmed by seafood choices.

Great value, efficient service, yummy desserts, and everything cooked to perfection. Perfect for special occasions.

Delightful! We reserved a table on the advice of friend and we’re not disappointed. The experience was lovely. Our waiter was extremely competent, the sommelier was knowledgeable, and both the food and wine were above our expectations. Happy holidays to all!

We had a lovely lunch at the Thayer. The fried chicken was expertly seasoned and the best I've had. Crunchy where it should be and juicy and tender inside. The Cole slaw was just right. Great snap to the fries. The other dish was the Chicken Salad club. Hit every mark and totally enjoyed it. We also ordered the soup of the day and the only mishap was it was brought out not piping hot. A quick word to the waiter and the soup was retuned and the temperature was corrected. In fairness, most restaurants never serve piping hot soup, which they should. We had a view of the Hudson and the ambiance of the hotel and restaurant is old world elegance. The price was very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. We will definitely go back. It would be a fabulous place to watch the autumn colors. Next time.

I went to celebrate my birthday with family and close friends. I had such a great time at Jalao. The food was great. The staff were so friendly and kind.
