Everything was fabulous: amazing food, attentive, and personal service. Excellent location cannot recommend this place highly enough.
Came here to celebrate our anniversary. The service and food was delish. we had a pre-fixed menu but portions were perfect for us. small restaurant but wasn't to crowed that night so we were able to enjoy the entire experience . Everything we ordered was cooked perfectly.. Had it not been a snow storm we would've taken more photos outside but that snow help in creating a wonderful evening to remember. We'll be back!
The night I visited the weather outside was cold and blustery however inside the restaurant the view was amazing The service was great and the food met my expectations and more The tasting menu came with a bottle of Moet champagne... The first course was a cold course of appetizers that included oysters with caviar. I'm not a person that usually eats raw oysters however these were very flavorful very enjoyable.... Jumbo shrimp cocktail yum... Along with bruschetta and a spicy cucumber salad The second course included a crispy potato a crispy crab croquette and a stuffed portobello mushroom... The crispy crab was my personal favorite from the warm appetizers. I chose the pistachio crusted rack of lamb as my entree.... If there is a better option of the entrees I'll have to go back and try them because this was excellent I finished with a dessert pictured below macaroons ice cream chocolate lava cake what else can you ask for The GM Antonio was attentive and well informed and help make the evening great
10 out of 10 experience!!!! Wow we did the Moet in the Hudson special and it was worth the price! You get A RIDICULOUS amount of food and a bottle of champagne. I ordered the salmon and we had such amazing desserts. The restaurant is a bit hard to find but once there you get an amazing view of the city. Thanks again to the GM and servers for spectacular customer service.
We arrived around 12noon and were seated without a reservation quickly. If the weather is good, there are nice views of the weather. The fixed price menu actually is a good deal, although some items are strangely priced and not listed on the menu so you do not know the cost until after the meal (like $7 for a small iced tea) . The lamb meatballs had a slight curry taste to them, but were not spicy. The appetizer portion came with two very small meatballs so more of a personal plate and would not be suitable for sharing. The salmon was nicely cooked and a generous portion but the veggies it was on were soaked in a heavy, greasy oil. The service was VERY slow. A lunch for two took almost an hour and 15 minutes, with much of it being downtown waiting for someone to come by or the check to come.
Beautiful setting in Battery Park City right on the Hudson. Great views of New Jersey. Outstanding service. The five of us ordered a whole bunch of appetizers and every single one of them was great. We also loved our main courses. Probably can't go wrong with anything you order here. Some of the dishes were not the typical the Greek restaurant fare but definitely worth trying. You will not be disappointed.
Nestled along the Hudson River and overlooking New Jersey, Mezze on the River is the perfect spot to enjoy a delicious meal and the perfect sunset. The dining area inside is entirely glass, flanked by two outdoor seating areas, which allows you to watch the sun set, whether dining indoor or outdoor. They serve a large selection of delicious Mediterranean food and creative cocktails that you are sure to enjoy. They also offer a 3-course pre-fixe option for $49 from 4 to 6 PM. Mezze on the River is perfect for a dinner or lunch date, brunch, or drinks after work. I especially liked the saganaki cigars and sorbet, as well as the under the sea cocktail.
My girlfriends and I came here for dinner on a Friday night. We had a reservation and were seated quickly. It was towards the end of their dinner service (around 9pm) so the service was a bit slower than expected. I tried their prix fix menu for restaurant week. I chose the Saganaki Cigars, Lamb chops and Baklava. The Cigars were surprisingly spicy. I liked the combination of the spicy honey with the cheese. The lamb chops were delicious, quite tender. The baklava was okay. Overall for $60, it wasn't a bad meal. That being said, I've had more impressive meals for restaurant week at other places.
