Such a great ambience and extremely warm & welcoming staff. Food was amazing and the evening views are enthralling. The five-course dinner on Valentine’s Day was so perfect for the occasion.

this used to be a go to place for me. time change so do places. snobs at the door make experience bad right at the start. wanted to spend $300-400 for a few drinks and deserts tonight - place is empty - I was blown off with "try ice creamery". I have been to this place many times before, tonight was the worst experience.

Expensive but worth the price for the high-end food classy service and atmosphere. Valet parking included, prefixed menu with variety of options. The view of the bridge is nice if you get the window table, the dessert of the Brooklyn Bridge is a great one to get. Parking: Complimentary valet parking

Went there for an anniversary dinner and every member of the staff that we talked to wished us a happy anniversary. The food was wonderful, my only wish would be my stomach to eat more!

I photographed this couples wedding a couple years ago here during the fall season. I highly recommend it! The food is amazing but more than that they treated me as a vendor exceptionally well. I had an amazing vendor meal which and I felt like I was one of the guests. The views are breathtaking and a wedding photographers dream. I loved the garden area where the couple had their ceremony. It felt very private all while being in the heart of Dumbo! ig @konradbrattke

Let's talk about finding this place. The front door is not facing a street, you drive into like a enchanted garden and the valet guys are awaiting your arrival. They have a coat check once you are inside and the inside is very cozy. Get to the table and I was presented with a stool for my purse. We had the view of the water, just makes it a true romantic date. Professionalism is a understatement, just phenomenal service from each and every person. The plates are small but very unique with great flavor. I can't remember my cocktail, I had 3 of them so I'll just leave that there. This is not a leggings and sweats spot, they warn you to please abide by their dress code. Please experience this, is was worth it.

Took a special lady for her birthday and she was blown away by the view, ambiance and the service. A bit pricy but the smile the experience left in her face in her special day was priceless. Parking: You drive in and hey valer quiclly

Loved everything about the dinner…service was amazing, it was like watching a symphony perform. Also , the food was good. It was a refreshing experience as most restaurants-across the board- have become mediocre on all fronts. It is expensive but absolutely worth the occasional special dinner.
