1884 CHEESEBURGER
Michael J.

I ate lunch with my work colleagues and had a great experience. We were sat at a table along the windows and had a nice view of the water and dock area in addition to it being a sunny bright Winter day! Our waiter was awesome and had the best personality and greeted us with a big smile and kind demeanor. Served was exceptional! I had the cheeseburger which was excellent and my one colleague had the special and my other colleague ordered the fish ! We shared the cheesecake and it was plenty of dessert for 3 people ! I will for sure return and hope we get the same waiter !

I came here with my cousins a few weeks ago, we were able to make a resy pretty easily for the weekend. It's a huge place and definitely stroller friendly. I will say our server was great- he was also extremely friendly and we liked chatting with him! Food wise I wasn't super impressed. The burgers were highly recommended so I ordered one and shared a lobster roll with my husband. But were just ok and I wouldn't come back to get these. I did enjoy the appetizers more. The calamari and zucchini/eggplant chips were good. The oven baked pretzels were nothing special. Overall I think if you're in the area and want a quick bite it could be an option, but I wouldn't travel in from queens, pay for parking in a lot and come here to eat.

Farewell dinner, bittersweet. PJ is one of my favorites restaurant. The first warm day this year, the place was buzzing but the service excelled. Best ambiance to welcome Spring. Drinks: delicious. Food great: we had lobster rolls and burgers. As of me, I will return.

Very popular restaurant in Brookfield place. Wanted to see what the hype was about because there was a waitlist. Ordered a burger and lobster roll. To be honest the food was pretty underwhelming. I felt like it's on par with a food truck. The lobster was pretty dry. The burger was alright but the presentation could have been better. The food arrived pretty quickly but it didn't seem like the servers really wanted to be there. One dropped a plate on the floor.. it was a very loud scene.. and just nonchalantly used her feet to kick it to the side while the other servers just watched. I guess dropping things is common here. Anyway, this is a very casual spot. So don't go here with anyone you want to impress :)

MAINE MAINE STYLE LOBSTER ROLL
B G.

I came here because it was on a list of "fine dining restaurants " . Since it was a special day we made the trip. The waiter was nice and professional but this spot is not it . I ordered a lobster roll it was absolutely disgusting I sent it back . It wasn't seasoned it just wasn't good . We ordered chicken wings as well . They tasted horrible the temperature was warm to almost cool or cold they didn't taste fresh at allll. We ordered 2 drinks and left to a more upscale fine dining restaurant because this place wasn't it . I don't think I would visit this or any other of their locations ever again.

Roast chicken Caesar salad
Tom G.

An upscale American bar that specializes in their seafood, but all their options are great. I highly recommend the poblano burger, extremely fresh and a little bit different than your standard bar fare. The roast turkey club might also be one of the best turkey clubs I've ever had! I've also tried the crispy cod sandwich which rather tasty, albeit a little messy, so prepare yourself with a napkin. Most recently I've had the roast chicken Caesar salad, and that might be my favorite thus far. Chicken was perfectly cooked and honestly has my mouth watering even now just thinking about it. The prices can be a little steep even for Manhattan but you definitely get your money's worth in quality. The outdoor bar during the warmer months is also a great time, but it can be a little burdensome to get the bartender's attention with the sheer volume of people that show up.

CONNECTICUT STYLE LOBSTER ROLL
Austin Z.

Quite a tourist-y restaurant, but convenient for a business lunch in Brookfield Place. Nothing particularly memorable / special about the meal. Got the lobster roll (which was actually decently priced $35) and it got the job done. Service was a little slow but they were swamped. Ambiance and vibes were touristy/themed but you know what you're getting when you sign up to go here

Crunchy Chicken Sandwich
Pam M.

I visited PJ Clarke's twice this week. Once for a quick late night meal after I checked into my hotel & again for a late lunch on Friday. I checked out the menu online before I visited & had my eye on the salmon tartare & lobster roll. The salmon tartare didn't come with anything to serve it on so I used the potato chips that accompanied my lobster roll as a vessel. I chose the Connecticut style lobster roll which had a pretty good amount of lobster but the roll was a bit stale. My cocktail, the ST. GERMAIN FIZZ which featured elderflower liqueur, fresh lime was light & refreshing. I returned for lunch with my colleague on Friday & we shared the ZUCCHINI & EGGPLANT CHIPS appetizer. He had the chicken sandwich & I had the lobster Cobb sandwich which was beautifully presented, light, delicious & had a nice amount of lobster. This restaurant is huge & has indoor dining, outdoor dining & bar seating. Service was friendly & helpful.

