Temple Court

“Eggs Benedict was excellent. A semi crispy white fish and potato patty over a spinach with creamy hollandaise sauce and 2 eggs. The hash brown was delicious too. So crispy and thick. The almond croissant, the filling was a little sweet for me and the texture of the croissant was ok.”

“​⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ​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.”

“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.”

“tl;dr - The Wagyu. The cookie. Go. Just go. Temple Court delivers in a big way. ALMOST all the way through. We started with the Ricotta Agnolotti, served with morels, ramps and fava beans. It was excellent. Clean, well-constructed, and a strong signal of what the kitchen was capable of. Then came the main event: the American Wagyu Denver Steak with creamed spinach, hen of the woods mushrooms and bordelaise. This is maybe the best steak I've ever had. The quality of the beef is undeniable, but what elevated it was how every single element on the plate worked together. The richness of the creamed spinach, the earthiness of the hen of the woods, the depth of the bordelaise. Everything earned its place and nothing competed. It was a masterclass in how a great steak dish should be built. One honest note: my partner's Baked Halibut was a real miss. Flat, underwhelming, and genuinely not at the level of the rest of the kitchen. For a restaurant associated with Tom Colicchio, it was a surprising and disappointing low point in an otherwise strong meal. (Also the bread was underwhelming, but perhaps that's just being nit-picky). But then dessert arrived. The Chocolate Chip Cookie with marshmallow, graham cracker and banana miso ice cream is superlative. That is not a word I use lightly. The dessert alone would have been worth the trip. We are not exaggerating even slightly. Whatever you order, do not leave without it.”

“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.”
