We had a reservation for indoors but the music was so loud that we asked to be changed to an outdoor table. The staff was able to accommodate us on a busy night and 2 of us (out of 4) had a spectacular waterside view. Service was good and not rushed even though it was Saturday night. The downside was that my lobster tail was dry - almost inedible. The other entrées were just adequate (lamb chops, hamburger) but did not justify their prices. However, the appetizer of beef carpaccio was excellent. Positive: Great atmosphere with terrific view of Hudson River and NJ skyline, both inside and outside. Eating outside - weather permitting - is the way to go. Excellent service. Negative: Food, noise inside

Food was good but too pricy for what It was. It was my wife’s birthday and they didn’t bring her anything. There were other birthday celebrations and they received something for their birthday. We brought our own cake, they charged me a steep fee to cut it and they provided nothing for her. Service was very slow but servers were pleasant. Overall was good but could’ve been better.

The area the restaurant is in is beautiful. Can’t beat the view! The staff were very nice, service was slow. We did not get bread with our meal but were then asked. I ordered a dish that I believed to be gluten free (scallops and polenta) and let the server know that I had Celiac. When my meal came, they had switched out the polenta for mashed potatoes. I was disappointed that they had done so without asking, since polenta is gluten free and also I had ordered a potato side dish. Still, the meal was delicious. We did not have time for dessert due to the slow service.
