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 ! read more

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. read more

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. read more

P.J. Clarke's - Bar service - American Near Me - New York, New York

This place managed to turn a birthday celebration into a collections job. We came in with a group of 10+ people. At the beginning, they asked for one card to put on file, so I did what they asked. Only AFTER the meal was over did they suddenly blindside me with the announcement that they wouldn't split the check because of "policy." To be clear, I wasn't asking for itemized checks. I literally asked:"Can you just divide the bill evenly across more cards?" Answer: no. "That's the policy." So now, instead of enjoying the night, I'm walking around interrupting conversations and chasing money from people I barely know because the restaurant dumped their operational problem onto me personally. Some people paid quickly. Others said they only had one drink. Others thought the average was too high and paid less. By the end of the night, after doing all the work myself, I was still about $150 short when I only had a burger. The waitress at least tried to help. Management could not have cared less. The manager actually walked outside just to repeat "that's the policy" instead of making even the smallest effort to help fix a situation THEY failed to disclose upfront. And as a final touch, once the damage was done, they wouldn't even let me switch the final charge to another card. The reason? Policy, of course. The frustrating part is that this was all completely avoidable. If they had simply warned us BEFORE ordering that large groups couldn't split checks, we could have planned accordingly. Instead, they waited until everyone had eaten and then trapped one person into being financially responsible for the chaos. Food was fine. Hospitality was awful. read more

Love the vibe here, love the service but the food is mid. Ordered a cheeseburger and the cheese wasn't melted. The truffle fries were kind of cold. I want to give this place another try but it has to be the right day idk read more

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 :) read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

What can I say. This is the closest bar to my work so my coworkers and I go to this place all the time. It is considered our second office. Drinks are fine. Food is fine. The vibes can be amazing. If the weather is great amazing view of the water and the sunset is gorgeous during the summer. bartenders are fine. read more

Great location- amazing bar staff and wait staff! Everyone is very attentive and personable wanting to ensure that you have a great experience- the food is great - can't go wrong with the burgers- I would have chosen the lobster roll- but IMO for the price it looked small. The oysters and shrimp looked great! Bring on the Guinness and drinks! read more

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. read more

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! read more

So the calamari is good and nothing special like other fried calamari. I don't like the idea of all of the peppers In there. They are mushy, which then causes the calamari to be soggy and not crispy because of all the grease they hold, but I love the horseradish Tatar sauce. This dip is delicious. Now, the shepherd's pie is pretty good and has a great flavor. I would get this again. I also got the cheesecake, and I have to say it is pretty darn good. You can taste the cream cheese and all the flavors that make it a cheesecake. Overall, this was a great place to enjoy a nice dinner with a view of the Statue of Liberty. It would have been a five-star rating, but the calamari was what it did for me. But if you wanna drink at the bar with all the hustle and bustle, this is the place to be. read more

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! read more

P.J. Clarke's - Dips for two - American Near Me - New York, New York

The restaurant is huge.... Noise quality outside was very nice. Views outside, breath taking .. especially if you go before sunset. Our waiter was great, although pushed a bit too hard to be liked. Food: Ordered two burgers, medium rare, came out medium-well. I was so looking forward to a nice thick juicy burger and was disappointed in size, taste and doneness. Drinks were well made. Enough alcohol, to easy your Friday pains. Restroom: Department of health should shut them down. Gross to the max. Bathroom stalls were disgusting, not to mention the walls. We will not discuss the smell. Come on, a little lysol and a hot sponge to the wall will do the trick. Passing the kitchen on the way to the John, under the hot lamps we noticed a try of oysters, sitting under the hot lamps. WHAT? Really??? Who is not watching what is going on in there? After the bathroom visit, this was the icing to the cake! . Oh.. Speaking of cake... The chocolate brownie desert was to die for! Next time you go out to eat.. Go to the bathroom first, that will set the mood for the entire food experience. I. M. H. O. read more

Located in a shopping mall, but with fantastic views from one of the dining rooms. Legit saw the statue of liberty out the window. Who knew. A very large place and they were able to accommodate our group no problem (with a reservation of course). The service and food were both fantastic. My bar was low, people! Seemed touristy and a little chain-y. Don't care. It was all good - anything seafood was a winner. Our server Roxie was so thoughtful, and I hope the management know what a great employee they have in her. read more

Rude staff, horrible food. Avoid at all costs! Food was absolutely impossible to eat.

I am taking the trouble to write, which I rarely do, because it was just a bummer to go to PJ's at Lincoln Plaza and have poor service (slow, inattentive, I changed tables), then martini's which a. tasted badly (this never happens) AND were served 1/3 empty. For over.20 bucks? so disappointing. What has happened? I have loved this place for decades. read more

