Restaurants near Ellis Island

we love the odeon. have been coming here since the 80s. always on top of their game. menu and staff changes but still a very comfortable dining spot. love it. today, i decided to not order my usual steak frites and profiteros and instead went for the potato leak soup, the caesar salad and the ice cream sandwich. our server, peyton, was attentive and friendly. thank you. we finished dessert and lingered to talk some more. we were allowed to do so even though the dining room was busy. thank you. some places ride their reputation. not the odeon, they consistently deliver.

My wife and I celebrated our 28th wedding anniversary at Maddy Rose tonight, and it was absolutely amazing. This choice was a complete shot in the dark. I had never heard of them. It was literally a ChatGPT inquiry for restaurants from Jersey City to Weehawken with a view of the city. The food was excellent, the view was excellent, the live jazz band was excellent, the drinks were excellent, and the service was excellent - all of them. Enrique was our server, and he was absolutely amazing. They had special Anniversary Menus, and our deserts had little chocolate "Happy Anniversary " labels. Oh yes, and the desert was excellent. After dinner, we sat by the fire pit and listened to the rest of the jazz set until it ended. Let me not forget the wonderful hostess that patiently took us to several different seating areas until we found one that suited us. Kudos all the way around. This will certainly not be our last visit. We are telling everyone we know!

Terrific location with great view of Manhattan. Excellent menu, but table service was a little inexperienced. Overall would highly recommend.

We sat at the bar and though I was initially concerned about comfort level, I was very wrong. It was very comfortable and we had the added bonus of watching the sushi chefs. We shared Spicy Tuna, a special Salmon and Pear, and another Salmon appetizer. Every one was delicious. I had Creamy Spicy Crab as my entree, and my dining partner had a 2 piece Black Cod. It was all delicious. The wait staff was attentive and made excellent recommendations throughout.
