Try the Moshulu for lunch - not so crowded - service is a bit better than evening. Lunch prices are also a bit more reasonable and the menu is quite good. Somehow, you don't mind slow when you have a full afternoon, the river to look at, and you're only waiting for a pannini or a crab cake. Lunch for two can still run about $50 with tax and tip but that's not so bad when you want to take your time.
Pros: river view, lunch
Cons: service
