Restaurants near Joseph Rodman Drake Park

Last night was my second time dining at Hoexter’s and both times have been lovely. I went to dine on my own last night and I felt very taken care of by everyone working in the restaurant from the hosts to my waiter! I was 40 minutes late due to traffic and they immediately switched my reservation to a later time for me and completely downplayed my lateness when I arrived to make me feel better. The service is exceptional and so is the food! I enjoyed a very solid lychee martini, the exceptional Gorgonzola garlic bread (my favorite and the main reason I needed to come back), the steak frites (the fries are so so good and the steak was perfectly cooked), and the cookies and ice cream for dessert (love the mini cookies). Thank you to everyone at Hoexter’s for a lovely evening!

A perfect lunch celebrating our wedding which had taken place at Ladies Pavillion in Central Park. The food was excellent and the service was exceptional. A special thank you to our server Clay who was outstanding and made it a very memorable afternoon.

This time the occasion for our dinner was our 20th wedding anniversary celebration. The food was delicious and the entertainment by the jazz quartet was wonderful. The singer happened to sing the song that walked me down the aisle to my husband - could not have been more perfect. Also, FYI, the sound level of the band was just at the right noise level. You could hear all the beautiful music and still talk to your partner in a normal tone - as a result there is no excessive noise in the dining room. Bravo to the management. The restaurant also treated us with a lovely dessert accompanied by a candle - nice touch. We are Harlemites and will surely be back.

This was a date with my two 8 year old grandson. It was nice experience the 2 host worked very hard to serve all the clients. Running from check in to serving the food. My grandsons were so hungry they wanted the food immediately 🤣 Otherwise it’s a very nicely idea the music was nice, the valentines decoration was nice ,the crowd was nice too. My boys love chicken rings and French fries 😃

It was a cute valentine days experience. It was my first time doing this and the staff made the experience worth it. White Castle is such a classic. It was a great experience.
