The Osprey

"When: Daily, 5-7pm The Deal: $2 oysters; $10 wine Oysters along the waterfront are a no-brainer, and The Osprey is our favorite waterfront hotel restaurant for indulging in overpriced but delicious food. Almost everything served here is local and sustainably sourced, including the shellfish and $10 glasses of wine. Afterwards, take a sunset walk in Brooklyn Bridge Park." - willa moore, neha talreja, will hartman

"The Osprey isn’t just another overpriced waterfront hotel restaurant. While it is pricey, for being in a hotel, and on the waterfront, the food here is good. It’s easy to get a walk-in table or a last-minute reservation, even for a big group, so this is a great option to have in your back pocket. Time your dinner right and you’re just steps away from the ideal post-meal sunset walk in Brooklyn Bridge Park." - Willa Moore, Bryan Kim, Carina Finn Koeppicus, Hannah Albertine

"The Osprey isn’t just another overpriced waterfront hotel restaurant. While it is pricey, in a hotel, and on the waterfront, the food here is legitimately good. The brunch menu changes often, but you’ll generally get things like banana french toast and seasonal frittatas with locally sourced ingredients. It’s easy to get a last-minute reservation, even for a big group, so this is a great option to have in your back pocket when you forgot to plan your mom’s birthday brunch. " - Team Infatuation

(It’s $45 bread, but it's worth it.) The salads are excellent—pretty much all of the ingredients are local and sustainably sourced—and the rotisserie-style jerk chicken is good enough to warrant a solo meal when you don't feel like cooking. photo credit: Emily Schindler It’s easy to get a walk-in or a last-minute reservation, even for a big group, so this is a great option to have in your back pocket.
