Inside Park — Restaurant in New York

A great place, depending on what you are looking for. Just had a wonderful meal here, but it was not the food that made it special. The food was fairly average (and had some issues along the way), but all in all I had an excellent experience.

First, weather permitting, one has a choice between eating outside or inside. As it was cool outside, the bar and dining area was covered by a tent, and the sound was loud to say the least. Inside the building, as perhaps befitting a restaurant at a church, it was almost silence. Also, there is a soaring ceiling. The atmosphere is not elegant, but a solemn refinement.

The rolls to start out the meal were soft, tasty and slightly warm.

For the main courses, we had the good short ribs (which could have used some more sauce), some good crab cakes, and a fairly good, but not extraordinary burger. I prefer my burger without any extra sauces, but just fried onions. They nicely were able to accommodate me. I specifically asked for a plain burger with onions and without cheese. Well it came with cheese. Sent it back and it came medium when I wanted it rare to medium rare. Sent it back again and it was medium rare in parts and medium in others. On the other hand the french fries were fabulous. They were very moist and with skins. The way I like them. Delicious. Anyway, they were very nice and did not charge us for the burger. Not only that but they brought us all a lovely dessert wine with our dessert. That is superb service! Not only that they were so friendly and apologetic.

For dessert I wanted the cheesecake, but they were out of it. I had to "settle" for the Italian cookie plate, which was actually very good.

All in all, a great evening and I look forward to going back (although will have to think twice about the burger. Note, they also have an Impossible Burger, which I might try if I had a friend to split the regular and the Impossible with and who wanted both rare to medium rare with...

My girlfriend and I were at this restaurant on 12/15/2021. We dined later in the afternoon, after lunch and before the time dinner is usually served. The young women who received us were friendly and gracious. We dined in the comfortably heated tent by their Christmas Tree. They accommodated us with our table of choice. It was simply beautiful, scenic, spacious and quiet. And...I can't say enough good things about our waiter, Samnoon "Sam". At our request Sam brought us the dinner menu, rather than the snack menu--which is usually served at the time we arrived. Sam was polite, professional, attentive and made us feel like we were the most special people there. He added so much to our Christmas celebration. The seared Spicy Salmon, which I had, was delicious and cooked to perfection. My girlfriend had the Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes, which she loved. When people arrived for dinner we were not rushed out. As we exited we were wished Happy Holidays. So from start to finish our experience was just great! Thank you Inside Park at St. Bart's, your chef, and of course...

Stopped here for an outdoor dinner during Sept. after randomly driving past it. The outside set-up was captivating and my date and I decided to try it. We both had the salmon that night and it was the best salmon I have ever had. They made it with apricots and brown rice with a side of peaches. It was very unique and the flavors were honestly exquisite! We came here a second time the following week (I had the salmon again & my date had the steak burger). The service was great, our waiter was friendly and made a recommendation on a drink that my date enjoyed with the meal. There was an associate there (unsure if he was the owner or manager- I apologize for not getting your name if you’re reading this) who came by the table to greet us and checked in to see if we needed anything. The second time we were there, he recognized us, came by the table and talked for a bit. He was friendly and knowledgeable about the dishes they offer. I often recommend this place and will...
