Profile

This venue is closed.

This legendary café rests on some pretty old laurels. Built in 1917, it has been a long-time New York favorite, lauded over the years as enchanting, romantic, and transforming. Nowadays, the features that endowed it with such qualities—old world elegance, painted murals of nymphs in the woods, a location in a prewar hotel just off Central Park, convenient to the established clientele—are looking a bit dusty. — Gabriella Gershenson

Extra

Private dining room with a full bar is available for parties of up to 14.

Our family was very sad to see this resturant close. We always looked forward to visiting during our trips to New York. I had the pleasure of meeting the owners and always felt comfortable and special. New York will never be the same. DWB - San Antonio Texas

latex glove in my ice cream

It is everything they say it is: traditional UWS, nice décor, stuffy--most people there are over 60...I would rather go with my grandfather than a date. The food was ok, nothing special, the service was so so but what really shocked me was the piece of rubber kitchen glove I found myself chewing while finishing my dessert. It was disgusting...vile...but what was worse was the restaurant's response. A brief apology, dessert on the house, and speedy delivery of the check in which we were barely compensated (at least we were finally able to get our waiter's attention). Overall, I understand mistakes happen, but their attitude was so horrid I would rather eat McDonald's than return here.
