Gift Tips

  • Reserve a table if the plan includes a Friday or Saturday evening visit, since the dining room has an intimate layout and fills up quickly.
  • Ask about the gluten-free options early in the meal, especially if someone in the group has celiac or other dietary needs, because the menu is known for being especially accommodating.
  • Try the classic comfort dishes and chef-inspired specials side by side; plates like pot roast, bolognese, risotto, and seafood entrees are popular choices for a fuller experience.
  • Sit on the outdoor patio when the weather is nice for a relaxed Park Ave dining experience with a neighborhood-bistro feel.
  • If cocktails are part of the outing, ask the bartender for a recommendation based on bourbon, martinis, or tequila, since the bar is a highlight of the space.
