"The food at this special-occasion spot in Dumbo is basically fancy stuff from the ’90s, but the main reason to come here is the view of the Manhattan skyline from the dining room. It's as close to eating in the East River as you can get. Dinner is a $195 fixed-price, three-course situation with things like steak tartare and a duck breast with foie gras sauce. You won’t feel out of place here in your fanciest outfit, and they have a private garden that looks like it was airlifted from a Thomas Kinkade painting, complete with fairy lights in every tree." - neha talreja, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah
