Temple Court at The Beekman is a true New York dining treasure. We started with the Mushroom à la Grecque and Burrata, both beautifully balanced and flavorful. For mains, the Roasted Salmon was crisp and delicate, while the Braised Lamb Shoulder was rich, tender, and deeply satisfying—both paired wonderfully with a Michele Perillo Taurasi 2010. Dessert was a perfect duet of Panna Cotta and Almond Financier, elevated further by a glass of H&H 15 Year Old Madeira. Attentive service and the stunning Beekman setting made the evening unforgettable.

This place is exquisite, from the food to the service everything is out of this world and Johnathan one of the bartender is super nice and makes amazing cocktails. Definitely coming back

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.

TLDR: Slow service, good food, sick ambiance. The restaurant itself is super inviting and pretty (look up!). Food was quite solid, but took a while to get served (on a weekday afternoon in a fairly empty restaurant).

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 were here for the Beekman hotel, but we were surprised that the food were excellent here. It was the restaurant week, and we got to sample the varieties from cold dishes to desserts. In general, the food was well prepared, especially the roasted Cod and grilled Hanger steak. Very disappointed at the tuna Crudo due to fish quality, hrs to chew! The service was a little untrained in the restaurant area, but they were very nice people. The broken couch and sagging seating made me downgrade the atmosphere. The place was beautiful by default!

Beautiful ambiance and stunning architecture throughout the restaurant! Service was quick and friendly. We ordered the sea bass, steak, lamb shank, and octopus. The bass and steak were delicious (a bit on the smaller side, but expected). The octopus was a little tough and the lamb shank was extremely salty - a real letdown considering the price. Overall, still a solid spot for a special occasion, would just order differently next time!

Absolutely beautiful atrium. The food was just averaged and takes a long time to come (we had the Beekman breakfast there), but remember you are not going there for the food. You are paying for the amazing atmosphere. It would probably be a nicer place to go get a drink in the evening and chill out rather than a breakfast place.

Location & place itself is nice. In my opinion the food is decent, but nothing special. Stake was chewy as an old cow. Service (waiter) at least should be trained to memorize simple things and understand that if customer place appetites and main course together, appetizers coming FIRST.)). And for "desert" : in the bill, if you look closely -- 18% suggested gratuities from total due of your bill is $3.50 more from actual number, (?!)

Food was decent but the service was poor. Starting from how long it takes to seat you even with reservations. We made dinner reservations and arrived 5 mins before seating time. Waited 20 mins to be seated despite empty tables in the dining area.. Food and check were also very slow to come out, so if you're planning a work meeting/ catch up, think about how long you want to dedicate to it. On a brighter note, the French toast on the breakfast menu and the juices were amazing. The scallops for dinner was also pretty good. Just come knowing you'll have to wait for everything.

Really unimpressed. The cod and octopus were decent, but the rest of the food was over seasoned and underwhelming. The service was very strange, the cocktails and apps came out late and then it became claustrophobic and rushed, clearing plates while we literally had forks raised to our mouths and were still eating. The cocktails tasted like boxed juice and the desert like cheap cocoa and gelatin. We were there for a special occasion that I marked on the reservation and confirmed via text, it was never acknowledged. Perhaps they are better when it’s not restaurant week, but the place appears to be a tourist trap and does not live up to other fine dining experiences in the area.

Had breakfast here and got the egg white omelette, which was quite bland overall with the exception of a marinated tomato that was the highlight. Desperately needed salt pepper and hot sauce. The service was slow and we didn’t get any water refills. Pretty expensive too — $40 total for an omelette with tax and tip.

This is the worst service I have experienced in this city. Temple Court is absolutely abysmal. The wait staff took 45 minutes to bring our first round of drinks. We ordered a bottle of champagne too, did that come? No. After another hour, a manager came and asked if we ordered a bottle of wine. We eventually ordered another round of drinks (what a mistake), which took an additional 30 minutes!!! Then another manager asked if we ordered wine (again), to which we said no, champagne. Eventually another server came over and again asked if we ordered wine! We corrected her again, just asking for the bottle we ordered. 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.
