Best Restaurants for Foodies in Battery Park City

Fantastic food and service. Interesting and creative dishes and the service is very attentive, friendly and prompt.

A wide variety of tasty small plates and accompanying wines. We especially enjoyed the Fideos, Arroz, and Razor Clams. Both the server and the sommelier were very knowledgeable and steered our table to good choices. The only minor drawback is that the space is tight and the lighting dim - a disservice to seeing the well plated dishes.

Surprisingly good food. Not a huge menu, but what they have is executed very well. Clams were a huge surprise and totally delicious. Cauliflower tempura is perfect and crispy. Ribeye was huge and seared well, but over by one grade - recommend you under order your desired temp. Pork chop was tender and served in a velvety sauce (was it a demi glace?). I didn't prefer the pasta with pork belly, thought it needed more sauce even though it tasted fine as it was. Service was fine but not as attentive as you night want for fine dining. Given the setting, it was ok. The view of course was amazing but do expect lots of tourists with small children speaking loudly. Not a good option for a romantic quiet chat. That having been said, the prix fixe lunch was a pretty good value at $80pp. I think the dinner menu is identical, so at $150pp that's a bit pricey. Go for lunch up to 4om, and save yourself some money, plus you get to watch the sunset, then see the city in both day and night. You can stay as long as you wish after your meal. Remember to arrive at least 15-30 minutes before your reservation since you have to go through several lines, a 1 minute elevator ride, and a 2-minute movie before you actually can get into the restaurant. Go to the west entrance of the building, then head down the escalator to guest services where you get priority tickets to the observatory floor. You also have to go through an airport-style security checkpoint complete with xray and metal detector, so be careful what you're carrying. Overall,, this is definitely an experience i would recommend, even to a long time native New Yorker.

Great food , great variety and great service , very nice wine list and cocktails , had a great experience

BONDST was one of the most incredible meals I've ever had. I had two of the Shishito Pepper Margaritas which had the perfect spice level. They were so good. I split with my daughter the Wagyu Carpaccio, Toro Tartare with Caviar, Seared Salmon sushi roll, Spicy Tuna sushi roll, Tuna Tarts, Spicy Shrimp, and the Hot Scallop dish. Seriously incredible. Found out the next day that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were eating there at the same time too!!! Such a cool spot. The vibes were immaculate and the food was absolutely incredible.
