But other moments call for a proper sit-down meal complete with sunset or waterfront views. Perfectly placed on the waterfront with "breathtaking views of NYC" and named after the historic 19th-century estate of New York banking magnate James Gore King, the Highwood is a restaurant, bar, and sports lounge situated at Port Imperial in Weehawken, where my partner and I decided on dinner yesterday. The reservation was easily done via OpenTable. Upon entering as first-timers, we were greeted by the host inside a rustic yet modern wood and metal design with a sophisticated vibe and a unique layout, making it perfect for dinners and watching live sports alike. We were seated on a high bar table in the main room, consisting of a large 10-foot TV wall behind one of the bars. Their crafted menu features a diverse array of dishes, ranging from classic salads, seafood, pizza, and more to balance comfort and creativity. We decided to share the Creamy Spinach which is always a great starter. For our main meal, we opted for the Delmonico and Steak Frites. We washed them down the Jam Slam and Dragon Fruit Spritz. The food was absolutely delicious using fresh ingredients. Every dish was prepared with great flavor and quality. The portions were satisfying, and everything came out well-paced, which added to the overall experience. The staff was fantastic, very friendly, and accommodating, especially our server, Taylor. This establishment remains a sought-after destination for locals and visitors alike.

It's very old school Italian American and that includes the employees & patrons. They have their own items and spins on other typical Italian American entrees in addition to steaks but I would recommend keeping your order simple and tried & true recipes. Only thing negative I would say sometimes their food can be a bit too salty at times (this could have been the exception not the rule). Great restaurant all around though.

Our reservation was for 6:30pm but some friends couldn't find it and didn't arrive until close to 7pm. The staff were cool and understanding. At 7pm, there were only a few patrons in the restaurant. By the time we left around 10pm, the restaurant was packed with people standing waiting for a table. We had an amazing time. The restaurant had outdoor seating and it was a beautiful evening to sit outdoors but there were no available seats. The décor and aesthetics of the restaurant were beautiful. The bathroom was located right outside of the restaurant which was a bit confusing because the building itself is a residential on the other side. We enjoyed the live band and DJ. The music was great, mostly old school R&B. They had hookah available. The food and drinks were delicious. For appetizers, we had the wu wings (honey ginger bourbon) and the crab cakes. My friends ordered the catfish and salmon. I had the jamrock jerk chicken with mango salsa, coconut rice and sweet plantains. My meal was finger licking good. LOL We all raved about that coconut rice. Our server was a young gentleman and he was a sweetheart. We were asking to speak to the owner to give him his props but he was busy running around working. We later learned our server was the son of the owner and he was so humble about it. We asked them to shout out our friend for her birthday and they didn't hesitate despite it being crowded. We all agreed this was a spot we would definitely check out again.

We arrived to the restaurant about 15 minutes earlier than our 7pm reservation, it was pretty empty, so empty that I didn't even have to mention our reservation. We were seated by Catalina (?) she told us that was her name but the receipt says Jenny A. WHATEVER! Doesn't matter will not be back to even need to remember her name. We ordered our drinks right after being seated, drinks didn't take too long to arrive. I'm not sure if it's because we didn't order hookah or what it was that caused the lack of service but I literally watched the server walk back and forth without so much as even looking at our table to see if we were ready to order. Remember, I said the place was basically empty! There was a couple at one table and a guy at another table, a guy at the bar and another couple came in about 10 minutes after us. EMPTY for a Saturday night! I finally called Catalina/Jenny A.(whoever she was) so that we can place our food order, I'm 1,000% certain that if I hadn't called her over to the table, she would not have come over to take our order. FINALLY, we placed our food order. We got our food fairly quick. We asked her MULTIPLE times for ketchup and steak sauce, minutes go by, nothing, a few more minutes go by, still nothing. FINALLY, she comes back with the smallest cup of ketchup for a burger and fries and literally a drop of steak sauce, no exaggeration, it was a drop for a whole Ribeye steak. Who doesn't have steak sauce and you sell steak?! THIS PLACE IS A JOKE! Service was absolutely horrible and the food was definitely mediocre. Lucky for Catalina/Jenny A., the gratuity was included in the bill or else she wouldn't have received a dime!! There are so many great restaurants in Edgewater, this is NOT one of them!!

This so that was a good sign, so my crew stuck around. The drinks were good and reasonably priced. The space is a bit smaller than it looks in pictures - but seating was comfortable for small groups. They had TV screens all over the place with sports and playing on them. There was music on and a live DJ that started around 10 PM. This spot didn't turn into a party like I anticipated. It was just a chill spot with food and drinks, which makes for a good time with friends. Overall, I liked the vibe and service and will definitely come by again.

The guac was good but could use a bit more salt, i wish they had chiccarons as chips instead of tortillas but the chips were great so wasn't a big issue. overall though expensive for some pretty average guac in my opinion. the seabass crudo was great, i loved the sauce and the mango went great with it. Super fresh, super tasty. Unfortunately the tacos were a mess, when it arrived the tortillas were so soggy that they were just coming apart, the meat was also falling off and overall the presentation was horrendous. the tacos weren't balanced as well, there were some with too much meat and then some with basically only cheese. overall flavor was not birria im typically use to but it was solid. honestly these tacos are probably the worst tacos i've ever had, for $20 it's a travesty. overall for a place nearby i'd come to get some drinks and the crudo and esquite because those were fantastic. but i'll pass on their tacos hard.
