Overall pricing was average for a restaurant like this. The service was pretty good, Katie was very helpful and great at managing all of our orders well since it was about 10 of us.

However, there was a birthday downstairs I guess, while we were still eating which I thought was a bit awkward as that party blocked majority of the entrance and really didn't want to move. Overall, I would definitely return mainly for the food.

The bitterness of the arugula balanced beautifully with the sweet beets and creamy burrata.Oysters & Chilled Shrimp: Both were incredibly fresh; the shrimp had a wonderfully mild flavor.Lobster Special: The lobster was light and paired perfectly with the nice, spicy kick of the Cajun fries.Lobster Rolls: Generously packed with large chunks of delicately prepared lobster, served with a fresh side salad.Dessert: We paired the chocolate cake with the coconut and pineapple ice cream. Combining the two was a nostalgic treat that made us feel like kids again.It is bittersweet that their season has officially come to a close. We are sad to see it end, but this remains our go-to spot. We are already looking forward to going back next season. P.S. The views are spectacular!!!!

How do you run out of a brunch item when you know you're gonna be packed for brunch? Also the server couldn't recommend another option because he hadn't had anything on the menu. I think they knew they messed up because we got a complimentary glass of wine which was really good. Otherwise it's too expensive of a restaurant to be acting this way.

They are clearly professionals at what they do and made the entire experience feel seamless, welcoming, and memorable. I'll definitely be back.

Requested medium and am pretty surprised that the burger didn't get up and walk off my plate, it was so rare you could see the uncooked gristle. just nasty! $55 for a lobster roll which consisted of a bunch of small pieces of lobster in a hot dog bun that could have easily been mistaken for a run of the mill seafood salad on a bun. price point should be in the mid to high 30's but you are definitely paying for the view. Service was slow, Items ordered not served, and don't even ask about the subpar ridiculously priced drinks. i would not return here if the food was free. if i go out to eat i want good food that simple. This place needs to get over itself. just shocking that after 2 visits and 4 entrees and apps that it could be as bad as it was. There is no way that this place is going to survive with these prices, service and food quality. Events have to be the only saving grace because regular restaurant service is shockingly bad on all points except the view. but even with that id like to look at good food instead of New Jersey.

The atmosphere here is warm and inviting, just as I remembered. The food is still consistently good, but the real highlight is Monday Happy Hour--it's still one of the best deals in the city and definitely worth planning around. I ordered the lobster roll, which was delicious, though I wish it had a few larger chunks of lobster meat. The pieces were decent, but bigger bites would have made it even better. The fish tacos, on the other hand, are still a star and never disappoint. Overall, a great neighborhood seafood spot that I'd happily come back to, especially on a Monday.

I opted for a pastel sour while my companion asked for a drink called The Last Word - it was no longer on the menu but they obligingly made it for us anyway.

Our server was very sweet but service was slow on the night, and by the time we received our utensils the food was cold.

Came to this seafood forward restaurant boasting Ethiopian and Swedish cuisine by Marcus…read moreSamuelsson, for dinner, with some friends. I've been wanting to dine here since opening. Upon arrival, we were led to cozy booth seating. The interior was stunning, colorful, and elegant, with a mermaid motif. There was unique artwork throughout, lots of lights, and sprawling bar area. We ordered the Bread Basket and Crab Biryani to share. Both tasted amazing! The Bread Basket consisted of an assortment of Flatbread, Injera Crisps, Teff Biscuits, Blue Cornbread, along with Hummus and Plantain Chutney. The Flatbread was buttered, soft, and topped with flavorful spices. Injera Crisps were satisfyingly crispy and well seasoned. Biscuits were also buttery and perfectly pillowy. Cornbread was melt in your mouth delicious. The sauces were wonderfully savory and complimented the various breads well. Crab Biryani was nicely crispy with a decent amount of crab and bold in flavor. For my entree, I went with the Black Sea Bass. The Sea Bass was pan seared with a sambal sauce and coconut foam, along with a rice ball. I enjoyed this dish, but when I started eating it, I encountered a few small bones, which I was not expecting. Also, the skin could have been crispier. Besides that, the Sea Bass was delightfully tender, flaky, and seasoned well. Rice Ball was mouthwateringly crunchy and quite yummy. The Coconut Foam was light and refreshing, with strong coconut taste. I was able to try the Coffee Cured Duck. The Duck was sliced on top of a butternut squash puree, with an accompanying duck salad. The sliced duck portion was way too small, however was delicious! I could really discern the coffee and the duck was cooked to perfection, and oh so succulent. Service was excellent. Our waiter was super personable, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. Prices were on the higher side, but on par with the area and standard for a high level restaurant. I would be open to returning to try the Grilled Lamb Chops, Hav Fries, and Ethiopian Princess Cake.

Dante West Village was on my list to check out when we first visited Manhattan last year, but we…read moredidn't have the opportunity. Since we were going to have more time to make our way out of Midtown and down to the Village, I made sure we would stop in for a drink. I'm glad we did because Dante's is quite a vibrant local hangout to check out whether you live in the City or not. We went there during their Martini Hour and managed to grab two seats at the bar. And it was bustling. If we wanted a table outside or inside, we would have had to wait at least an hour without a reservation. So we had luck when we arrived a little after three in the afternoon and found a couple of seats. The front room, where the bar is located, boasts a classic, stylish aesthetic, buzzing with activity as patrons and servers go back and forth with orders while the bartenders produce cocktails. The back room is the primary dining area with both booth and table seating. Since we had already had lunch in the Financial District, we came here for drinks. They were standout drinks, such as "The Dirty" and the Chocolate Negroni I ordered while we were at the bar. A refined, deconstructed take on the classic martini made with Grey Goose, Cinzano 1757 Dry Vermouth, and a touch of olive oil, "The Dirty" is served with a small side carafe of olive brine and a separate bowl of olives. The presentation lets you tailor the saltiness of the olive brine and garnish to your exact taste as you sip. A very exquisite experience, which I enjoyed immensely. Dante's Chocolate Negroni was an inventive, magical cocktail crafted with Brooklyn Gin, Faccia Brutto Aperitivo, Mancino Rosso Vermouth, Crème de Cacao, and chocolate bitters. The Negroni was a good contrast and the right next drink after starting with something salty and savory. Between the inventive, high-caliber cocktail menu and the infectious energy of the space, it's a spot well worth returning to for a full lunch or dinner.

Located on the corner of Perry and Hudson, it is a perfect stop after a walk by the water. The food was delicious and on the lighter side, which worked well for us. The chicken Caesar salad was outstanding. The chicken took a little while to come out but arrived perfectly baked with incredibly flavorful skin. We also got the ricotta toast, a single piece loaded with great cheese and plenty of vegetables, very tasty. We split a tiramisu for a birthday and it was creamy and just right. The cocktails were all very refreshing and perfectly poured. Would definitely be back, just know this place fills up fast. Next time I want to try the caviar baked potato, which looked incredible at the table next to us.
