If you like your kitch in large doses with a hint of turn-of-century bordello and cheesy Indian ""trying to be classy but failing"" atmosphere, this is the place for you! True, a nice view of Manhattan, but it is a restaurant after all so the whole selling pitch can't depend just on view - which from the inside by the way is not spectacular due to the poor design of the restaurant. In summary, below-average food and above-average prices. If you're cheesy and don't know much about food and want to impress a date who hasn't been around much and is very easily impressed, it's the place for you - particularly if you like over-paying. If you are a discerning diner, take the water taxi there and back from Manhattan to enjoy the view, then go to a real restaurant.
Pros: friendly waiter; view of Manhattaan over East River
Cons: bad food and expensive
