I visited this diner for breakfast this morning and had a very good omelette. The food was…read moreenjoyable, and the staff was friendly and attentive throughout my visit. However, as I was leaving, I noticed a display of U.S. Presidents' photos. Most of the photos were neatly displayed, including President Trump and other presidents, but President Obama's photo appeared noticeably different and was not displayed in the same manner as the others. Whether intentional or not, the presentation stood out to me and left me feeling uncomfortable. I believe businesses should strive to present historical and political figures consistently and respectfully. Unfortunately, this observation detracted from an otherwise positive dining experience. While I appreciated the food and service, I do not plan to return.

It was one of the best breakfasts we've had, and the portions were huge! We sat outside, and the atmosphere was beautiful.

She took the time to chat with us, answered all of our questions, and gave great recommendations when I couldn't decide between two dishes. The food came out quickly, and the service was excellent from start to finish. We'll definitely be back!

I rarely give middling or low reviews so it pains me a bit to do so, but this place is kind of dirty and the coffee isn't great. The food is totally decent, but I think our experience as a whole was soured by a little cockroach skittering across the side wall and eventually on my seat. This could have been a rare coincidence, but the place inside just seemed kind of grimy in general. Our table was gross when we sat down and had to be thoroughly wiped before we could start eating. My girlfriend and I also both smelled super oily the entire rest of our ride in the car, which I think has to do with the grills being so close and open right next to our seats. Overall, since the food was decent and service was good, I still give 3 stars and qualify that perhaps the roach was just an unlucky coincidence, but we certainly won't be going back again.

Something about this place just had that "breakfast from home" feeling and would definitely check this spot out if you're in the area!

It was the absolute perfect way to close out my first visit to the East Coast. The original plan was going to be dinner somewhere else, but time had pushed us past our reservation. We decided on The Highwood since it was open late and let's face it, who would refuse the view of the NYC skyline? It was a wonderful evening to dine out on the patio and the service was excellent. We ordered our food and drinks and has great conversation. We did not have any complaints about any of the food or drink items. The chicken sandwich that I ordered was very filling. The french fries had a nice crisp to them on the outside and I especially liked the garnish on top. Dressed up fries are sexy fries! We were there for a good while, but the staff was very friendly and didn't try to kick us out or anything. We were one of the last ones to leave, but they were all so nice. I would definitely come back here again. You should check it out if you haven't already. I highly recommend sitting outside as you will marvel at the view across the street! Prices aren't bad and they ha e a broad selection of dishes to choose from. EnJOY your visit!

But three friends, craving yummy eats, strong drinks, and fun vibes, refused to call it a night. Luckily, The Highwood was still open until midnight-just what we needed to kick off our late night yap~ This is an elevated sports bar with waterfront views of Midtown Manhattan, directly across the street from the Port Imperial Ferry Terminal. Metered street parking is limited in the area, but there's a garage attached to the building. Even though it's a few steps above your typical divey sports bar, the overall atmosphere is still pretty casual. There's plenty of seating, whether you want to sit at the main bar, in leather booths, at high tops, or outside on the patio. With over 30 TVs, this is a hot spot to catch a game, from football and UFC fights to the World Cup. You definitely don't have to come dressed to impress, but there's a dress code. It's nothing too serious, more like "stylish sportswear or casual sophistication". Interpret that as you will lol. The restaurant wasn't busy, so we were able to sit wherever we wanted. We chose the outdoor patio, where we had a view of that iconic NYC skyline that we never get tired of having in our backyard. The menu mixes classic pub grub with more upscale dishes-pizza, wings, burgers, sushi, steak, seafood, and more. We started off with some drinky drinks and, of course, took full advantage of the $8 Martini Monday deal... DUH ;) We got lychee & espresso martinis, which were *chef's kiss* I loved the balance of vodka and lychee in mine--sweet and strong! They brew their espresso in-house, so no pre-made mix nonsense here. For our main dishes, we ordered: *Highwood Burger $24 (smashed double patty, aged cheddar cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, dill pickles, and burger sauce on a brioche bun) with side of sweet potato fries *Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwich $23 (Southern fried chicken thigh, pecanwood smoked bacon, maple chipotle sauce, lettuce, and dill pickles on a sesame brioche bun) with side of fries *Bluefin Tuna Tartare $22 (diced bluefin tuna, scallions, avocado, mango, sesame seeds, furikake, yuzu ponzu, and rice-nori chips) No major complaints-everything was generally on point. My friends enjoyed the fried chicken sandwich and tuna; both were tasty and good quality. I just wish my burger patties were juicier! Service was friendly and quick. Since it was a quiet night, I appreciated that the staff didn't rush us out even though we closed the place down LOL. Shoutout to the management and staff for working and staying open late on a holiday! Final thoughts... Honestly, there are other bars in the area with better food, but The Highwood is still a solid option. The food didn't blow me away, but it's a great choice if you want a mix of bar grub and elevated dishes. There are still plenty of reasons to come back-game days, weekend brunch, late-night DJs, and drinks with a view. Why not all of the above? Highwood... you passed the vibe check! This was the perfect way to cap off the holiday weekend with friends! Now I'm curious to see what this place is like when the crowd and energy are turned ALLLLLLLL the way up!

Unfortunately, they don't have a liquor license yet, so it's BYOB if you want wine with dinner, but they're happy to open it and pour for you. Really, I highly recommend it.

I liked the flavors of the desgranados mixto, we also ordered 2 seltzer waters which in my opinion was a bit overpriced. The whole menu in general is a bit expensive for what they have to offer. I would order for take out but wouldn't dine in often.
