Talula's Garden sits behind an unmarked entrance in Washington Square West, opening into a garden courtyard that gives the restaurant its name and its setting — dining rooms and an outdoor garden built for year-round use. The cooking is seasonal American with a Mid-Atlantic bent, built on local, farm-sourced ingredients.
The Master Class flight of six artisan cheeses, served with candied nuts, honey, and house-made jam, anchors the menu alongside dishes like hand-rolled ricotta gnudi, slow braised lamb bolognese, and seared sea scallops with shrimp over saffron-tomato risotto. Brunch runs from shrimp and grits to eggs royale and buttermilk fried chicken and waffle, along with a short rib steakhouse burger.
Reviewers consistently point to the service and hospitality alongside the seasonal menu changes, and the restaurant has built a reputation as an upscale date-night destination. The Infatuation scored it 8.1/10.
