I came to The Terrace and Outdoor Gardens as a little treat to take myself out to dinner before a concert at Radio City Music Hall, and I had the nicest time! The online reservation system wouldn't allow me to make a res for one person, so I called in. Afterwards I noticed that the reservation was set for seating at the bar (why would I call to make a reservation for that?) so I called again and spoke to Jessica who very kindly adjusted it for me.
Upon arrival, I was seated at a corner table that was tucked away amidst the beautiful foliage. As a solo diner I really appreciated the extra bit of privacy this gave me, while not feeling so tucked away that I couldn't enjoy the atmosphere. Which, by the way, was wonderful. Sitting in the "outdoor" (fully enclosed) section, you're surrounded by foliage and lots of natural light. The light that came in through the windows at golden hour was magical. It's really easy to forget that you're in the middle of Times Square!
I started off with a Next Day Air cocktail, which was tart, sweet, and refreshing and a burrata appetizer that came with fresh greens and crispy bread. For my entree I had the king crab pasta, and I really appreciated the option to order a smaller portion. Even though it was so delicious and I wanted more, this let me save some room for dessert. I had the matcha panna cotta which was light as air and so good! Not a single complaint about the food, I loved everything.
Lastly, the service was great. All of the staff was on point and super attentive- refilling my water glass, clearing the table of empty plates, even swapping out the flowers on the table for fresh ones.
I had such a nice time here and would definitely come back. Already recommending it to family and friends!
