Came here for a wedding. The hors'd voeurs were quite tasty and plentiful. The staff was very nice. The dinner was good. I had the beef medallions, which were tender and juicy. The woman had the fish, which was wayyyy over cooked. That's unacceptable for a wedding! Oh well. The coffee service left much to be desired. Overall, it was a beautiful wedding, and run pretty well. I'd recommend, but not at the price point they are putting it at. You're pretty much paying for the amazing view, which is worth it if you got it! read more

I went here today for a business lunch. It pretends to be fine dining, but really seemed more like a white table cloth tourist trap. The view was the only plus, which looks out south over the harbor. I had the tuna tar tar, which had way too many pickles in it. The Chilean Sea Bass was good eats, but when is it not? It was severed with a port reduction over rice - nothing interesting or memorable. read more

Beautiful views of The Statue of Liberty and Governors Island. I've been here a few times for work happy hours and it's always a blast. Few different seating options. They have outdoor tables and bar as well.They also play music from time to time. It's a good place to have an after work function. read more

Went for a baby shower- mediocre food, extremely small portions, ok service....best part is the ambiance and considering we were inside it wasn't anything special. read more

Very sorry to give three stars. We went for a brunch party over the weekend for about 100 people. Venue on the second floor was totally beautiful--- fabulous harbor view, beautiful room and place settings,and a very friendly and accommodating staff in spiffy uniforms eager to please. So far we're easily at five stars. But the food was a surprise and great disappointment. It wasn't bad or unattractive, just surprisingly ordinary. My first visit, but if this is representative, they need a chef to match the surroundings, at least as far as brunch is concerned. There was nothing memorable about the food -- for example, my challah French toast wasn't warm, the frittata slices were ok but small, lox was a bit dried out, and the pastry was not top quality. The chicken sausages were nothing special. Maybe 3.5 stars is a better rating, taking the great setting into account. read more

The food I did not get to try because I waited over 1 hour for hamburgers for me and my guests. The server just stopped coming back to our table and sent out a manager to tell us the food would be another 45 minutes and that the drinks we are having were on him. I understand places have bad days but everyone else around us was getting served so it's not like they were having staffing issues or something. I wont go back there - the only great thing about the place was the view. read more

We just had a few glasses of wine while we enjoyed our quiet sunset in the outside seating area. The wine was great and the view was amazing! Will visit again for sure. read more

My girlfriend and I went to Battery Park to have a picnic, it was such a nice time. There were so many happy families frolicking around and everyone had a joyous time. This is a really nice place to take a SO or just to relax and throw a frisbee with some friends. I recommend this place to everyone! read more

Had lunch with my wife and daughter and it was a wonderful experience. The owner Paul (Uncle Pauly) came over to the table and gave us first class service. I had the Sea Bass which was absolutely delightful. My daughter had the bolognese pasta and my wife had the crab cakes and we were all very happy. At the end of the meal, Uncle Pauly took us into the kitchen and gave us a tour and then brought us a tray of desserts to share. Great food. Great ambiance. Great service. Great host! read more

Attended a holiday luncheon here the other day. Conveniently located just steps from the Number 1 Subway Line South Ferry station with a beautiful view of New York Harbor. The luncheon was buffet style and the food was not impressive. The bartender, however, served a mighty strong vodka and orange juice. Nice. read more

Typical Italian fare, beautiful décor and breath-taking views. Come here for a drink or several, but pass on the food. I didn't have a problem with the service but maybe that is because they gave us free rounds of grappa. Just treat it as a very spacious bar and you'll be happy here! read more

Lovely place, food is ok but the ambiance is amazing

Watching the sunset here is very nice and peaceful. A great place for a jog. Still needs a few places to be remodeled, but it is next to the Subway entrance. read more

Nice area for holding an event, and the people are quite courteous. Good view as well. The only problem is that its location is rather awkward and is hard to get to in the rain, as it's hidden a bit deep within the park. read more

Love the atmosphere here. Have had some really awesome food here. Can eat out doors with a awesome view of the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, & Governors Island. Or eat inside. Watch the Staten Island Ferry go back and forth. You never know who you may run into here. This place gets everyone from the Gottis, First Lady, Hollywood types, tourist, Lower Manhattan residents, to Embassy parties. If your looking to have a party there the owner "Paul" has hooked me and my buds up with some awesome events they helped us pull off. Only real draw back is parking, but they do have valet at night. But the parking is tough pretty much anywhere in the city. read more

