Best Farm To Table Restaurants in Woodland Park

We live around the corner and have been meaning to go here--Valentine's day felt like the perfect opportunity. Once you step in, you're transported away from the casual vibes of the Upper West Side and into an elegant fantasy that reminds you to treat yourself. Notable moments: The service here is perfect--our waitstaff were so kind, efficient, and helpful all the way through. They aren't stuffy and are, in fact, very human, but they provide that upscale service all the same. The food is gorgeous. The Valentine's prefixe was $75 a person. My partner got a plate of calamari as an app that was big enough to share, and the escarole salad I chose was lush and bountiful. Our pasta mains were well-portioned, not to mention al dente and seasoned to perfection. We also received two desserts for the pre-fixe price--both of which felt like gourmet iterations of homestyle favorites. It's kind of like this whole restaurant. The ambiance is relaxed yet upscale. My partner and I are by no means fancy people, and yet, we felt welcome! We saw people of all backgrounds and dresscodes come and go. There's a buzz of conversations around you, but it's not so loud that you can't have a conversation. The only slight discomfort we experienced was that our table was kind of wedged next to another table and the main hallway where the waistaff hung out--we assumed maybe they overbooked for the night and had to make new tables--but it was worth nothing more than a giggle and asmile once we realized. And hardly took away from the experience. Instead, it was a great vantage point for people watching and the perfect place for attentive service.

We were unaware of the pre-fix menu on Valentine’s Day. Compared to the their typical prices the pre-fix prices were inflated by $40 per person. Pre-fix was fine and we understand for the holiday, but $125/pp for a $20 app, $50 entree,shared dessert crème brûlée and cookie was excessive.

Another outstanding meal while visiting NYC. Found this chef owned restaurant with NY State wine list and amazing menu. I would have eaten almost anything on the menu. Ordered two starters to share: Spare ribs and Mac & Cheese with bacon. Just delicious! And filling. Theo recommended a great bottle of NY Cabernet. So glad we found this gem.

We had a wonderful meal at The Park. The wedge salad was large and delicious. As were the scallops and sirloin. Coffee topped off the night with a warm chocolate cake and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Looking forward to going back again for our next celebration dinner!

Great drinks, food and service. Will definitely be returning
