    Stairwell decor to the lower level bar and restrooms
    Sarah W.

    We stopped here for our arrival dinner and within walking distance from our hotel in Manhattan on our way to visit Grand Central Station. We enjoyed the food and ambience. Service was great and we had a relaxed meal. I ordered a grilled chicken Cobb salad (photo included), which was substantial, fresh and delicious. We also meandered to the lower level and discovered another lovely bar area on our way to the restrooms. The stairs are a bit steep, but great decor with a nod to NY subway entrance as you descend.

    Uncle Pat's Comeback Roasted Chicken
    Richard Y.

    First time here on a biz trip and met up with a friend for dinner. Was seated for my reso right away and had a cushy banquette table. The service was no nonsense NY efficient. They have a solid menu with standard tavern offerings. We ordered a burger and the special chicken with rice and beans. The food was good -- not great-- overall. The comeback chicken was nice and warm but a hit anemic on the portion while the rice and beans were room temp. The sauce was delicious! The burger was solid as were the fries. All in all a good experience and I'd come back to try other things on the menu.

    Cookie skillet was amazing 2 nights in a row
    Doug L.

    We ate here 2 nights in a row as it was across the street from our hotel. The food was delicious. The first night we ate late night and service was wonderful and food really hit the spot. It's calm and away from all the chaos of Broadway. Ambiance was quiet and refined. The 2nd night, the service was non-existent, as it started to rain a bit, they moved everyone inside except us since we were under an umbrella, which was more than fine. What we didn't realize was either our server went home or never came out to check on us after that. At the end of our meal, someone finally came out, perhaps the owner or manager, who was very kind and ordered our dessert for us. Would definitely return as we enjoyed it. Definitely get the cookie skillet!

    The most delicious chocolate mousse ever
    Susan D.

    Park Avenue Tavern- PAT. So many great choices in the area near Grand Central for a bit to eat before a show. My server and the four runners were friendly- they refilled my water and beverage often and checked in several times. I appreciate that- many runners dump and run and neither the server or runner stops back to check on the food or any other needs. Not the case here and I appreciated it. Fries and burger were perfectly prepared and delicious. The chocolate mousse was exceptional- it rivaled what I usually order at French restaurants. I need that recipe! I was also able to catch an NBA game. Cozy place- will definitely return.

    Cobb Salad
    Mollie W.

    While staying a few days in NYC, we had our heart set on another dinner place but were told it was closed when we arrived. The manager was super nice and recommend we take a short walk over to Park Avenue Tavern. It was pretty busy and we didn't have a reservation but were seated in the bar area with wait service by Ramiro. We started with the pull apart bread - amazing! It was fresh and seemed more like a popover - so, so good. We enjoyed the BBQ Ribs - meaty, flavorful, sizeable portion. The Cobb Salad was also very tasty. Chocked full of every delicious thing that a Cobb should have. Nice atmosphere here.

    Great atmosphere. Bar area downstairs a plus. Burgers are amazing. Pretty good wine list even if small. Very friendly waitstaff -- hostess not super happy but gets the job done.

    This is one of the first places I've tried while staying in mid-town. It has a great vibe and ambience is pretty chill. I ordered the pasta which was super tasty and the service was excellent. Would come back here again next time I visit NYC!

    Park Burger
    Jed M.

    Excellent spot near Grand Central and the Chrysler Building! Upscale, lively, dimly lit tavern with great food and cocktails! Received decent service. Highly recommend burger, French onion soup, and Pimm's Cup cocktail- all perfection!

    Flatbread and Chicken Sandwhich
    Kati B.

    I wanted to rate this place higher, especially since I had been psyched to go for a while. I've gone twice recently, once for brunch, and once for an early dinner. Brunch was good and it was great to sit in their heated patio. The prosciutto flatbread and chicken sandwich were well made and really good. When we came for dinner, we also shared the chicken sandwich and added the mac and cheese and spinach salad. Chicken Sandwich was definitely the highlight, mac and cheese was kind of mid, and the salad was pretty good with a dressing substitute but was mostly just a bowl of spinach. The server was really kind and gave us a great tip on an indirect way to let her when we were ready to order. I think much of my negative review is due to the higher prices at what is mostly a bar, combined with them seeming to have gotten rid of their Happy Hour (but please correct me if I'm wrong!) We came here for a very early dinner during the week so were disappointed there were no specials, not even on drinks.

    Park Avenue Tavern hits exactly the right tone for a classic Manhattan night out--superb cocktails, upscale tavern food, and a bar atmosphere that's alive without feeling chaotic. We both ordered the Apple Cider Mule, and it was a knockout--crisp, well-balanced, and just the right seasonal twist to stand out. For dinner, I went with the Tavern burger and sweet potato fries. The burger delivered--juicy, flavorful, and executed exactly as you'd hope in a place like this. Only knock? The sweet potato fries. They lacked seasoning and felt a bit too frozen section instead of chef-driven kitchen. Not a dealbreaker, but noticeable given the rest of the experience. The vibe was classic Manhattan bar energy--loud, upbeat, a mix of locals and after-work crowds. Service was excellent--attentive without hovering, and they managed the pace well even on a busy night. Final verdict: Absolutely recommend, we will definitely return. Just maybe skip the sweet potato fries and focus on the cocktails and mains--they know what they're doing where it counts.

Servers seemed a bit annoyed to have to deal with us shortly before close as I think they were hoping to usher people out and close down maybe a little early. One the one hand I get it, on the other hand you've got two paying customers on a slow night.

Patent Pending is has such cool speakeasy vibes, think dimmed lighting and candles at each table in a very intimate space.

It was dark when we entered the coffee shop but an ajar door gave way to the bar. The decor is a homage to the works of Nikola Tesla, which can be seen in the subtle electric theme throughout the space and the naming of the cocktails. The space isn't too large - the bar and stools take up most of the space but they also have some booths/tables. The place looks great. The cocktail menu is very creative - I got one of their seasonal mixes that was actually two drinks in one. The main cocktail was meant to be sipped first and they provided a small glass of beer to be sipped after. The name escapes me but it was very good. Since we had cocktails at dinner, we only stayed for one round. Service was good, and overall I enjoyed my time at Patent Pending. I would definitely return to explore more of their menu.

The mint Moroccan tea gave the drink a cool, refreshing taste on every sip. I also tried the Silver Screen, the closest drink I could find to an old fashioned. It was interesting, there was definitely a hint of a buttery taste. Overall a really balanced bourbon drink. I walked in and found room at the standing tables.