My aunt and her fiance met here, so they are thinking about getting married here (how romantic!) So some of the fam went to check it out after brunch on Saturday afternoon, and it was lovely! While I can't comment on the food because we didn't actually eat there, we enjoyed a lovely bottle of champagne out on the deck area overlooking the water. I couldn't get over how peaceful it was right by the water, although I can see it getting pretty crowded in the evening! We all agreed, it is definitely an amazing place to get married in NYC, just not in the middle of the summer! I would definitely go back to check out the food and the night scene, and I would definitely choose to sit outside on the spacious patio! read more

Atmosphere: Nicely decorated inside. Can't say much on the waiting service, because I was attending a holiday event, but everything was clean, well put together, and the DJ played all of our requested songs. Food: Pretty good! Seafood, steak, chicken, and some vegetarian options available, buffet style. Drinks: Strong! Especially if you tipped the bartender :) Overall: Would recommend for a private event. Balcony, food, and drinks right on the waterfront makes for a great night out. read more

Boss took the new hires to this place for lunch today and it was a fun time! The place was pretty deserted for lunch (the weather wasn't amazing) and I got the 35$ prix fix Honestly for a pretty upscale restaurant the food was...decent. Our table was wobbly which already downgraded the high class experience from the beginning. The waiter quickly came over with a napkin to remedy the situation, but one look at my boss' face and I knew he really wanted to go to the Japanese restaurant around the corner. Nonetheless! Tuna tar tar came out and...it wasn't bad. The tuna chunks were not held together by anything. It was basically just tuna chunks, scallion, and soy sauce. Usually the tuna chunk is clumped together by some magical delicious substance but eating this with a fork today made me feel clumsy and took me about 10 minutes to finish the small appetizer. I stopped trying to pick up every little tuna piece because it just wasn't working. Main course of grilled salmon came out and once again it was...good but, just not that great. The salmon skin was crispy and very good! But then it didn't really stay on the rest of the salmon which I felt was a bit overdone. You do get a NICE chunk of salmon and a side of wasabi infused green mashed potatoes and seasoned tomatoes. The mashed potatoes were good with the seasoned tomatos and tomato puree but they didn't really go along with the salmon... Both parts were good on their own but it wasn't really something I'd put together on a dish. Co workers got the chicken and risotto selection on the prix fix menu and that looked muchh better. Ah, but the cherry bread pudding for dessert was delicious with perfectly sweetened whipped cream on top. By perfectly sweetened, I mean not very sweet at all, but it was a great compliment to the sweet bread pudding and candied cherries. Overall great time mingling with the new coworkers since the place was not very crowded and service was very attentive. Meal came out promptly and though the food wasn't ridiculously excellent, I was still quite satisfied :) read more

We just held our wedding at Battery Gardens over Labor Day weekend and it was PERFECT! The weather was beautiful, the view was magnificent, the decor was spectacular, the food was delicious and the service was RIGHT ON. Our guests never had to wait more than a minute for a drink from the bartenders... it felt like everywhere you turned there was a server passing by with hors d'œuvre... during dinner all of the guests' entrees were served at the same time... which is a great feat with over 120 guests! Our maître d', Eddie, was the best! He anticipated all of our needs... without us evening asking him about it! He had food set up in the bridal private room since he knew the groom and I wouldn't have time to eat during the cocktail hour. He had the servers set aside desserts from our Viennese Table just for the two of us, again anticipating that we wouldn't have time to eat dessert! I would recommend any bride to host their special occasion there! read more

Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful!!! Went for drinks once and for brunch. Five stars all the way. Amazing view, awesome food, management is the best, drinks are great, what more could you want!! read more

If you're visiting, this is a must place. Great location, really nice and attentive staff. I recommend to come at sunset, the view is gorgeous and the food and drinks are pretty affordable and tasty. You won't regret spending the evening here, that's for sure read more

Walked through in late December while most things are closed here. The grounds are well kept and look like they are just beautiful in summer time. Did not spend too much time here as it was cold and closed. But the views of the Statue of Liberty were nice. read more

This place is a very nice venue for a wedding or event. Don't go if you are just looking for a nice place to go for dinner and drinks. Went this past weekend and there was a wedding so we sat outside in the back behind it? The outside tables are ehh, they are just that "outside tables." I didn't want to stay to order a $50 dish to eat on a metal table. read more

