Located on the Brooklyn waterfront with an unmatched view of the East River and the twinkling Manhattan skyline, this elegant old-timer has always been a favorite for celebrating special occasions. The kitchen prepares sophisticated, artistically plated New American fare like lobster, rack of lamb and duck. The wine list is award-winning, and the service is unobtrusive.
