Beekman hotel breakfast place located on the 1st floor is the same place of temple court. And the street entrance is from Beekman street. Quite pricey. Beekman breakfast which consist of 2 eggs 🥚 and choice of 🥓 or 🌭 cost $27. Smoke White fish with eggs Benedict also cost $27 and delicious. Presentation is excellent and friendly staff. As for dinner menu they have decent size and same friendly staff.

What a fantastic dinner we had here. We were staying here for the night, honestly mostly because we heard Tom Colicchio's restaurant was onsite. Temple Court has a wonderfully balanced menu, there is something for everyone here. Pictured here was the Mushroom A La Creque appetizer that was good enough to be a main course. Very nice, we ate way too much, the service was top notch, and we loved every minute.

My first time here on a Saturday at 5PM, I did not sit at the bar. The vibe here is chilled. Comes off a bit swanky, a bit snobby, but the folks that work here were friendly and patient.
The interior lends itself to something from the 50s but that's the whole motif for the hotel within which the bar resides. I didn't try any food but from what I "saw", it looked good. The Bar Room kind of reminds me of Nomad but not as crowded given these COVID times. Things picked up by six though.

Part of our NYC's Best Restaurant Dessert Series ~
Although we generally avoid the Financial District in our leisure time as we work in the area, it is a district with no shortage of fabulous restaurants, offering some of the best desserts in the city: e.g., Crown Shy, Manhatta, Augustine, The Fulton, Delmonico's.

Wrought in Art Deco-era architectural magnificence, this hotel holds a special place in our hearts because it opened the same year we arrived in NYC.

Come for the vibes and stay for the vibes because the food is underwhelming. It's not bad, but for the price we're paying I definitely expected better flavors and more finesse in the dishes. The food was not memorable except for the fact that my husband's pasta was over seasoned. A basic mistake that you expect at a fast food chain, not a upscale restaurant like this. We ate here because we had dining credits as part of our stay, am definitely glad we didn't pay for this disappointment out of pocket.

My absolute favorite in the neighborhood, probably in the entire city. The ambience is comforting and exciting at the same time. The architecture and aesthetics become conversation starters. Their cocktails are impeccable. I prefer their brunch menu with that delectable banana bread. For a light after-work grub this week, we were surprised by how sumptuous the hummus plate was.
They used to have jazz performances on Sundays, pre-Covid. Overall, a gem.

So I did the Three courses $95 with the Sommelier's Wine Pairing $55. You can do a three or four course for an additional $25. The wine is paired according to what you choose off the menu. There were 3 options for the first course. There was 4 options for the main course. And 2 options for dessert. The inside pretty with the hanging flowers. The rooftop was bare, not much to look at. You have to take two separate elevators and follow the signs to get to the restaurant.
I got the KING CRAB 'MELON BALL' ($10 SUPPLEMENT) for my first course, very little crab with melon balls. For

I took my husband to Temple Court on 10 for his birthday dinner, and it did not disappoint. It is a stunningly gorgeous space at The Beekman Hotel. It is intimate, romantic and worthy of special occasions.
We ordered the 3 course menu. My husband ordered the hamachi Crudo, poached lobster in a coconut lemongrass broth and cake. I ordered the King Crab and melon starter, the herb crusted halibut and cake. Everything was absolutely delicious. The service was fantastic - everything was good exactly as we had hoped.
We will definitely return, and are discussing hosting an intimate dinner with friends

Gorgeous restaurant and very prompt and polite service. We had a great time and enjoyed our very well crafted cocktails. I removed a star because it appears that instead of a four course menu, they only serve a three course. Unfortunately the size of the dishes have not been adjusted accordingly, and my dinner companion and I were both left starving at the end of the meal. I would hope they either serve bigger portions or return to a four course menu.

We had a lovely date night here! It's definitely not cheap, but we had a good experience. The room is gorgeous; it's like being in a real life secret garden.
We loved our drinks. My partners Coco's Old Fashioned was delicious, and I tried the 6pm in Osaka. They were both perfect, and we want to go back just for drinks!
For first course, my partner got the salt baked beets and I got the scallop tartare. The presentation was very nice and we loved both dishes. For second course, I got glazed lobster and my partner got carbonara of white asparagus. These were both good. For third

Beautiful place to have a drink and a light fare with people. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Seasonal menu although the cocktails rarely change. We enjoy coming to the Bar Room now and again for drinks and appetizers. Highly recommend the “Nothing but blue skies” and “British Vogue”. The oysters are always good. The calamari is also good but not enough.
On our recent experience we decided to have dinner and ordered the steak and seafood medley. Both items are pricey and quite frankly, save your money. The steak wasn’t seasoned enough and the seafood medley was sparse (two pieces of

We recently hosted our wedding dinner at Temple Court and it was stunning. Not only does the room feel so magical and inviting, but the staff made us (and our guests) feel so special. They made sure we had everything we needed, service was so prompt and even guests with special asks were taken care of quickly. And let's talk about the food - AMAZING. Our guests enjoyed the chestnut soup, the halibut or lamb and ended the night with a chocolate dessert of your dreams. We can't wait to eat there again soon! (photos by Sarah Sayeed Photography)

Went to Temple Court on Ten on the first night that they reopened and had an absolutely wonderful dinner. They have done a great job in transforming the rooftop to a lovely space for dining. The food was terrific - all three in our party had the exact same dishes and we all enjoyed every course - Scallop Carpaccio, Foie Gras Mousse, Duck Breast and Meyer Lemon Tart - not a miss!
The entire staff was warm and friendly including our server Forhad who was very helpful. Was really an outstanding complete dining experience!

The setting: 5/5
Gorgeous little dining area, heated, with decent spacing and air ventilation (door kept open was important, and gaps to the outside in the walls). The building itself is absolutely stunning. Classic NY architecture. This restaurant dining area is actually up on the roof and utilizes one of the penthouses.
The service: 5/5
Feel terrible for forgetting our servers name but he did a fantastic job (taller, slender, dark hair). Attentive, kind, knowledgable, made great recommendations... all without being pushy in the slightest. It's a difficult balance to expect from servers

We loved this place!!
I cant speak to the indoor restaurant, but the outdoor 'Covid' rooftop set up was amazing! They did a really nice job socially distancing the tables where we sat using planters with artificial foliage, roses and hydrangea. (oddly both sides of the roof top planters were different, but I am Landscape Designer - so no points off lol)
We felt entirely safe the whole time we were there. The server, Jose, was extremely knowledgable which made the evening even better as he guided us through our food and wine pairing.
The food was perfection! We started with the lobster

I wanted to love this place, but it's mediocre. However, the staff is 6 stars. They're the perfect level of attentive. They never make you feel rushed or overly hover around you. I wish there was a separate rating for food and service because there's a big difference.
Ambiance is lovely as well. Pretty restaurant. Now on to the food...
To start, I got the short rib ravioli and the foie gras. The ravioli is good albeit a wee bit salty and the sauce is heavy. I was hoping for a slightly lighter, fresher sauce.
The foie gras is great but I think coating it in nuts is a big mistake

What a lovely meal. Hands down one of the best we've had in FiDi. Everything exceeded expectations.
We came here celebrating our anniversary. For appetizer we had the hamachi crudo, pork terrine, lamb garganelli (must order!). Entree we shared hot smoke king salmon (devine) and dry aged ny strip. Everything was so delicious and portion was quite big. Exceptional service as well.
Highly recommend the garganelli and king salmon, would probably skip the steak next time.
It was very well priced for a fine dining place. Would definitely come back again.