After months of searching for a wedding venue, we found the most amazing place! We were slightly hesitant at the time because it almost seemed too good to be true - beautiful waterfront views, lovely inside, more than enough space for an outdoor ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, etc. for over a hundred guests, they had an opening about three months out (what we wanted), and it was super reasonably priced! Checked all the boxes, so what could be wrong? Nothing! It turned out to be everything we could have dreamed for and more!! Let me tell you about the 'more' part. We loved the venue like I said, the guests loved the food, the space, the outdoor balconies, beautiful views of the river, Lady Liberty, etc. We got many compliments on the food, everything was superb we heard from all. OK, back to the 'more' part. This is the part that none of the guests knew about it, but was so critical! This is a personal thank you to Michele at Battery Gardens, who we worked with from the very beginning. She is better than a wedding planner, she absolutely coordinated everything. Whether it was two months out or three days out, every time we saw her prior (tasting, day before, etc.) my confidence spiked that everything would go exactly as planned. She expertly guided us through step by step everything that we needed to take care of, everything that she was taking care of and all in between, like was it going to rain or not and contingencies being set. It's not easy dealing with parents who want a perfect wedding, and Michele handled herself with class the whole time, always made sure that we were on board and comfortable with any decisions. The day of the wedding she was super calm as timing needed to be adjusted, etc. But even then she was laser focused on making the day as beautiful as possible for us and all guests - we of course super appreciate that and can't thank her enough!! We highly recommend this venue and if at all possible, work with Michele! read more

This is a hidden gem in lower Manhattan, that I almost don't want more people knowing about. My wife and I were married here last summer and Paul and Michelle were both amazing to work with. Every detail was taken care of and the food was great! They handled the permit for our ceremony in the park and helped us to have an amazing day. We just went back last week for lunch on our one year anniversary, and the staff brought us mimosas as soon as we sat down. We split the filet and the dover sole and enjoyed both. We will make this our spot any time we are downtown. read more

Terrible service. Double charged me for a dinner. Thought I would not notice and tried to play it of when I called them on it. They fixed the bill. Then the restaurant automatically adds a 20% service charge to the bill so there is no consequence to the behavior. I did not add any additional tip (though they give you a chance to) and checked my credit card when I got home... they added an additional, unauthorized $15 to the bill. The place is a total scam. I would never go back. Had to dispute the fraudulent charges with my credit card company. read more

Nothing like ice cold Philly bred beer on tap when you're in town for a wedding on a hot summer day. Awesome! read more

Great outdoor views but 20% service added on and refills on drinks are $4 each on soft drinks! Be prepared to empty your wallet

There is a very casual outdoor "Beer Gardens" upper terrace area on park with pub food, a more formal indoor seating area that is apparently popular for weddings and events and a more "bistro-ish" lower terrace seating looking out onto the harbor and the Statue of Liberty cruises. Service was a little bumpy - I came in early to beat the rush and they seated me and then had to move me outside (no problem there - it was a lovely day) because the hostess didn't realize they were setting up for a wedding (?). But the view was lovely, the waiters attentive and the food very good. I recommend the $33 prix fixe menu (1 of 3 appetizers, 1 of 3 entrees, and your choice of dessert). read more

Scam? Never order wine glass(es) without asking to bring the bottle to pour IN FRONT OF yourself!!!: We ordered Australian Cabernet Sauvignon, the last line of Cabernet list on the drink menu, that was pretty much the only one sold by glass in the Cabernet section. I only order Cabernet or Malbec in any restaurant if I do, so I happen to know very well of these taste. What we drunk was disgustingly sweet, diluted, some cheap liquor mixed in some kind of alcohol, NOTHING LIKE CABERNET AT ALL. Although it was semi-dark outside but we were still very much able to see the color of the liquid: translucent pinkish I could almost see through the landscape across from the glass. The moment I tasted I knew it is not what we ordered but hey, my husband took me this place to celebrate very special day and I didn't want to make a big deal out of this. But, I must write this BECAUSE ABOUT 45 MIN LATER, I WAS RUSHED INTO DOWNTOWN PRESBYTERIAN HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOM FOR FOOD/ALCOHOL POISONING!!! Sandfull of Robster rizotto: I also ordered Robester rizotto, which tasted absolutely delicious, except I chewed sands EVERY SINGLE BITE of the rizotto... Again, my husband planned specifically tonight to take me here to see the statue of Liberty and beauty of the sunset, so I decided not to make a fuss about it. UNTIL I COLLAPSED ON THE STREET BECAUSE OF THESE CRAP. At first, I didn't know what was happening to me and I thought I was suddenly dying as it has never ever happened to me before, although I have been so far pretty in a good health in my entire life. I felt extremely dizzy in a matter of second, then all the sudden started to sweat in my face and body like a waterfall, and stomach and lung area started to ache excruciatingly, couldn't breath and fell on the street without being able to move, throwing up. You might think I drunk a bottle or two, but no, due to the taste and suspicion, I drunk less than half of the glass and left the rest. After all, we found out the check confirmed that what we ordered was "House wine" charged of the price of what we order, Australian Cabernet. We are contacting to the restaurant for the explanation for last three days since we come back from the emergency room but so far I haven't heard from them. As an animal lover, I don't want to mention about many cute well-fed rats running under the table and everywhere in outside seats, it makes me consider as a cause of food/alcohol poisoning. It supposed to be a celebratory milstone evening that my husband planned very well about me and location and scenery. We are extremely disappointed by the food, wines, and what happened, and the restaurant's non-response attitude and this whole situation. Battery Garden only proves that price never guarantee any of the quality, authenticity or service. read more

