AAA Diamond Inspector Notes
Located directly adjacent to the Brooklyn Bridge, a cobblestone drive leads to the lush garden entrance of this floating restaurant. An enclosed gangplank crosses over to a flower-filled dining room which commands a most incredible panoramic view of Manhattan. A satisfying prix-fixe menu offers variety, plenty of extra small high-end plates, and is of pure luxury all rooted in a resolute fine-dining tradition. Wagyu beef, foie gras, Colorado rack of lamb, black caviar, Nova Scotia lobster and sea bass all standout. The very nearby water ferry makes the short jaunt across the East River to Pier 11 on Wall Street most regularly. Please note that jackets are required for gentlemen.
