Fraunces Tavern

Anyone know how the food is there? I've heard the pub like atmosphere is very historic, but I'm wondering more about the food. Thank you!

    I really like the seafood cobb salad - its kind of pricey but a good version; although sometimes you can taste the iodine in the shrimp.

      I went with my boyfriend for my birthday and had a great time. The restaurant is obviously historic, but the food was good as well.

      Nice for a special occasion meal.

        The food is average to good. It's not pub fare--it's priced higher and aspires to be somewhat refined. During lunch it's largely a work crowd.

          Very average American fare. It is not bad but not great either. People usually go to "experience" the place rather than the food.
