    No reservation availability. Walk in and at the right time as we were seated inside. A menu filled with American faire. I had the burger medium well with salad. I was delighted with the flavor. The sparkling water was refreshing. Bright and welcoming with seaying indoors and in an attached tent.

    While I was at the Botanical Gardens to see the Nightmare Before Christmas light show, I came with my friends to the Hudson Garden Grill. I had been there before so I know that the menu was something that I always enjoyed. I ordered a Coke and a chicken sandwich with fries. We also got fried zucchini to start. Everything was delicious. To be honest I wasn't quite sure what to expect from the chicken sandwich because it was the first chicken sandwich that I had ever eaten, but it was really good. I was surprised. The chicken wasn't too dry, and the sauce that it came with was really good. I'm always worried that when I order chicken it will be too dry combined with french fries because it's usually overcooked but this was perfect. I also spent the whole meal admiring the art on the walls and I wonder who did the interior decorating because it was beautiful.

    I have been a member of NYBG for the last 15 years or so and have seen a few versions of this restaurant. One of the things I love is that it has always been able to accommodate my various dietary needs. I am vegan and even though the menu has been updated recently it is still very vegan-friendly. I ordered the Cauliflower Crudo, 2 Golden Sun 75s (simple syrup substitute) and a gin/tonic. My friend ordered the Roasted Beet Salad and an Expresso martini. We both loved our salads and enjoyed our drinks. The decor is always beautiful and the staff is always friendly and knowledgeable. A special nod goes to Mama/Mami she makes one hell of a salad (we watched her make like 50) and thanks to Jessica for her great customer service.

    Have been here twice with my partner, once as a walk-in with outdoor seating, and once with a reservation for inside. Overall a good restaurant, nice menu based on seasonal, fresh, local ingredients but some issues with service especially when we sat inside on a busy weekend. Our first visit we had a burrata appetizer, spring veg gnocchi and a short rib that were all wonderful, tasted very fresh and really highlighted the seasonal veg. The service was great for the patio as well. Our most recent visit was memorial day weekend, and it was definitely busy and put a strain on staff. We had reservations for indoor dining but the host (very politely, but still) tried to offer outdoor seating as their indoor seating was pretty full. We were able to sit inside at our reservation time, and we enjoyed the clean atmosphere of the indoor space with the large photographs of NYBG trees. However, service was definitely not as good as our first visit. We put our order in for zucchini chips, a salad and a bacon cheeseburger within 20 minutes, but two couples who had been seated 30 and 40 minutes after us in our section were able to get their entrees before us. Our waitress did not acknowledge us during the hour long wait for entrees, apologize for the wait or say anything to us until after we had received our food. We did receive a complimentary brioche appetizer which seemed to have been sent from the host due to our wait, but still no acknowledgement of the wait from our actual waitress which was kind of weird to me, but she was attentive after we received our meal. Once the food came it was delicious and tasty-- salad was rich but not overly heavy, and the hamburger was cooked well according to my partner. The fries were thin, crispy and well-seasoned. Our dessert, the mocha mousse was delicious and had a good variety of textures with the layers and a good chocolate flavor. We were very satisfied with our experience and would definitely come again for the food, as of course it was a very busy Saturday so service was variable. It is pricey, and portions are not huge, so if you are wary about spending about $30 for an entree this may not be the best pick while visiting NYBG.

    It was a beautiful day to eat outdoors. I went there with my two college friends. One was vegetarian, and the other only ate gluten-free, so picking a restaurant or a menu can sometimes be interesting. We planned to have afternoon tea, but they stopped serving it, and we were disappointed. In any case, we had so much fun. After studying the menu, we decided to have tapas. We chose vegan and gluten-free options. The presentation was excellent. They all tasted so good that we ate too much and didn't have room for desserts. We also had Chamomile flower tea, which was an excellent choice. The flavor was fabulous. All of them were so tasty but if I was to pick my personal favorites, they were zucchini chips and Grilled Romaine Lettuce. I had no idea grilled romaine lettuce could be so tasty.

