Serving French brasserie and American fare, The Terrace and Outdoor Gardens is the perfect spot for an upscale date night or an intimate dinner with friends.

The Terrace and Outdoor Gardens offers a tropical hideaway in the heart of buzzing Manhattan. Upon arrival, guests are greeted by a lavish dining space filled with lush greenery. With ambient lighting and modern interior design, this setting makes for an elegant meal. Chef John Fraser takes contemporary cooking and American culinary practices to create a menu that is both unique and delectable.
Their new spring menu is the perfect introduction to classic seasonal flavors. For plates to start, the Liona Burrata features prosciutto San Daniele, paired with blueberry mostarda and arugula. The savory and sweet elements match exceptionally together. The Tie Dye Lettuces offer another divine fruit component, featuring blackberries paired with roasted beets, aged goat cheese, and pistachios.
The Grilled Octopus Salad is another menu must-have, featuring tender octopus, Campari tomatoes, celery, and jalapeños. A staple plate for the table is the Deep-Dish Focaccia, with melted smoked mozzarella and spiced tomato. Don’t forget to add the whipped ricotta and eggplant caponata for a pleasant addition to the bread.
Moving onto entrees, for a delicious vegetable-centered dish, the Primavera pasta is both light and flavorful. Another great menu item is the Steak Frites, which features a hanger steak topped with chimichurri, giving it a bold and rich flavor. Paired with skinny fries, this is the ideal classic dish with a touch of sophistication. Honorable mention for the Split Bone Ribeye, which is both juicy and tender. Pair this dish with their mashed potatoes and a side of truffle butter or hollandaise sauce to give the steak a delightful flavor.
Any of these dishes pair wonderfully with the restaurant’s extensive wine and cocktail menu. As well as The Terrace’s dessert menu, which is the perfect ending to finish off your meal. The Strawberry Pavlova, a new menu item, is a crème fraiche with strawberries and basil, to create a refreshing and light taste. For a dessert cocktail, their new Aphrodite’s Cup is a wine berry sorbet with Pierre Fernand and Mommenpop grapefruit sparkling rose, topped with pomegranate seeds.
