Restaurants near Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

Great food, excellent lunch menu. Plenty of choices, service was friendly and attentive. Good atmosphere

The Central Park Boathouse is a delight - everyone very friendly and the food outstanding. We were there for lunch. I had the corn/shrimp bisque which was sooo good followed by a shrimp cocktail, five huge shrimp and an outstanding house made sauce. My husband had the Manhattan clam chowder, which he raved about and crabcake, also a rave. Lots of choice on the menu and the atmosphere was wonderful. Looking at the lake with people rowing was like a Seurat painting. Would happily return!

Again an outstanding experience. We just love “Tavern on the Green”! It was my friend’s “50” th birthday and a great little touch by presenting a piece of birthday cake with a beautiful decorated plate and a candle. Which was on the house! Thanks to the entire staff for making the evening so special.

Service and food was terrific, and the view out to the park is fabulous.

A lovely, lovely birthday dinner, one we had been long awaiting to have at Sistina. And, simply put, we had the single best cooked and tasting scallop we have ever had in our lives.
