For the derby they had a really nice setup down by the bar area which included a rose wall to take pictures in front of.

Is…read moreit a sports bar where patrons slam beers while shouting at their favorite game on one of the many giant tv screens? Or is it a restaurant for a nice family outing? The problem is... it tries to be all 3. We started with the owner trying to seat us at a high top table that basically was halfway in a major aisle. He seemed perturbed when we asked for a different table. Fortunately a young girl framed the menus and brought us to a much nicer table. She was bubbly, friendly and full of enthusiasm. We chose this spot for dinner because of its proximity to our hotel but had there been other options... The music was so loud my wife couldn't hear me without my shouting. Nether could our waitress. She told us it's always this loud and they struggle to hear customers. The food was good although prices were a bit high. Waited was attentive. Half way through our meal, it suddenly got quiet. Very weird.

We actually called earlier in the day to ask if we can move up the reservation and they were totally fine with it. I guess it was not a busy time because it was empty when we arrived. We were seated quickly and welcomed by all the staff. The waitress we had was new and I wish I remembered her name. She was excellent! We started with drinks and everyone ordered the Frozen Ginny, except for my mom, who had a glass of wine. Me and my gf kept boasting about the frozen ginny and everyone loved it. It's the perfect amount of sweetness. We ordered a bunch of appetizers because we were all starving. We had the brisket sliders, octopus, shrimp tacos, and meatballs. It was all so delicious and filled with flavor. My fav was the brisket sliders. We ate everything and still had space when we moved onto our entrees. I think it was less because we were still hungry and more because it was soo good. I also boasted about the crab pasta so 3 out of the 5 of us had it. My mom and I ended up splitting the crab pasta and steak frites because that's also tasty. My gf had her salmon with salad that she was craving for a while. All of the dishes were a hit and my group kept saying how great the place was. My gf ended up getting me a custom cake and paid the cake fee but the Harry's team took it a step further and even helped her fix up the cake and put the candles in because the bakery messed things up last minute. The team went above and beyond with no questions asked to make our reservation smooth and enjoyable. I'm so grateful! I will be coming back soon DUH!

The setting is hard to beat-- the skyline views create a beautiful backdrop that really elevates the entire meal especially at night. The food isn't flawless across the board, but its definitely good. With some standout highlights. If you like oysters, the Kumamotos are a must-- buttery, rich and incredibly fresh. And the petit filet mignon is executed to perfection, cooked exactly right and full of flavor.

Cancel your reservation and go to Woodhouse. This place- Huge disappointment. I read the reviews,…read morerolled the dice -- and completely regret it. Let's start with the basics: $65 for a steak with a $25 shrimp add-on -- and the food was barely seasoned. The meat quality didn't match the price tag, not even close. You'd be better off going to Peter Luger or literally any real steakhouse where they know how to treat a cut of meat. They offer poor quality cuts of meat with hefty price tags. Had to pay extra for bread which we asked for and they offered a "smoked" drink with smoke bitters- no actual smoke. Service? A mess. It took 20 minutes just to get our drinks, and the waiter messed up the order -- no apology, no urgency. There are no purse hooks, so be ready to juggle your bag in your lap or throw it on the floor. The ambiance/ city overlook is beautiful but only from the rooftop outside area as the big Waterway sign mucks up your photos indoors when pitched toward NYC. So that definitely isn't special or upscale enough to justify the premium pricing or overlook how mediocre everything else is including the drink menu. Honestly, I should've trusted my gut (and the critical reviews), but I gave it a shot and made an awful choice. Won't be back, and wouldn't recommend it to anyone who actually appreciates good food and decent service.

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 service was still professional and friendly, but the food left something to be desired. Though it was a Thursday evening, the weather was not great, so it was not overly surprising that the restaurant was not very crowded. Because of that fact, the gracious hostess offered us our choice of a few different tables, from a larger booth to a two-top near the window. We opted for the booth that would give us a chance to look out into the restaurant AND to still see the Manhattan skyline. We decided to order some drinks, and I opted for an Espresso Martini, which was not typically something I would have gotten before dessert, but I wanted the extra caffeine! Plus, their version included a caramel cold foam, which enticingly made it extra creamy and delicious. In fact, it was definitely one of the best espresso martinis I had ever had. We were deciding to skip any starters, so we asked for some bread while we waited for our entrees. The plate of focaccia was decent and hit the spot, but we were charged $2 for it, which was not a big deal but also not appreciated. For my entree, I went with the Lobster Bouillabaisse. The broth was flavorful, but there was not much of it. In fact, the dish came with three sweet rolls to dip into the soup, but I could have lived with less given the limited amount of liquid in the bowl. The included blue prawns were good, but the Hokkaido scallops and lobster were chewy. There was also supposed to jumbo lump crab, which seemed to have been replaced by gritty clams. There were also leeks and Yukon potatoes that were sliced in small cylinders and looked fairly similar to each other. The potatoes were bland, cold, and under-cooked. Overall, it was not very impressive for $48. My companion's Prime Filet Mignon was of an unknown size on the menu, but arrived looking smaller than the typical 8-ounces. It was also over-cooked. He did like his mashed potatoes, though. For dessert, we decided to get the Apple and Pear Bread Pudding again, since that had been excellent last time and would hopefully be a redeeming feature of the meal, which it was. The sweet, caramelized brioche had been infused with cubes of fruit, baked, and drizzled with a sea salt caramel. We replaced the designated companion creme fraiche gelato with a scoop of passion fruit sorbet, which was less of an appropriate pairing, but more of an appealing variety to us. While Drift truly offered a stunning space with incredible service, they really could improve their culinary preparations.
