Reserved for Easter jazz brunch. The quartet was only playing in the bar room and could not be heard in temple court as there was separate recorded jazz music that conflicted. The pre fixe was subpar. The lobster omlet was extremely dry and avocado toast was quite underwhelming. Great spot for cocktails but I'd look elsewhere for brunch.

The environment is very nice, food is really needing an upgrade. The food was salty. Tipping is mandatory. The manager and server were very strong on why they should receive a tip, citing “not giving a tip will hurt the team.” The food cost a lot and you will be very hungry even after eating two different meals on the menu. By the way, a tip was given after we complained.

I've wanted to come here for the longest time.Since we had an event downtown, I decided to get us a reservation afterwards. Thanks to AMEX, I requested to sit under the atrium overlooking the inside of the hotel floors, while there's never a guarantee I appreciate they were able to accommodate the great views and seat us so quickly upon arriving! It was a really busy night too!We ordered two rounds of drinks, no food, although it looked and smelled wonderful. We walked around the inside after closing out our tab.It's a really unique experience, beautiful place and great atmosphere!(See Photos section for pictures)

From the moment we entered, we were taken aback by the atmosphere, and then our wonderful experience began. Each course was paired with a well chosen wine. My husband had the swordfish entree and I, the pork chop, both outstanding! Unfortunately, we had absolutely no room for dessert! If you want a wonderfully special dining experience , do not miss Temple Court,

Brilliant. Decided to give this place a spin because the bar and restaurant was at max capacity and I’m so glad that I did.Also, I learned some thing amazing last night. I was complaining that I couldn’t see and joking around that restaurants should have reading glasses for people and then my waiter. Says “we do”So he comes back around with this amazing wooden keys full of readers. It was a moment I will never forget such a classy place. I really enjoyed the food the service the ambience I’ll be back.

Our server Jason was the single positive experience of the entire dinner. As we arrived for our reservation no one even greeted us and I had to get the hosts attention to check in. Once seated and putting our orders In and appetizers being fired we recieved hot tuna tartar and way under cooked mushroom À LA greque 35 minutes later (of course not Jason’s fault) then moved on to our entrees which was my burned to a crisp striped bass on a bed of cold puréed potatoes and my husband received bone dry nickle size scallops on a couple pieces of uncooked cabbage. Overall I am just really disappointed as I’ve heard good things about this restaurant and planned a special night out and this was just terrible and could have had a better meal in a diner. Very disappointed for a $300 meal for 2…..hope this isn’t the norm for them.

This place feels so exclusive and classy, we loved it! The comfortable chairs and environment are great for enjoying time with friends and family, but also to have a romantic meal. Service is outstanding, the food was delicious, and pretty much everything about it makes it worthwhile. We'll be back for sure! 5*

What a treat! The roasted cod was absolutely divine, perfectly cooked and well-sauced in a surprisingly delicate way with a light curry. My compliments to the chef. Would definitely return for that dish. I also enjoyed the shishito peppers, nicely salted, charred, and soft. You can ask for the bagna cauda on the side (a relief since it's not my favorite). All terrific paired with the Sancerre. Now between two desserts, the banana upside down cake was the clear winner — really well-made with a lovely melange of textures and a delightful butterscotch. In contrast, the mango cheesecake couldn't strike a balance between the saltiness of the crumble crust, the bracing tart acidity of the lime sorbet, and the heaviness of the cheesecake ingredients which overpowered the , which could really sing if given the opportunity...Lunch service at the bar was very attentive, prompt, and friendly. It was kind of the manager to stop by.

In the Beekman Hotel next to the hotel bar, which includes a fantastic mezzanine. The staff were attentive to every detail (ensuring the table was stable, replacing a blunt knife, topping up my wine glass). The chef's name is on the menu, and deservedly so. The staff are well turned out and not too stand-offish. One gave me a double thumbs up when asking if the meal was ok. This is a restaurant to celebrate a special event, a treat. I felt looked after during my meal here.As with most US restaurants, there was no obvious place to hang your coat. Most guests draped them on the back of their chair or laid them on the bench beside them.
my favorite place during restaurant week! The food is great and the staff is very caring.

Great price to portion ratio, food was great, service was the highlight! We went for my boyfriend’s birthday and they brought complimentary bubbles and a handwritten card from the staff! So sweet! It was a beautiful, intimate atmosphere but not stuffy at all. Drinks were 10/10 too. Would def come back❤️
