Temple Court

Visiting NY for the weekend we had lunch here at the bar. Oysters are one of my favorites and I will order them whenever I see them on the menu. The East Coast oysters (Long Island) at this place are by far my favorite I have ever had!!! Still thinking about them days later. Burger and Eggs benedict were fantastic and the Old Fashioned drinks were also top notch. The ambiance was beautiful with live music. A great place to take a break and reset before heading back out to continue exploring the city. Highly recommend.

We had a great food experience at Temple Court. All dishes were perfectly made, and the atmosphere was great. The restaurant is very nice and chic. The only downside was that we had to wait 45 min to be seated even with a reservation, but they comped our drinks at the end, so it was well managed by the staff. Would 100% recommend

I’ll admit it—I’m a serious aesthetics-first person. For me, food always comes second to beauty. That’s why, on one of the coldest New Year days in New York, I traveled all the way from NJ just to step into the nine-story atrium of Temple Court. To be honest, what stopped me in my tracks wasn’t the menu—it was the architecture itself. The atrium is truly breathtaking. The nine-story vertical space naturally draws your eyes upward. During the day, soft daylight pours in from above; at night, warm lighting illuminates the lace-like iron railings layer by layer. It feels quiet yet dramatic at the same time. This isn’t a space dressed up to “look good,” nor does it have that lightweight, artificial Instagram feel—it’s simply how the building was meant to be. And that authenticity really moved me. Thankfully, the food lives up to the setting. Service was consistently polite and perfectly paced—classic, old-school New York professionalism. We ordered the beef tartare, tuna sandwich, and a latte, and everything was solid and comforting. The only small complaint: the chips served with the tartare were a bit too salty for my taste—but honestly, that’s a minor detail. I still loved the experience and would absolutely come back for dinner. One unexpected highlight: the restroom on the lower level. Yes, the restroom. From the lighting to the materials, it beautifully echoes the design language of the atrium above. It’s the kind of detail that makes you realize this is a hotel that cares not only about what you see—but also about everything else. To sum it up: At Temple Court, dining is just the surface experience. What truly stays with you is how architecture, service, and thoughtful details come together seamlessly. Highly recommended—especially for a proper sit-down dinner.

Came for restaurant week. Solid but not incredible. The meat and salmon was cook to perfection but the polenta side was nearly unexistent. The chocolate dessert was the most disappointing of all ( and we paid q7$ extra for it). The decor is grandiose and cosy at the same time. Good service. Good but too expensive cocktails.

​⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ​Temple Court is a total gem near the Fulton Transit Center. The atmosphere is sophisticated, and the team makes you feel welcome the moment you walk in. ​The service matched the ambiance; the staff was friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. I ordered from the prix-fixe menu, choosing the Ricotta Cavatelli and the Roasted Cod. Both were executed perfectly—hats off to the chef. While the portions were on the smaller side (typical for Restaurant Week), the quality was outstanding. I am definitely planning to return for a full dining experience soon. Thank you Temple Court. Great is your Artform.

Worth the Wait… If You Have the Patience Temple Court is the spot everyone tells you to check out, and honestly, they’re not wrong. Located inside the Beekman Hotel, It’s a total NYC staple with jaw-dropping architecture and atmosphere. Walking in feels like stepping into a movie set—grand, bustling, and packed with a true melting pot of diners: tourists, after-work locals, and people who just look like they belong on the scene. THE WAIT I came without a reservation (rookie move, I know) and, not surprisingly, had a long wait for a table. It’s NYC, so you roll with it, but bring a good attitude (and maybe a snack in your bag) because it’s gonna be a while. THE BAR The bar is a show in itself. Imagine bartenders furiously shaking craft cocktails while you’re basically auditioning for their attention. You’ll need to make strong eye contact, wave a little, and maybe channel your inner peacock to stand out. Honestly, it felt a lot like trying to attract a mate in the wild—tough work, but worth it once you land that perfectly mixed drink. THE FOOD Once seated, the food took a bit to arrive, but when it did? Totally worth the wait. Beautifully plated and full of flavor. Drinks were solid, too—creative and well-balanced. BOTTOM LINE Go for the atmosphere and the NYC experience. Expect a wait, bring your patience, and enjoy the show—both at the bar and on the plate.

We went for Christmas dinner. They had a prix fixe menu for dinner. It was a 4 course dinner. All excellent choices. The ambiance was excellent. The hotel and restaurant add a touch of class that is like no other. We are interested in trying their à la carte menu, next time when in the city.

Amazing restaurant. The food is fantastic, the setting is gorgeous, and the wait staff friendly. You pay for what you get, but if you want a great dinner, it is worth it. Located on the first floor of the Beekman. Reservations a must around Chriatmas, but the lights are magical.
