Best Historic Restaurants in East Morrisania

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.

Excellent experience. The Roederer champagne by the glass for our apéritif was outstanding. Our petite filet mignon steaks were perfectly cooked, and the sides of fries and asparagus were also very good. The Béarnaise sauce accompanying the steaks was unfortunately very poor, too thin in consistency and almost complete lacking in any suggestion of tarragon, the signature ingredient of this sauce. As promised by our excellent server, Eddie, the Butterscotch Brûlée dessert was dreamy. All in all, a most enjoyable dining experience!

Tucked into Central Park, Tavern on the Green was the perfect holiday experience to round out our Christmas in NYC trip! Cozy and festive decor paired with impeccable service and delectable food makes this a “must try” for anyone looking to soak in the magic that is Christmas in New York! I highly recommend the honey roasted fig appetizer and the pan seared scallop entree.

Nice spot.to caught up with my friend. I will be visiting again for brunch. I can't wait to see what that looks like.

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.
