Best Restaurants with Bar Seating in Financial District

Fantastic, as always! We went for something a little different - the crab cakes and the uovo Benedictine, and both were great, but the real stars were the cocktails. Absolutely stellar espresso martini and “direct flight to Rome” a perfectly balanced espresso & amaro cocktail that I fell in love with. We’ll certainly be back (again and again!)

I visited Carrie Nation for dinner on Feb. 21st, 2025 because it was Jazz Night. Even though I was dining solo, they were kind enough to seat me at the table of my choice, a table or 4 facing the band. The service was very kind and attentive the whole evening, even though they were very busy. I had a light dinner of their house red, a generous bowl of butternut squash soup, and a side of fingerling potatoes, all very good. The music was outstanding; Ron Poster and his trio were terrific, playing 3 sets of jazz standards and, at the end of the evening, pop tunes as well. All in all it was a lovely evening.

We had the four wines offered in the wine symposium and really learned a lot. We drank northern and southern Greek wines with dolmas and mushrooms and a lovely pita stuffed with feta and a lamb shank. Every fish was delicious and beautifully presented. It’s fun to sit at the bar and watch the chefs. Highly recommend! And Wednesdays are super busy so get there early! Lotsa fun!

Went here for Valentine’s Day. Service was amazing, drinks were so good. Got a bunch of apps to split between the two of us. Truffle fries and the coconut shrimp 10/10. Definitely would return!!

Lovely spot for a drink on a Friday. So nice they have a jazz duet live to listen to. Prices are a bit high, but the food and service were excellent. Would recommend for a first date, first drink, or a date with your partner
