The food was DELICIOUS! 5 stars easily. The service was fine — did the job but had to wait and didn’t get drink refills, etc. The lamb chops, scallops, lobster tacos, and spanakopita were AMAZING!!

The location was perfect with stunning views of the Hudson and the Statue of Liberty. There were options for indoor or outdoor dining. Both were lovely. That night we opted to sit inside due to the strong winds, however both areas were in beautiful settings. The service was perfect. Our waiter Julian was attentive, made good recommendations and was always checking to see if everything was to our satisfaction. The food choices were absolutely delicious. There were 4 of us and we tried the mixed seafood dish, filet mignon, grilled salmon and Seabass. Everyone loved their selections. There was a wide variety of cocktails and wine as well. And the Molten Chocolate cake was perfection, which we all shared. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Things that stood out to us. Our server was phenomenal and they were quick to act when it started raining on us. Being sure to move us inside where we would be comfortable. The server knew just the right timing, was attentive without being overbearing. The presentation and taste of the food was amazing. The corn creme Brule was a unique and delicious spin on a favorite classic dessert. The view was romantic and simply amazing, especially at night. Despite the tables being close together, it still felt romantic and intimate. We surely we be back again!

Beautiful atmosphere and good food. We came three years ago and unfortunately experienced the same issue where the service starts out fantastic and then takes a complete nose dive. We weren’t getting water refills, we didn’t see our waitress anymore. Probably will not be back a third time. There needs to be a more attentive wait staff and more attention paid to the customers.

I was surprised when told no substitutions. I understood why when the Brussel sprouts was only three small halves. But my 3 lamb chops were good size and delicious.
