Best Pre-Theater Restaurants in Gowanus

Excellent little restaurant in Chelsea, chosen from an Open table search and reviews. Chosen to celebrate our daughter's 18th birthday in NYC. Seasonal decor, we were well looked after from arrival, the host and staff went out of their way to make our daughter's birthday special. The food was excellent and I would categorize it as Italian American, so Italian with flare. Portions were large but food quality and presentation was of the highest standard, we even found a wine that didn't break the bank, our waitress was lovely and attentive. We were lucky we found this little gem of a restaurant.

I went there with my friend. We shared The Gotham Rob Steak On The Bone, garlic mashed potato, and crème brûlée. The meat was tender and well tasted. The ambiance was great not too noisy or too quiet. The staff was friendly but not persistent. It was fabulous time there!

Server was incredibly friendly and helpful. The food was really good quality (the poached eggs were fantastic) and the coffee was good, too. Fantastic location and a great experience!

We had a very nice dinner last night. We met Tal for the first time. He was very friendly & helpful. All the servers were great. Loved the Dorado & the gnocchi my wife had was especially delicious.

Our favorite place for dinner in downtown Battery Park City area! Three times here for special occasions, and never a disappointment, in fact, expectations were exceeded every time. Service was always impeccable, food, ambience and quality all equally impressive. I will be going back in a couple of weeks.
