"Our not so smart phone had a bit of tricky time pin pointing us exactly but we found it and the view was amazing!! The staff was very attentive. The food was very tasty especially considering we had essentially ordered breakfast and it was better than your standard breakfast. The toast was even a multi grain which is the only option and it is a smart healthy choice if you desire the toast. If it were any warmer out we would have loved to enjoy the views from outside. We look forward to dining there again."

"A fine place for lunch. Reasonably priced with gorgeous views of the Hudson, the Statue of Liberty and Elis Islans. A friendly staff is also a plus. A good value."
