Best Cozy Restaurants in Cliffside Park

This was our first time visiting and we did a horse drawn carriage ride through Central Park before our reservation since Tavern on the Green is just on the edge of the park. It was beautifully decorated for the holidays and stunningly gorgeous inside- even better than I’d imagined. The food was delicious and service was very attentive. I really could not have asked for a more perfect dinner experience for myself and my family! Thank you Tavern of the Green for such a great dining experience!

Food was delicious. We went during their jazz night. Band was lovely and played some classics. Small crowd, intimate setting depending on where you chose to sit.

Great ambiance and vibe, Nice small bar upfront. Long narrow restaurant, typical of NYC. Limited menu but all offerings are well prepared and delicious. Extensive (and mostly expensive) wine list but there are some values here and there if you look for them. Overall, well worth going back.

Today the food was, as always, delicious. I had the frisée salad and a side of fries. My friend had mussels with frites. But I want to write about the great staff. EVERY person I encountered - from the maitres’d to our waiter to the support staff - was bright and cheerful and extraordinarily helpful. How can you not love a neighborhood restaurant like Cafe Luxembourg?

My group of 4 ladies had the best experience at this restaurant. When we arrived 30 minutes before our reservation Gio was able to accommodate us and seated us. He had the most pleasant disposition. Our servers Anastasia and Chris were attentive and provided excellent service. We were even treated to song sung by Chris. Kazi the manager even stopped by our table to ask how it was going and chatted with us a bit. I highly recommend this restaurant. Excellent food and service