I was in NYC for a weekend in September and a friend recommended this restaurant and it was one of my favorite restaurants from this trip! Having delicious oysters and wine while overlooking the river on a crisp fall day was a dream! 10/10 recommend.

Dips for two
Neha M.

Right next to the water and plenty of people watching. This place is your spot for the summer Fridays to enjoy delicious foods and drinks with friends or colleagues. We tried the dips for two. Loved each dip (and been trying to figure out what each dip was because the menu didn't say) For mains I had the chicken pallaird. So this was ok. Flavor was there but the chicken was dry and over cooked. They also have plenty of mocktail options so I had the one with passionfruit because I'm in love with passionfruit. Delicious and not too sweet. Service was great too!

NEW YORK CHEESECAKE
Francisco R.

This was an amazing place to eat and enjoy a break after a long day of exploring New York City. While dining under a view of the harbor and the statute of liberty, the ambience makes you feel like you're a part of the big city. The cherry on top of the cake: the food! Every piece of our meal was delicious! Finally, the staff were amazing. I made the reservation ahead of our trip and asked for a table with a view and the staff came through! Additionally the host staff and wait staff were kind, courteous, and treated us very well. Highly recommend!

Didn't feel like it was associated with a hotel!…read more Stopped in after dinner for a quick drink and snack/dessert. Ordered a Cadillac Margarita (Casamigos) for me + Vodka Martini (Grey Goose) for my partner + thick Fries + Slice of Chocolate Cake Drinks weren't anything special but the fries were hreat and cake hit the spot. Actually, I'm so glad we stumbled in because their cute and short food menu is PERFECTION for lovers of small bites -- crab dumplings, caviar deviled eggs, spicy tuna crispy rice, shrimp cocktail, oysters, sardines, etc... Things I dream of all in one sexy, cozy place that whisks you far away from the streets of Manhattan. Our chairs were comfy, and there were many seating areas that looked equally as inviting. The bar was gorgeous, lighting was super moody. The room was daaark and not very busy on a Friday around 8-8:30 P.M which we appreciated. Our waitress was fabulous and so friendly, great with timing and checking in!

Great experience. One Big Tip...when you make your reservation (which I would highly recommend)…read moreyou must request either drinks or meal. If you don't you could end up with a rather large dinner platter in your lap. So do the following: 1. Make a reservation 2. Request either a dinner or bar/drinks reservation l almost had to leave because it was a special birthday and we were looking at possible dinner on tiny-bar tables .

A friend and I went for dinner the other night (my first time). The place looks great with holiday…read morelights, lots of space and it's a fun atmosphere. The staff were very hospitable and helpful, giving suggestions on what to order and telling us about some of the preparation, like the brine for the fried chicken that incorporates tea for flavour. We had the Caviar Tater Tots ($29), which were tasty and a fun concept, but I thought a little pricey. We shared the fried chicken ($36), which I also thought was high, even for Tribeca. I wish there had been more than two hushpuppies, which I enjoyed. The fried chicken was very juicy and I liked the spices used in the coating. My friend was celebrating her birthday, which I told the manager about on the D.L. He had the waitress bring a big piece of the bread pudding and put a candle in it. My friend was completely surprised and chuffed. The bread pudding was dense, but not heavy and delicious. It reminded us a little of kugel. I appreciated them gifting the dessert: a very thoughtful gesture. I'd like to go back to try a cocktail, the crab dip and the lobster roll (but preferably with someone else picking up the tab).

