"This romantic restaurant under the Brooklyn Bridge has been serving imaginative American food with gorgeous views for 40 years. It’s a setting worthy of celebratory dinners — proposals, anniversaries, and weddings — and the best seats in the house are at the window tables. The restaurant held a Michelin star from 2014, when it reopened after Hurricane Sandy, to 2023." - Eater Staff
