AI-generated summary
People go for the view. It sits right under the Manhattan Bridge with floor to ceiling windows and waterfront seats, indoors or out. The food splits people. Some say it's meh and you're paying for the setting, others say it's better than it has to be given how pretty the room is. The common advice is to order a bunch of dips and apps and split an entree.
