Situated on a barge beside the Brooklyn Bridge, this superb, elegant restaurant is where old-money New Yorkers and people who want to impress their dates gather for special occasions. It is incredibly romantic, with a spectacular view of lower Manhattan right outside the window and beautiful flowers blanketing the room. The service is excellent, and the creative American cuisine is in the capable hands of chef Brad Steelman. Jacket and tie are required for men at dinner.
