Best Fusion Restaurants in Governors Island

Fantastic late night dinner at Essex Bar! Yellowtail Crudo was beautiful and a refreshing start to a wonderful meal, and Duck Pasta was perfectly prepared. Desserts, especially the flourless chocolate cake were standouts. Wife had the bone-in strip steak, which was huge and flavorful. Nice selection value wines. Will be back.

From start to finish, Moko delivers a great dining experience.

Visited this gem yesterday and the experience was nothing short of amazing. Food 8/10: Frogs Legs 8/10- Absolutely delicious! Fried light and crispy. Very juicy and well seasoned. Highly recommended Patatas Bravas 8/10- cubed French fries with sichuan spice and aioli- sooo good and a great appetizer to start with Iberico Pork Collar 8/10- this was a surprise. I don't usually eat pork however this reminded me of thanksgiving ham made with pineapple. This is a must try! Mushroom 3 ways 7/10- loved this but I will say that if you're not a fan of mushrooms then this dish might not be for you. Crispy Chicken Sandwich 9/10-( must order with the Korean Buffalo sauce)- the absolute star of the show. Juicy, well seasoned and the Korean buffalo sauce complimented the sandwich flavor profile so well. I would say that it's a better than most chicken sandwiches I've had. Drinks/ Dessert- 9/10 Pandan Punch 9/10- I loved loved this drink. The presentation is pretty basic but everything the presentation lacks, the taste makes up for. It's both sweet and earthy but I couldn't stop myself from devouring it. Please try this! Chai Trea Leche- 8/10 I'm a dessert girl so I take my sweets very serious. This was a great spin on the classic tres leches. Although I do wish the cake was soaked a bit more than it was. The rum caramel whipped cream was sooo good I basically licked my spoon clean. Service was on point. All steps of service was hit and our waitress was cool, polite and efficient. We could not have asked for better service! The only thing I noticed which made me a bit uncomfortable was that the host constantly walked around glancing over my brothers shoulder, rather closely to see just how gas into the meal we were. I understand that there was an influx of guests that begun arriving and waiting to be sat however this was happening throughout our meal and couldn't shake the feeling of being rushed as I was actively enjoying my meal. All good otherwise.

Had a good experience, other than being told there was no coffee/cappuccino because the machine was broken. Would’ve liked to stay and enjoy the ambience longer and have coffee and was unable to.

Tiny restaurant with a big taste. Loved the quirky alts on traditional Japanese dishes as well as the some new takes.
