Alligator Pear (Now Tara Mor)

Amidst the hustle and bustle of Penn District, this restaurant (or bar) offers a unique atmosphere with its spacious layout filled with flowers and greenery. The classic burger exceeded expectations—it was absolutely delicious. The salmon dish was also perfectly balanced, served with asparagus and risotto, adding just the right touch of flavor. Warning – The restaurant has changed its name, so it might be a bit tricky to find.

Excellent bar in Midtown, close to Penn Station. I love their martinis and their fries — they also have an extensive list of cocktails — with probably the best bistro burger in the city! I’ll definitely need to come back

Solid! I took a gamble on a place I never tried before when family popped into town. The food is pretty appealing but not exceptional. I got the bistro burger which was fine, they cooked it to the right temperature which I appreciated. Overall what I really valued was the service which was excellent. I was also able to make a reservation pretty last minute on a Friday night and we got seated immediately. We had kids in our party (they took the photos don’t judge) and they even enjoyed it.

A dream come true venue, culinary and experience! Food 11/10 Service 10/10 They do make you order everything upfront but it’s great service, loveliest ladies serving & hosting. Drink 10/10 and those beignets 100/10 😋 I had to order another bag of them! (I never do that!) Gorgeous ambiance, high ceilings, wonderful hostess, doorman, 20/10 music and psa system 🎵 and worth every single dollar, weight gain and liver ache! I rarely repeat places especially plates but I wanna go back and eat and pay for everything all over again

To start, we ordered the Cheese & Charcuterie Board—an excellent choice. For the main dishes, we enjoyed the NY Strip Steak and Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo. Every dish was outstanding, truly the best we've had. The ambiance was beautifully designed—both elegant and relaxing—and the service was absolutely superb. Highly recommended!

Just went at lunch thinking they only had dinner meals in their menu: but they had mentioned something about rebranding the restaurant and showed me the lunch deals. Food: I bought the Pan Roasted Atlantic Salmon. It was excellent and tasty! Service: The hostesses (2) in the front were very helpful and accommodating with great authentic personalities! Atmosphere: Very bougie and elegant 👍🏽 Critique: They could save money with the packaging. It was very nice but not necessary. I'm guessing a marketing tactic. Will come back!

We went to the bar, which has another naming already a week ago. The service was great, but food tasted … okay. And it was a little disappointment, because the appearance of steak/tuna tartare/lobster roll was amazing but everything had lack of taste, probably lack of spices (I wanted to add salt everywhere), maybe using of another ingredients, but we were sad in the end. However, crème brûlée cheesecake was one of the best in my life.

Delighted I came across Alligator Pear on a random stroll through the city. The drinks, food and vibes were all of the highest standard. Everything was quite simply extraordinary. The hosts and my servers took care of me from the moment I entered to the moment I left. Jane, Cara and Ali (I think) went above and beyond. 10/10 will be back for sure!
