Nice views, nice planting / floral display.... OK muffins But that’s about it! The coffee has improved, but from bad to not very good, and it isn’t cheap! As others have posted, it could be so much better with a bit of effort.

I live in the neighborhood and always look forward to spring when I can come here with friends/family and my dog and enjoy the yummy food and drinks. This year I recommend the skewered shrimp and quinoa salad. Also a great beer selection.

Nice river breathe. Good river view. You can order food, drink and alcohol (or BYOB - maybe). So pleasant and relaxing. But dinner time is very competitive to get tables and chairs! You really have to watch out who’s leaving, which is a bit obnoxious....More

The food was good (we had strips of steak) but it was served on paper plates. Steak with paper plates and plastic cutlery doesn't really work. The waitress was short with us, which is not what you need when you've just got of a plane...More

This is a great spot to meet with friends and enjoy some drinks and small plates. The fare is mostly bar food along with some novelty drinks. You can easily access this place via foot, bike or cab. There is plenty of space for children...More

Adjacent to the river with high end bar and food choices which you will pay for. If it weren't for the pigeons, you could spend a nice lunch, afternoon refreshment break after spending some time on the pier or park next door, or dinner. They...More

This is a convenient and attractive place to meet friends on the upper West Side, at the end of W 70th Street (although access is actually a few blocks north or south). It is in the open with tables under green umbrellas and has a...More

Got together with my 88 year old friend of decades and had a pleasant walk from his condo to this restaurant. Great views, good food and excellent ambiance. Very chill and many pleasant people. Get the white sangria pitcher. The tacos were good too.

We joined friends who live in the area and spent a perfect summer night dining alfresco. Very busy, but the self serve process went quickly. The fries were very good and I enjoyed the blueberry lemonade! Typical Manhattan price point for the view.
