What I wrote thereFold it away
Tucked away under the Brooklyn Bridge is The River Café, one of the most charming waterfront restaurants in NYC. The place feels like it’s been copied and pasted out of a Disney movie thanks to the abundance of flowers and immaculate presentation. Now the pricing isn’t for the faint of heart, it’ll run you around $200 per person. However, for an anniversary, engagement, or celebration The River Café is one of the best waterfront restaurants in NYC.
The food comes in a prix fixe, three-course menu with options like lamb, venison, and swordfish available as main courses. And unlike other waterfront restaurants in NYC where you pay for location more than food, The River Café’s cuisine is nothing to scoff at. It even has a Michelin Star! Tables can be booked up to a year in advance and I strongly encourage making reservations to The River Café.
Something to note Collared shirts and jackets are required for men, and ties are preferred. Jeans, athletic wear, and sandals are not allowed.
