Best Contemporary American Restaurants in East Harlem

A classic experience. The staff, service and tea service were as great I’d as expected.

My husband and I, along with my brother and his husband, had a fantastic brunch at Tavern on the Green! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the warm and welcoming staff. The food was absolutely delicious—we started with the biscuit and gravy appetizer, and it was amazing! For our mains, we enjoyed the steak and eggs, the fig appetizer, and the egg pizza—each dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. One thing you can’t miss is their bread basket with your coffee at the start. Every bite was delicious and the perfect way to begin the meal. The atmosphere, service, and food all made for a truly wonderful experience. We highly recommend Tavern on the Green for a perfect brunch in the city!