    Great place to come for food. But service super slow Pros: + Delicious light bites + You don't need reservations for off hours - but weekend lunch dinner yes you absolutely do. + Burrata - simple, but delicious Cons: - Wait for a few drinks and a couple of appetizers took almost 30-45 minutes plus the delay in the check

    Chicken sandwich with salad
    Dipali G.

    I came here for the orchid show and we made reservations to the Hudson Garden Grill which was a beautiful venue with decent food! Food: we ordered the burrata and an apple beryy cake to share and I got the chicken sandwich! We never ended up getting the burrata, which was actually kind of great bc the rest of the food was filling! The chicken sandwich was a glorified fried chicken sandwich that honestly was too greasy for my liking! I got the salad on the side which helped. Overall, the food was fine but nothing to rave about! Ambience: this place wins bc of ambience! It's beautiful inside and it is very upscale and classy! Service: service was good and they gave us a free dessert for my friends birthday! Price: for what the dinner was, I think it's very pricey - the chicken sandwich was $26 not including tax or tip!

    We were there for the Orchid Show early April, and made a reservation here b/c there were no tables available when we visited NYBG last yr. The interior was beautiful. We wereOctopus seated quickly by the wall, the view through the windows was just gorgeous! The food and cocktail menu had good variety. I ordered the pulpo, and it was grilled to perfection, tender and flavorful. My husband had the Hudson burger, and it was delicious, too. The service was good and friendly. Don't forget to make a reservation here when you visit NYBG next time

    Ratatouille

    At the New York Botanical Gardens in the Bronx, near the Haupt Conservatory, this upscale, over-priced restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating. Dress is casual. I enjoyed my tomato bisque, but they don't serve it, or their salads, with bread. If you want bread, there's brioche for $10. I also enjoyed my ratatouille, particularly the sauce. Friends ordered the salmon bouillabaisse, but they complained to us about the small portion and we didn't see any other fish or seafood with it (the way bouillabaisse is usually served). The coffee was served in small cups for $5 and there were no free refills. The waiter had an attitude, but his manager was gracious. It's a mixed bag, so nearby Arthur Avenue Italian restaurants and bakeries will be part of our next NYBG adventure. P .S. No more NYBG parking was available, so we parked across the street in Fordham University's lot for $22. Considering the entrance fee for the Van Gogh exhibition was $70 per couple (for us seniors), it was a pricey day, but the special exhibit, the full bloom of Spring, and nice weather made our memorable and photogenic excursion worthwhile, all things considered.

    The service is great very fancy for something in the botanical garden. The food is fresh and beautifully presented. The decor was classic and modern.

    Street Corn Chowder
    Lucia B.

    Make a reservation, today was strangely quiet but on a nice day this place is very difficult to get a reservation. Food changes seasonally and it is usually delicious. We got the street corn chowder, it was described as dry chili which is a bit misleading. We shared it and it was excellent. I am always a big fan of this place. Highly recommend it and the ambiance is a vibe. Servers are a hit or miss, usually a hit.

    Beet Gazpacho

    Three stars for the beautiful room. 1 star for food. The Hudson burger was impossible to pick up to eat with a roll that was drenched and falling apart. The country salad was drowning in the dressing. No one came over to see how everything was.

    Crispy Chicken sandwich
    Ro R.

    I didn't want to go to the take out places to eat, and so I found this place through Yelp and decided to find my way here when I was here for a winter exhibit. I like their burger better than what I ordered, which was the crispy chicken sandwich. It was just too hard to eat. The fries were good and I ordered their Ginger Smash drink that was so refreshing.

    Do we have to purchase ticket for NYBG in order to dine here? We only want to dine here and don't plan to visit NYBG. ** Update: I've called NYBG, and they said I don't need to buy NYBG ticket. It contradicts with people's answers. Confused.

    I dined here without a ticket with a reservation.