Everything went well as always. Most important is next to food is seating here. It can tend to be a bit loud in the front as Wall St and the financial ppl stop for cocktails. Our waiter was kind enough to seat us all the way in the back where it's quiet. Think of walking past 2 dining rooms. Booths, tables and magnificent views in the water. There is a raw clam and oyster bar, a pleasant diverse menu. Well known for their burgers my friend had a perfectly cooked cheese burger I had the salmon FRESH melted in my mouth. I ask for it well done, not easy to achieve without drying it out. Perfection. On a bed of artichoke hearts and some squash I dived in. . I was devouring it, needed a decent meal to be honest. We shared an order of their delicious FF's. A winner with sea salt and truffle oil. This is the only place I eat fries, well I take that back with sea salt and truffle oil, anywhere definitely not frozen. The service was fast but not rushed, old friends wanted to settle in defuse by the water. The location is so beautiful. An end to summer first day of fall night, a bit humid or we would have eaten outside. It's always nice to be on or near the water. The night was serene after a walk through the former ground zero, the reflection pools, a beautiful mall. It's amazing so much history in one corner. I must say it's become a peaceful bitter sweet location. There is something for everyone, just a drink, fresh clam bar or FRESH anything. Never disappointed, the food is FRESH. I also recommend walk through the bar for a back table it's quiet the restaurant is huge, reservations recommended. Seating outside peaceful with views of sail boats and huge yachts just steps away from 911 museum and twin towers. The city at night overlooking NJ is surely a powerful example of strength and resilience. PS I don't usually take pics of food, only pretty dessert. A burger looks like a burger, salmon looks like salmon. I try and capture the dining experience, food fresh with good service. What's more to ask, sitting by the water or looking at it from air conditioning! read more

Food not as good as before. Was disappointed with the lobster roll and appetizer . I used to come afterwork pretty often.

Ambiance? Stellar. Check in/host? Wonderful. Food? just OK-except the Hummus came with veggies that were dirty and literally just chopped in half, leaving ALL the seeds and stems on them. I had to wipe the dirt off of them. Cmon guys. And lastly... Service? No bueno. The server with the giant gauges in his ear doesn't like his job. He actually made the experience disappointing for us, despite the amazing view. We kept having to chase him down, and he barely spoke to us. We felt like he wanted us to leave so we stopped ordering food and just asked for the check. read more

Came for a super late lunch/early dinner. There were plenty of seats and the view was nice. Ordered the miso baked oysters ($17 for 4 oysters... to share so that's $4.25 an oyster!) Pretty expensive but it was fresh. My friend got the proper fish & chips ($27) - craft beer batter and tartar sauce on the side. The batter was mushy so that was disappointing. I got the Cadillac burger which had double smoked bacon, American cheese, lettuce, tomato and onion served with dill pickles and sea salt fries ($25). Burger was ok and it was pretty small. Food wasn't really that impressive however the service was alright as they kept checking in and see if everything was good. read more

It was a cold, rainy December day and my mom and I needed somewhere to eat that was close to the 9/11 Memorial Museum. P.J. Clarke's on the Hudson was beautiful! If it was a clear day, we could see all the way out to the Statue of Liberty. Our server was fast and friendly! We split the warm zucchini and eggplant chips with feta and tzatziki and it was SO good! We'd highly recommend those to start. My mom and I both got soup, and both were just okay. The serving size was small but it hit the spot for the cold day it was. Overall, we would recommend P.J. Clarke's. read more

PJ Clarke's is conveniently located by the water at Brookfield Place. It's always poppin' no matter what day or time. We arrived, put name down, and walked around for another 30 mins before being seated. The ambiance is great with fairy lights wrapped around the trees. Pretty romantic at night! Food, on the other hand, was just average. East coast oyster (4/5): Decent and not fishy! Bread and butter (4/5): Crazy how it's $4 for bread but it wasn't bad. Clam chowder (2/5): Sour tasting and watered down. Pomegranate cosmopolitan (1/5): I can't taste the pomegranate. This entire cocktail tasted like rubbing alcohol. read more

This restaurant has a great location by the water, and the ambiance is cool. The main courses weren't that good though which was disappointing. I got a burger medium well and it came out veryyyy pink and underdone; could barely eat any of it. Tried some lobster roll as well and wasn't impressed; texture was off and needed more flavoring. Other guests also emphasized their dishes as bland. The appetizers were better than the main dishes in my opinion. read more

Great views but that is all I can say about this establishment. Understandably busy during the start to summer happy hour season, but the waitstaff act as if your presence is disturbing them. Waiters forget to bring your orders, do not communicate wait times well, and do not bring over silverware to eat the food you ordered. Exorbitant food prices considered...you are better off getting takeout from Hudson Eats and sitting at one of the open tables next door to the restaurant. read more

I came here for a work lunch and the views are beautiful, service is great but food is disappointing. Maybe my expectations were too high but I thought their burger was just average. I ordered the au poivre burger medium and it was a little dry and didn't have much flavor except the peppercorn. The fries were nice and crispy though. My coworker and I also split the sea scallop tartare which was ok. The pepe rosa was a nice touch but the scallop wasn't anything exceptional and the four mandarin slices seemed out of place. Our 2 burgers and scallop tartare cost $84 including tax and tip which is steep for the quality. Come here for the views of the water or the old school NY atmosphere, but don't expect much from the food. read more

Nice setting, meh food. The setting can't be beat. Beautiful location on the Hudson in Brookfield Place. But I got the "proper fish and chips." It wasn't proper. The fish was OK, had better, had worse. Light batter, not kludgy and pasty, good job on the batter. Both fish and fries were under-salted. I think they forgot the salt, frankly. But the fries were just frozen shoestring fries. Skinny ones at that, not even as big as McDonalds fries. That is of course NOT proper fish & chips. Fish & chips is supposed to be hand-cut fries. No excuses here. The skinny shoe strings were just wrong. And there was no coleslaw of any kind. I went back and checked the menu - it does not mention any. But every self-respecting fish & chips eater knows that there should be slaw or mushy peas. This comes with neither. Try harder, PJ.C's. The corner cutting was noticed. read more
