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.
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.
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.
They then brought wine glasses! What a joke. Instead of bringing coupes or flutes for the ordered bottle, which we confirmed multiple times, they gave us white wine glasses to drink champagne.
We did not have any crazy orders, no modifications or anything of the sort. This staff is beyond neglectful, forgetful, unprofessional, and none of them should have a job in service. They also consistently had attitudes every time they came to our table.
After we were subjected to this establishment’s utter nonsense for literal hours, they said “we have a reservation coming, we need this table.” Excuse me the only reason I have been here so long is because the staff cannot seem to serve us, fulfilling the bare minimum requirements of their jobs. Additionally there were plenty of open tables, just ridiculous. The managers could tell their staff was not doing their jobs properly, but did nothing to rectify the situation.
I will never, ever be subjecting myself to the absolutely horrible service at Temple Court. For anyone still reading this, go literally anywhere else in this great city not a part of this hospitality group. The owners should be mortified to have responsibility and oversight for such a poor excuse for a restaurant. It took all our self control to not cause a scene.
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.
The perfection of texture, aroma and taste all combined.
Worth the wait, worth every penny.
Absolutely give it a try.
Perfect place for a date.
