We've been to the BPG many times and have rarely been disappointed. The setting inside Bryant Park is always gorgeous and it's a pleasure to dine in the covered outdoors patio in the summer. The menu, while not exactly groundbreaking, is always varied and satisfying. We would recommend the crab cakes, the grilled octopus and the mussel toasts. For dessert, the olive oil lemon cake was delicious.
What an amazing spot - my fav meal in NYC. Steak frites were perfect, alongside delicious cheesecake and sangria cocktail. Great views of the park. Was lively without being too loud or overwhelming. Server was super lovely and attentive. Would absolutely recommend!!
Great spot for dinner. The hen of the Woods appetizer was delicious. My entree was well seasoned, but could have been warmer. The apple dessert was OK - crust was too dense. Service was great and good size pours on the wines!