I had dinner with a friend here and the food was great! We had the crab cake, margarita pizza, and filet mignon. Everything was tasty and high quality. I had a few glasses of Malbec. The restaurant has a beautiful view of the Statue of Liberty. I would recommend this place to anyone. They do larger scale events and host wedding parties, family and work functions. Beautiful white interior. Reminded me of Being at a restaurant someplace on a Greek island! All white and beautiful! The dessert was also wonderful. We had a sampler-type dessert that had a mini cheesecake (YUM!) and an ice cream based dessert that was covered in chocolate. I ate the cheesecake because that's my fave! It was awesome. I will come back again for sure! Top quality, great food, attentive and friendly staff! read more

The place is beautiful inside and out, it's right on the water. The staff and the food is incredible. I am a regular here for sure. I take everyone I know in from out of town here to dine with me. read more

This restaurant has a great view of the river and Liberty....probably the best part of the eating experience. We felt the food was overpriced for the quality, the service average, and I later found they include 20% tip. Service fee aside, I still feel you can get better quality for lower prices in NY. I would definitely not recommend the crab cakes and Pad Thai. The fruit Trifle is worth trying. read more

Was here Saturday for a very good friends wedding. Was beautifully set up and the backdrop of the park and statue of liberty is really quiet amazing. The food was good, better than most but not the top. My only real complaint is that their scheduling department needs some work. In the upstairs area there was a sweet sixteen party. No problems with this but we shared the coat check and bathrooms. You can imagine how many times we had to Chace the kids out of our open bar downstairs. Just not something anyone should have to worry about on their wedding day. Needs to be some real separation in the party areas. Or staff needs to be posted up to make sure people and not joining a party or celebration that is not their. read more

Certainly has the best location, on a great summer nite it sure is nice looking out on the harbor. Food and dring are usually pretty good too. Only problem might be on really busy nites, I was there once when multiple parties were going on, and no one there (staff included) could figure out where to go ... will read more

Hadn't been here in probably over a decade because it was always disappointing. I figured with various changes of ownership perhaps this beautifully situated restaurant in a now dynamic downtown might have changed. False Hope. Impossibly this place has gotten worse. While priced liked a premier restaurant ($38 sea bass) food tasted like it came from a salad bar. Presentation was like a school kitchen. Basically there is no "chef" here. AVOID! read more

Mediocre food & far less than poor service. Ive had the steak salad (bit too much salt but otherwise decent), and various selections of the pizza. While the pizza was tasty and a solid 8 or 9, we asked for light cheese (my friend cant handle too much lactose-curse of intolerance) but they poured cheese all over it. It was odd because weve been here a few times before and the pizza was always just right when we asked before hand. Nbd but when we had to send it back because she would have been sick, the waiter was RUDE AS HELL. We explained the reason & said sorry about 5 times yet he grabbed the dish off the table and walked away. Didnt see him for at least half an hour and we were contemplating walking out. He shows up with a new dish and plopped it (not placed or handed with any sort of ease) on the table - just dropped it like couldnt be bothered - no words or interaction. Awkward and not acceptable. I've worked in restaurants, diners and delis-this kind of attitude would never fly in any of them yet this is dining location is in Battery Park where major financial institutions are located and residential real estate is high end. You would think that they would exhibit exceptional service for the type of clientele that is expected to frequent. We sat for another hour like idiots waiting for water or for another round of beer which we had to raise our hands for like we were in second grade. However, when the check was dropped, the waiter came by our table every 10 minutes like clockwork. Just extremely rude and unprofessional, a horrible experience all around. Any time we wanted anything we had to awkwardly stare down the staff because they all avoided us and whenever we received anything, it felt like it was being thrown at us. No matter how beautiful the view or how good the food, i would never come back just so that i'd never have the face the risk of having this waiter again. Truly don't think ive ever been so disappointed with any restaurant as i have upon my last visit here. read more

Table Green, the little sandwich shop is not quick and the manager was very rude when I approached about not receiving my order.

I had my daughter's bridal shower at Battery Gardens on May 5th-and it was wonderful. The venue looked beautiful. The food was delicious and the service was great. I worked with Donna Ahern on the planning and what a pleasure she was to work with. She made it so easy! Andrea V. read more
