My friend and I stumbled upon Water St. Tavern while trying to catch the World Cup finals and we…read moregot lucky - snagged the last two seats at the bar right before kickoff. Great spot to watch a game, TVs around the bar and the volume was turned up perfectly so we didn't miss a moment of the action. Food was decent - we tried the arancini, grilled steak skewers, and truffle fries. Everything was solid, though the truffle fries could've used more actual truffle flavor. Cocktails were nothing fancy, but they got the job done. What really made the experience was the staff - genuinely attentive even with a packed house for the game, checking in enough without being overly attentive. My friend and I had such a good time watching the finals here. A great place to catch a game with good energy and great service. Would definitely come back for another match.

The decor was colorful, and a bit wacky, with a lot of character. I ordered the Duck Breast, served with potato gratin and pear endive salad. The waiter did not ask how I wanted the Duck cooked. I thought it would automatically be well done, however I was mistaken. The Duck was still distinctly red inside, and while there was flavor, I couldn't get past how rare it was. I did enjoy the sides, especially the Potato Gratin, so did not mention anything to the servers. The Potato Gratin was rich, creamy, and well seasoned. Pear Endive Salad was fresh and crunchy, with plenty of juicy pear throughout. Service was decent, but a bit slow probably because of the large group size. Prices were not too high, except certain entrees. I was not completely satisfied with my meal, so would not return.

We ordered a couple of bottles of wine and discovered that it's tap served. So you could actually try before making up your mind.

We ordered strawberry cocktails and enjoyed the romantic sunset behind the cityscape. Love the yellow and white striped canopies over the tables. The fries with sage aioli and spiced ketchup were a bit too salty but perfectly fried and crispy. It was a complementary pairing with the watermelon tomato salad with shiso. Had to taste the chocolate gateau made for two garnished with rum-pumped raisins and served with three small scoops of ice cream. Honestly, I wish the proportions of ice cream were in line with the cake. Could've used several more perfect bites. Anyway, the bar seating was decent, we had to move once because they seated us near the silverware rollers which was pretty noisy and also blocking our view. We had asked to be seated at the 10+ empty tables but they said none were available and by the time we had left, those tables were still empty. So I recommend making a reservation if you want an actual table.

I got a burrata salad and the tuna poke. Both were delicious, very cool and refreshing. The problem was with the service. Our table ordered coca colas as we had friends coming to meet us there for cocktails after. Our waiter seemed annoyed, as if the check would not be large enough because we were drinking sodas. As a result his tip would be smaller as it was a smaller check. I hated this so much. I worked in the service industry and treated my tables with smaller tabs the exact same as tables with larger tabs. He never came to clear our plates. We sat there for over 30 minutes with dirty dishes piled in front of us while we waited for our other friends to arrive. When they came in, they were treated to a table full of dirty dishes. It was such a put off and our waiter was just RUDE. There was no excuse for this. When we ordered ONE round of drinks, this server NEVER came to check on us or asked if we wanted another. The bad service was inexcusable and I will not be back on my next visit to Brooklyn.

Our organization hosted an event at Harriet's Rooftop Restaurant & Bar at 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge,…read moreand unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. During the sales process, I made it abundantly clear that we would only move forward if we could be placed in one of the rooftop spaces with views of the Manhattan skyline and Brooklyn Bridge--not the Liberty space. I was assured this request would be accommodated. Upon arrival, however, we discovered that we had been assigned to the Liberty space, the one area I specifically said would not meet our needs. When I raised the issue, management offered no meaningful solution. A simple request to allow our guests access to a small section for photographs was flatly denied. Rather than attempting to resolve a problem that originated within their own organization, the management team seemed focused on explaining why nothing could be done. Merle, the Director of Banquets and Events, was professional and courteous and made an effort to help, but others in management showed little interest in accommodating a client who had invested significantly in food, beverage, and event space. What made the experience even worse was the complete lack of follow-up. Despite multiple managers being involved that evening, days passed without a single phone call, email, or acknowledgment from anyone in leadership. Only after I sent a detailed email outlining my concerns and copied the area manager did I receive a response from Murat Erbil, the Area Director of Restaurants, Nightlife, and F&B Operations. Unfortunately, his response was dismissive and portrayed the situation as though the team had done everything possible to accommodate us, which was simply not true. At no point did anyone acknowledge the breakdown in communication that led to the issue or take ownership of the fact that reasonable accommodations were available but intentionally denied. I oversee more than 50 events nationwide each year and work with venues across the country. Rarely have I encountered a venue so unwilling to make even the smallest accommodation to address its own mistake. Better communication and a genuine commitment to customer service could have made all the difference. Based on this experience, I will not be returning to Harriet's Rooftop or conducting future business with 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge. Event planners and organizations looking for a venue should understand that the promises made during the sales process may not reflect the experience they ultimately receive.

Staying at the 1 Hotel comes with its perks, and as a proud hotel snob, I have no problem investing in luxury... though this time, I didn't have to. I was invited and I happily accepted. Harriet's Rooftop is in the 1 Hotel and sits right next to the pool, so the crowd is a fun mix of people dressed like they're shooting a campaign and people who clearly just wandered over from their lounge chairs. The place is known for attracting stars, and they delivered; Kevin O'Leary was sitting right in front of me, taking pictures of the view like the rest of us. And honestly, who could blame him? The views are stunning. Service was okay; you have to be escorted up by the hostess if you're not a guest, if you're a guest you have key access; once you're on the roof, it feels like the pool staff is running the show. What didn't make sense was how many empty tables there were while they sat everyone practically elbow‑to‑elbow. Service missed the mark for a place aiming at luxury. In the kind of restaurants I frequent, an empty glass is whisked away with the speed of a magician's trick. Instead, our plates and cups lingered at the table, relaxing right alongside us as if they, too, had paid for the experience. I asked to move upon being seated, and they did accommodate, but they easily could've placed us at the waterfront table since those "reserved" guests never arrived. Still, the food was surprisingly very good, and although there's a per‑person minimum, two drinks and an entrée will get you there without trying. This is not a cheap outing, and the crowd reflects that. Everyone is in designer everything (quiet luxury but if you know, you know), and the wrist game is elite. Not just Rolex; the Audemars Piguet and Richard Mille kings were outside. You go Kings. Harriet's is a vibe...luxury, views, people‑watching, and a sprinkle of celebrity energy. Come dressed, come hungry, and come ready to enjoy the moment. Let's get into it! Frozen Watermelon Margarita - UMMMM yes. A cool, seductive little tease in a glass, smooth, refreshing, and way too easy to get attached to. I was ready for another, but my waitress slipped away like a secret. Jalapeño Margarita - A soft, intentional heat. The kind that warms you slowly, not all at once. Rock Shrimp - Big portion, light spice, and honestly came out like it knew it was fine. Bold, confident, and ready to be admired. Baked Crab Roll - The star. Warm, rich, decadent; the roll that doesn't ask for attention because it naturally commands it. Dumbo Roll - A reliable shrimp tempura moment that hit every note it was supposed to. Oysters - Fresh, briny, and gone before I even realized how much I wanted more. A true blink‑and‑you‑miss‑it situation. Overall, the food was giving chemistry, the drinks were giving "come closer," and the service was giving "I'll circle back eventually." But that Baked Crab Roll? I'd return for that one like it left something on my mind. Lots of hits, a few misses. However, yes to Harriet's every time I'm in Brooklyn!