I picked Chambers for my husband's birthday dinner primarily because of the exceptional wine…read moreprogram, but also because the food is supposed to be really good, too. It delivered on both fronts, but I really was blown away by the wine. The sheer quantity of available wines is really impressive, and the sommelier was able to recommend a rare wine that fit our interests (a fantastic, effervescent, creamy Txakoli that had lovely fruit and minerals). Later, I tried amazing ice cider. The food rundown: -Sesame pizza Bianca: complimentary bread! This was very good and quite sizable. The bottom is entirely encrusted with sesame. -Scallop crudo (rhubarb, shiso): very good and the plating was gorgeous. Meaty scallops with tangy and pungent flavors. -Snowdance chicken (spinach, sherry, thyme): Super tender, crispy-skinned chicken in a savory sherry sauce. -Sea bass (asparagus, hollandaise): I was surprised at how remarkably well this dish worked. The asparagus was so good with the rich, buttery sauce. Definitely a smaller portion, but the chicken was huge so it balanced out. -Potatoes with ramps: Yum. Served hashbrown-style and the ramps were added as little sauce dollops. I loved the space, and by that I mean the ambience and also the literal amount of space we had to ourselves. We got to stretch out in a roomy corner booth. The room featured a lot of exposed brick and grey and utilitarian ceilings, but it manages to be cozy all the same.

Chambers is a charming, intimate restaurant with a warm, compact dining room, an ample bar area,…read moreand even two chef's-kitchen bar seats that give the room a little extra theater. Unfortunately, the food never really lived up to the setting. The meal started with the scallops with sweet corn and espelette. They were fine, which ended up being one of the more positive assessments of the night. My father had the Peekytoe crab with peach and brioche, which was also okay. My mother had the Norwich Meadows carrots with yogurt and carrot-top pesto, and that was where the meal started feeling flat. Nothing was technically offensive, but there was very little excitement or depth to the plate. Portions were consistently small, which became harder to ignore as the meal went on. For mains, my father ordered the heritage pork sausage with shrimp, Jimmy Nardello peppers and cilantro. The dish only really came together when you got the sausage and pepper in the same bite, but there was very little of it, and on its own the sausage was not especially compelling. I ordered the Snowdance chicken with spinach, sherry and thyme, which is apparently one of the restaurant's signature dishes. My father and I switched halfway through because he liked the chicken more than I did. I found it surprisingly weak: essentially a pounded chicken preparation that was bland, average and nowhere near what I would expect from a signature entrée at this price. My mother had the housemade bucatini with zucchini, Tarentaise and mint. It was strange rather than satisfying, and none of us particularly liked it. Service was much better than the food. Our server was good, and the secondary service was even better. They did forget one of my father's drinks, but replaced it without issue. I still left 22% because the kitchen's problems were not the server's fault. Dessert finally produced the best dish of the night: the mascarpone with phyllo, cinnamon caramel and lemon pistachios. That was genuinely good. I then figured I would order the cheese because, at minimum, how badly can you mess up cheese? The answer was not badly, exactly, but absurdly. The "cheese and crackers" course was two small pieces of Appalachian cheese for the table. Two pieces. For three people. That pretty much captured the meal. The restaurant has obvious Gramercy Tavern DNA in its restraint, seasonal ingredients and minimalist plating, but this felt like a much less successful version of that philosophy. When this style works, simplicity feels precise and confident. Here, too often, it just felt sparse, underdeveloped and expensive. For three people, with appetizers, entrées, three cocktails, one glass of wine, dessert, cheese and tip, the total came to roughly $472. At that price, "fine" is not enough.

We came in on a Friday evening and it was pretty quiet inside. After we were sat down upstairs, it took a long time for our waitress to come to take our order. We got the Butterscotch flip, Getaway driver, and Big trouble. These drinks were not it. Although the prices are okay($19 each), they definitely need some improvement. All three had very strong flavors that were not balanced with the rest of the drink. After we finished our drinks, we waited an especially long time for the waitress to come back, check on us, and give us our bill. It was especially frustrating because we were the only ones in the bar at this point and we could hear them chatting downstairs. Overall, both service and the drinks need improvement. Can't really recommend Split Eights over other cocktail bars around.

Brought a friend here who was visiting from out of town. She was looking for a true NY cocktail…read moreexperience, and I immediately knew this would give her that upscale NYC cocktail bar vibe while still being a bit more "low key." Our cocktails were delicious, music was on point, service didn't feel rushed at all. I was feeling adventurous and asked for a boozy gin-based cocktail.. loved it! My friend really enjoyed her drink as well. At $19 per cocktail, it's not the cheapest in the area, but also not the priciest either. Would absolutely recommend Split Eights to anyone looking for craft cocktails in the area.
