Story

The Temple Court Building and Annex, at 5 Beekman Street, New York City, reopened in August 2016 as the Beekman Hotel following extensive renovations.The structure was designed as a red-brick and terra-cotta office building in the Queen Anne, neo-Grec, and Renaissance Revival styles. The original structure was begun in 1881 and finished in 1883, with an attached annex constructed between 1889 and 1890. It was commissioned and originally owned by Eugene Kelly, an Irish immigrant who had achieved wealth as a dry-goods retailer and banker. The firm of Benjamin Silliman, Jr. and James M. Farnsworth were the architects.The building’s most noteworthy feature is the atrium rising through all nine stories and crowned by a large pyramidal skylight. In the 1940s, walls were erected on each floor to enclose this court for fire-safety reasons, hiding the atrium, railings, and skylight from public view. Those walls have since been removed, revealing the skylight and the atrium with its elaborate wrought-iron railings.Temple Court was purportedly "modeled after a building of the same name in London" that was part of the Inns of Court. It was intended to attract lawyers as tenants, although a 1942 article says that by then the lawyers had moved out because of the declining neighborhood.The adjoining annex, built between 1889 and 1890 at 119-121 Nassau Street, was designed by James M. Farnsworth, who had already established his own practice separate from his partnership with Silliman. The annex has a limestone facade in a Romanesque Revival style.

Wanted to try this newish restaurant in the stunning Beekman Hotel for a birthday brunch. The Atrium of the hotel is beautiful by the way for casual cocktail and drinks. The casual but classy restaurant was the perfect ambiance for the birthday girl. Our server was cordial and attentive. The brunch menu looked delicious. Everything came out perfectly plated and water always refilled when needed. There wasn't much to complain really. I felt the portions was just right. Service was as expected for this type of restaurant. I'm looking forward to trying the restaurant across the hall.

Great food and flavors. Enjoyed the black bass subtle flavors. Dessert: had the peach tarte Tatum which was perfect. Great service. I am picky but have nothing to say that could improve my experience. Recommend it and will to back

Not so busy for Sunday brunch. Very classy place with great cocktails and food. Probably better for dinner. Avocado toast was the best I've ever tried

Disappointing For a restaurant of the class I expected to be exceptional food but was generally disappointing. Food at best was Luke warm and this wasn't helped by the lack of service from our waiter.
