G. M.Newark, NJ33218/13/2022Horrible experience and the method of service is the reason why. There's what they call self service for food and drinks. There's no waiters except for people taking your plates when you're done eating.
You go and order at the bar, food and drinks together. So if you want to start with an appetizer and maybe an entree and desert for example, you order and pay all together. They give you a buzzer and you go select your table. Food comes out all at the same time and by the time you eat, everything is cold. Appetizers were cold because they sat waiting on entrees to be cooked and we sent it back. They were not much better when they cooked the second batch. Entrees were not good and cold as well. Lousy place with tons of potentials. Good ambiance. Will definitely not recommend spending money for overpriced bad food just to sit on the Hudson.
25116210498/10/2021This is place was wonderful. The food was delicious and the drinks were great. It was a bit pricey but because of the location and the view it is totally worth it. The staff was friendly and efficient. We did have to wait for a table because there was an event but they text us when the table was ready and the food and the drinks came out quickly. Will certainly go back.
Dean K.Brooklyn, NY314345/2/2022Great place for a very casual drink and lunch or dinner while floating on the Hudson. The food and drinks are excellent, I suggest the fish & chips and garlic hummus. Order at the bar and they text you to pick the food yourself. Amazing river views, but make sure you have your sea legs if you choose to chill at the end of the dock, cause it can get shaky.

Atmosphere: 5/5
Food: 1/5
Drinks: 2/5
The atmosphere was great! If you're looking for a place on the water with inexpensive (and good) beer, then this is a great choice! But the food is terrible. Fish and chips were not good. Lobster roll was too lemony and the bread was stale. 
471023810/11/2020I've been coming the pan for 6 or 7 years now and I've never had a bad experience! Their food is great - we always get the fish & chips with old bay fries or calamari, they have a lot of different options though (lobster rolls/tacos/salads).
*THEY HAVE THE BEST BLOODY MARY IN THE WORLD* This is not an exaggeration. I recently found out what they put into their Mary, which is a game changer, but we are Bloody Mary people and theirs is #1.
The vibe is very laidback, we do try to avoid weekends when it's b&t/tourist crowd (pre-covid) but when things get back to normal, know it's very busy on the weekends.
In terms of covid, they were regimented in their precautions. The tables are more than 6ft apart, we even thought they could add more tables and still be compliant to restrictions but it was VERY spaced out.
You now order and pay on your phone and your order comes out unusually fast. Also if you're looking for the Bloody Mary, on the drinks tab scroll to Tito's and then it lets you chose your mixer.
Lisa Marie K.Manhattan, NY2501441818/12/2021Food was ok. Service soso but the views were amazing that's all - plus no
Real utensils very cafeteria feel for restaurant fine dine prices. Pino Grigio tasted like soda / mussels were good
Sonia D.Manhattan, NY3353998/5/2021Came for a late night bite to eat, view is spectacular and the idea of the boat even better!
Will be coming back
Daud A.Metuchen, NJ1032329/8/2021Amazing Ambience
The food, first of all, is good. The experience is really cool because the restaurant is build in an old steamship. And as it rocks it gives you the feeling that you're sailing away. So come Sail Away with some "Westside Sunset" in your hands!
Tyler P.Brooklyn, NY127628/16/2021Food wasn't bad. Service was ok. Reason for three stars is the "Jumbo" Wings . These had to be the smallest wings I've ever gotten in my life. Were they tasty? Yes, but there was more celery and carrots than chicken. You can see the wings in the pictures. I do not have extremely large hands lol. At $2.25 a wing I'd like more than one bite per piece.
Garlic hummus was delicious as was the spicy watermelon margarita.
Luke M.Midtown, St. Louis, MO165215/2/2021The only reason why I'm not giving them 1 star is because the staff is friendly, the atmosphere and view is nice but the chicken sandwiches we ordered were horrible.
Burnt on the outside, rubbery and border-line raw in the inside. Had one bite and put it down immediately. Notified a staff member, said the manager would talk to me, we waited 10 minutes and decided to just leave after that.
Never order chicken on a boat... especially this one.
