Best Restaurants with a Scenic View in Clinton Hill

Outstanding dining experience shared with out of town family who were guests for the holiday season. The River Cafe did not disappoint. The menu offered a dazzling array of options for each course and given the large selection, we were a bit concerned about their ability to deliver… we were extremely happy and quite frankly blown away by each course. The food was of the best quality, presented beautifully and tasted absolutely DELICIOUS. Our only disappointment was the water service - it seems so silly but we had to ask NUMEROUS times for water and wait and wait for our glasses to be refilled. This seems like a minor detail but a major annoyance that can be readily corrected. One other troubling detail that surprised us was the lack of toilet tissue in the Ladies Room- it appeared that no staff attended to the bathroom during our three hour meal. We raise these two points in support of The River Cafe’s commitment to excellence. A warm thanks to the Chef and their team for a wonderful meal and lovey dining experience.

Gorgeous setting. We had river views in summer there are outside tables. A stylish restaurant with a central bar area. The food was fast and delicious and had a great vegetarian selection. About 5mins walk from York Street. Really can’t recommend this place enough.

Delicious food. Great views. Cute outdoor igloos - heated! Definitely recommend!

There was a slight delay to opening but once open , we were welcomed with festive cheer, and were guided to seat by the window. The panoramic view of New York City was breathtaking. The service and the food were both amazing and considering that we had purchased a package, we were very surprised that we were able to select from the full menu and found that this was remarkably good value for money. The menu offered a a small but very delicious selection for what I would imagine would suit most people‘s taste. In our case, they very good at accommodating a peanut allergy. We elected to purchase additional sides of vegetables to accompany our meals, and highly recommend the carrots, they were amazing, as were the truffle fries. The Barman was sensational & created delicious cocktails - I enjoyed the Manhatten Mule. The atmosphere in One Dine was very happy and upbeat considering it was Christmas Eve however, for our family, we were also able to use it as a time of reflection. My family and I highly recommend taking the time to enjoy the experience of dining at One Dine at the One World Observatory.

We did the $45 pre-fixe menu and it was a great value. The food was quite delicious and the service was attentive and hospitable. Loved the poached egg with mushrooms and spinach appetizer! It was flavorful. I could eat that everyday. Will definitely be back again.
