Best Historic Restaurants in Bywater

It is always a treat dining here! The food is always amazing the soufflé potatoes and oysters Rockefeller are a must try if you are visiting for the first time, the charbroiled oysters are delicious too! The staff is always so welcoming and friendly. I was celebrating a friend’s birthday and our waitress Jessie was friendly and informative about the menu. The baked Alaska is not something to be skipped, you definitely need to try it! After dinner we were given a tour by Roland and he was such a gem! The tour he gave us and another couple was truly wonderful, he was so knowledgeable and friendly. This evening was the perfect ending to our trip. I can’t wait to come back!

So, I decided to take the plunge and propose to my girlfriend at Tujague's Restaurant. The atmosphere was perfect, the food was incredible, and I was pretty sure she was going to say yes. My waiter, Victor, was fantastic. Polite and funny—everything was going so smoothly… until the moment I popped the question. She looked at me, looked at the ring, and then put down her spoon she was using to eat her turtle soup (delish!)… well, let’s just say my knee didn’t get the ‘yes’ it was hoping for. In fact, I think I wasn’t going to have the great evening later at the hotel either now. I was going to order a dessert with whipped cream for some fun but no. At least I didn’t faint. Silver linings. But here's the thing: The team at Tujague's couldn’t have been more supportive. They didn’t make me feel like a failure and called me big guy and patted my back every time they walked by. The chef even sent over an extra dessert (without whipped cream) to “help me recover”. In the end, we shared a laugh, finished our meal, and both agreed on a "maybe" next time. Tujague's? A+ for ambiance, food, and making an awkward moment feel slightly less awkward. I’ll be back—just maybe not for another proposal. Also with a blonde next time🙌🏽

Food is perfect every time. Perfect cocktails. Flavorful food. All around, my favorite place to eat.

Good food…Great service…the atmosphere is top notch Celebrated with my besties for Galentines and we really enjoyed our food, the drinks (The CEO) and our time together was well spent. Will be returning to celebrate for my birthday.

The valentines dinner was great. We had a great server named Jeremy. Every table was taken but Jeremy was always there at the right time when we needed anything, and he was great at having conversation. If you get the chance ask for him! We were only suppose to have the table for an hour and a half, but we ended up staying two hours without realizing it. Im surprised that happened on Valentine’s Day with how crowded it was, but I guarantee he had part to play in that. Thank you Jeremy!
