The decidedly masculine-feeling nautical decor is a refreshing change from other restaurants that try ever so hard to be chic. The bar is quite comfortable and the piano music at night adds to the delightful ambience. Our favorites: the Calamari appetizer (which is never, ever chewy), and the crab-cake. For your main meal, try the glazed sea scallops with roasted citrus and mesclun greens, the Filet Mignon (with one of the most scrumptious treatment of potatoes we've had in New York), or the broiled Salmon. The lobster is good but over-priced; go for lunch and it's only $35 and served prixe-fix with all the trimmings. And the food is consistently good, every visit. Service isn't overly quick, but who cares with a lovely view of the river. We found every single employee to be friendly and helpful. A big plus for us is the free valet parking.
Pros: Parking, Bar, View
