i think i would've given this 3 stars as the food was perfectly good (though not spectacular), but it's 2 stars since the service left a lot to be desired. the ambience is great -- i mean, you're in the middle of the gardens on the grounds of the Frick -- but that is really what you're paying for. so if you're willing to spend a little more for an average sandwich or a very average tea service, you'll be able to enjoy the gorgeous grounds & take in the art afterwards or before. however, don't expect attentive or efficient service -- you'll be mostly left alone.
