I had high expectations, seeing as though Tavern on the Green is ranked #1 on multiple foodie lists. The lack of guests I could take, but I thought a Saturday night at 10 would be a little more exciting.
The hostess was up front chatting with multiple employees and did not even greet us as we walked in. She looked at me like I was nuts when I told her I wanted to keep my jacket. I’m from
Our waiter started off with “What would you like to drink?” There was no “Good evening” or “Is this your first time dining with us?” There was no interaction whatsoever when asked his recommendations on the menu. You know when you walk by a group of people and there’s a weird silence like they were all just talking about you? Yeah, got that a few times from the wait staff. Warm and fuzzy.
I didn’t have to deal with him much since he was non existent the entire meal, then our captain came over towards the end of the dinner and offered his face for a picture, but that’s about the extent of him.
After being told the special (NY Strip) was no longer available, I ordered the chicken which was dry and a creepy room temperature. The stuffing was cold. The vegetables had a film over them like they’d been sitting for a while. I don’t mind spending $100 a head if it’s worth it, but tepid chicken and filmy veggies aren’t my idea of a 5 star culinary program.
Overall, not impressed. Tavern on the Green ended up being a pretty blue experience for me overall.
