Gajtana SimonovskaMay 6, 2015The best views of Manhattan. Excellent service and old warm charm. The filet mignon was quite good, the mashed potatoes were flavorful and the house Chianti, enjoyable.
Darryl E.March 26, 2015The ambience and atmosphere in this restaurant was wonderful. Food was terrific. Service was great. Waiter was very attentive. I recommend this restaurant based on the view alone
Social News NetworkAugust 14, 2013The atmosphere and view of the city at night reflecting on the water is more worth the price than the actual food. The food is tasty and presented very well but there isn't much choice on the menu.
Olivia O.August 18, 2015The view is amazing! I wouldn't recommend sitting outside during the day. Its extremely hot and there is no shade or umbrellas to protect you from the sun.
Donnie PecorApril 20, 2010Another fine restaurant... incredible cuisine; ideal for a special occasion or event. The view is fantastic from every corner of the restaurant and they have a private ballroom upstairs for banquets.
Kevin KnoisSeptember 1, 2012Tables BY the window are just as nice as outside (& no bugs or wind). The food, view, & service were all excellent. I'll definitely b back.
Javier OcampoJune 8, 2015The views from this restaurant are beautiful and spectacular! Great location. Unfortunately, that's where the good things end. ALL of the food was unappetizing! Not worth the very expensive price tag
Miko GMay 12, 2014Food was good but wayy overpriced for the quality of certain dishes. View is amazing no doubt but that's about it. Staff ok. Not exactly bad service. Summary, overpriced, mediocre, with a great view.
Kaitlyn EMay 20, 2012Don't bother with the foursquare specials- they don't honor it! Great views of the city- I agree with another tip that the wait staff is SUPER creepy- def wont be coming back.
Whitney BruceSeptember 27, 2012food and service are horrible and the markup on wine is outrageous! the only thing they did right was the Steak and bread. But the vegetables and lobster were nasty. Complete waste of a lot of $
Alessandra BurtonNovember 25, 2012Do not leave your phone on the table. My phone was stolen while the plates were being cleared. Totally ruined my families Thanksgiving. Such a shame the view is amazing.- Alessandra BurtonNovember 25, 2012Whatever you do do NOT leave you're phone on the table. Mine was stolen when they were clearing the dinner plates. The managments response was even more disappointing. Thanksgiving dinner was ruined
Lobsters HudsonAugust 4, 2012Apparently none of the specials or newbie specials apply during restaurant week. Service sucks too.
Joynal RabNovember 14, 2011The service and food is pretty bad here -- the waiters creeped me and my friend out -- not worth the price -- that being said the view from here is pretty amazing though -- will not be going back!
Samar TariqMay 28, 2014You pay for the view. Service is good, but food is horrible. Very beautiful place, though.
Vanesa RodriguesFebruary 21, 2014Um lugar perfeito no crepúsculo do dia nova yorkino. Como vista para a baia.
Jb JbdcDecember 21, 2013La vue est incroyable mais le service et les plats sont misérables. Franchement a fuir et si possible attendre la réouverture du river café
