The Restaurant at Gilder

“Dining at The Restaurant at Gilder was an experience of its own! The burger was absolutely delicious and cooked to the perfect temperature. The asparagus salad was not only gorgeous—it was truly exceptional. My son loved the chicken tenders and fries and gave them his own “next level” approval! The service was kind, professional, and genuinely welcoming from beginning to end. A wonderful meal in an incredible setting. Thank you for making our experience so memorable! 🙏🏽”

“Perfect spot to grab lunch so you don’t lose any time exploring the incredible museum. You are able to put your name on, go browse:use the restroom and then receive a text once your table is ready. This to me was 10000% better option than any of the quick service cafes you can find throughout the museum. I did not have crazy expectations due to the reviews however I was impressed with the quality of the meal! I shared the chopped chicken salad as well as a burger. Both were super tasty with generous portion sizes and the service was fast and friendly”

“After taking the hour plus guided tour, I was ready to sit and have a nice lunch. The burger was most popular item on menu. It was good overall but fries were okay. Pricey meal for lunch but it was a treat on Easter Sunday.”

“I went at lunch time on a Sunday, and it was about a 20m wait for seating for just 1 person The staff at the front were very friendly/pleasant to interact with I ordered a few things since I wanted to try a variety of what they had to offer Peppermint tea - I’d asked if the peppermint was fresh leaves, and was told yes, but it was actually just tea bags. I didn’t really care to complain, but I think she realized at one point and asked me if it was what I expected. I said not really and she apologized. At the end she comped it without me saying anything Lentil soup - it wasn’t really anything special in my opinion. There wasn’t all that much flavor or seasoning to it, and it was very thin, compared to something like middle eastern lentil. The carrots, onions, and red peppers were something I’d not had in lentil soup before Roasted broccoli w hazelnuts and almonds - I wish all vegetables tasted this good. The broccoli was cooked perfectly and the little bit of sauce they put on it had a tiny amount of heat that was perfect. Would definitely get this again Short rib - The meat itself was very tender and cooked well. Unfortunately the sauce used was extremely salty and the rib/carrots were covered in it. The carrots weren’t cooked as much as I would expect, partially because the sizes varied so much. The larger ones were closer to raw, the smaller ones were cooked just right. The mashed potatoes were pretty good I wasn’t able to finish all of the broccoli/all of the mashed potatoes, so there’s a decent amount of food here The desserts were fairly cookie cutter. NY cheese cake, chocolate lava cake, and passion fruit yogurt. Nothing that I felt was worth the price All in all, with the tea taken off of the bill, after 20% tip it was $75. This felt quite steep, and there are many other restaurants I would much rather go to in NYC for that price. I’m glad to have had the experience but will personally not go again unless they make significant changes to the menu/pricing”

“This place broke my heart. I had made reservations, the service was impeccable, Michelin-like. But the food... I've never eaten such a sad excuse for a cheeseburger. The bun was as dry as the petrified bread in Pompeii, then I got a chocolate cake and surprise, surprise: dry, crumbly, went down like wet cement, tasted like nothing special. Price would have been acceptable if the food had been palatable.”
